What's Included in Our Leak Repair

Every chimney leak repair includes a complete assessment of your flashing, crown, cap, and masonry. We don’t just patch the obvious problem—we make sure water can’t find another way in.

In Chepachet and throughout Providence County, we see the same patterns: flashing fails where your chimney meets the roof, crowns crack from freeze-thaw cycles, and caps get damaged by ice and snow loads. We fix all of these issues using materials specifically chosen for New England conditions.

Your repair includes proper waterproofing that breathes—letting moisture escape while keeping rain and snow out. We also clean up completely when we’re done, so you don’t have debris or dust left behind. The goal is simple: stop the leak, protect your home, and give you one less thing to worry about.

What causes chimney leaks in Providence County homes?

Rhode Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are the biggest culprit. Water gets into small cracks in your mortar or crown, freezes overnight, expands, and makes the cracks bigger. Over several seasons, this creates gaps where water can pour in.Flashing problems are also common here. Heavy snow loads and ice dams put stress on the metal seals around your chimney. When flashing pulls away from the roof or chimney, water has a direct path into your home.Missing or damaged chimney caps let rain and snow fall straight down your flue. In our climate, that water freezes and thaws repeatedly, causing damage from the inside out.

How quickly can you fix a chimney leak emergency?

For active leaks causing immediate damage, we can often provide temporary weatherproofing within 24-48 hours to stop further water intrusion. This gives us time to properly assess the situation and plan the permanent repair.Emergency repairs typically involve tarping, temporary flashing patches, or sealants that hold until we can do the complete fix. Most permanent repairs are scheduled within a week of the initial call, depending on weather conditions and material availability.We prioritize leak calls because we know water damage gets worse quickly. The sooner we can stop the water, the less damage you’ll have to deal with inside your home.

Will my homeowners insurance cover chimney leak repairs?

Insurance coverage depends on what caused the leak and your specific policy terms. Sudden damage from storms or fallen trees is often covered, while gradual deterioration from normal wear typically isn’t.If the leak caused interior damage—like water stains, damaged drywall, or ruined flooring—that secondary damage is more likely to be covered than the chimney repair itself. Document everything with photos and keep all repair receipts.We can provide detailed reports and documentation that help with insurance claims. Many of our customers have successfully gotten coverage for water damage repairs, even when the chimney work itself wasn’t covered.

How do I know if my chimney leak is serious?

Any water inside your home is serious and needs immediate attention. Look for water stains on walls or ceilings near your fireplace, damp smells in your basement, or actual dripping during rain storms.White staining on your exterior chimney bricks (called efflorescence) means water is moving through your masonry. Rust stains on your damper or firebox indicate water is getting down your flue. Both of these signs mean the problem is ongoing, not just occasional.If you see chunks of mortar on your roof or around your chimney base, that’s freeze-thaw damage that’s creating entry points for water. The sooner you address these signs, the less expensive and extensive the repairs will be.

Can I prevent chimney leaks in Rhode Island weather?

Annual inspections catch small problems before they become leak sources. We recommend scheduling these in late summer or early fall, before winter weather starts the freeze-thaw cycle that causes most damage.Proper waterproofing helps, but it needs to be the breathable type that lets moisture escape while keeping rain out. Standard waterproofing can actually trap moisture inside your masonry and cause more damage.Keep your gutters clean and make sure water drains away from your chimney base. Ice dams and standing water create conditions that accelerate chimney deterioration. A well-maintained cap and crown are your best defense against water intrusion from above.
