Best Chimney Leak Repair Company

We Know Rhode Island Chimneys

Above and Beyond Chimney has been solving leak problems across Providence County for years. We understand how Rhode Island’s coastal moisture affects chimney systems differently than inland areas.

Your neighbors in Reservoir deal with the same weather patterns, the same freeze-thaw cycles, and the same challenges that come with older homes built in the 1960s. We’ve seen it all, from simple flashing repairs to complete crown rebuilds.

We’re not the company that shows up, takes a quick look, and gives you a huge estimate. We take time to explain what’s actually wrong, what needs fixing now, and what can wait. That’s how we’ve built our reputation here.

Fireplace Flashing Repair Process

Here's How We Stop Your Leak

First, we inspect your entire chimney system—not just where you see water. Leaks often start in one place and show up somewhere completely different. We check your fireplace flashing, crown, cap, and mortar joints to find every entry point.

Next, we explain exactly what we found and why water is getting in. You’ll see photos of the problem areas and understand what needs to happen to fix them permanently.

Then we get to work. We might reseal flashing around the chimney base, repair a cracked crown, install a new chimney cap to stop leaking, or replace deteriorated mortar. Whatever it takes to create a watertight seal that will hold up against Rhode Island weather.

Affordable Chimney Leak Repair

What You Get With Our Service

Every leak repair includes a complete inspection of your chimney system. We don’t just patch the obvious problem—we make sure there aren’t other issues waiting to surprise you next month.

In Providence County, we see the same patterns over and over. Fireplace flashing fails where it meets the roofline. Crowns crack from freeze-thaw cycles. Chimney caps go missing in storms, leaving your flue wide open to rain. We know what to look for and how to fix it right.

You get detailed photos of all problem areas, clear explanations of what needs repair, and honest recommendations about what’s urgent versus what can wait. We protect your home during the work with drop cloths and HEPA-filtered equipment, then clean up completely when we’re done. Most importantly, you get a chimney that actually keeps water out.

How do I know if my chimney is leaking water?

The most obvious signs are water stains on walls or ceiling near your fireplace, especially after heavy rain. You might also notice a musty smell coming from the fireplace area, white staining on the outside of your chimney, or actual water pooling in the firebox. But some leaks are sneaky. Water might be getting in through damaged flashing and running down inside the walls before you see any stains. If you suspect a leak, don’t wait—water damage gets expensive fast, and what starts as a small repair can turn into a major reconstruction project.
Rhode Island’s weather is tough on chimneys. The biggest culprit is usually damaged flashing—the metal strips that seal the gap between your chimney and roof. Freeze-thaw cycles cause the sealant to crack, and heavy rains find those cracks quickly. Chimney crowns also take a beating here. That concrete cap at the top of your chimney expands and contracts with temperature changes, creating cracks that let water in. Missing or damaged chimney caps are another common problem, especially after storms. When there’s no cap, rain goes straight down the flue and into your home.
Simple flashing repairs might run $300-600, depending on how much needs to be resealed. Crown repairs typically cost $500-1200, while a complete crown replacement can be $800-1500. If you need a new chimney cap, that’s usually $200-500 installed. The real cost is what happens if you don’t fix the leak. Water damage to your walls, ceiling, and home’s structure can easily run into thousands of dollars. Plus, a leaking chimney can cause mold problems and compromise your home’s air quality. Getting it fixed quickly is always the cheaper option.
Chimney work is dangerous, and leak repairs often require getting on your roof and working with specialized materials. More importantly, if you don’t identify all the leak sources, you’ll be back up there again next season dealing with the same problem. Professional chimney technicians know how to spot hidden damage and understand which sealants and materials work best in Rhode Island’s climate. We also carry insurance and know the local building codes. A DIY repair that fails can actually make the problem worse and more expensive to fix properly.
Most leak repairs take 4-8 hours, depending on what needs to be done. Simple flashing resealing might be done in half a day, while crown repairs or multiple issues can take a full day or more. Weather affects the timeline—we need dry conditions for sealants to cure properly. If we’re replacing a crown, that needs time to set before we can apply waterproofing. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The important thing is doing it right, not doing it fast.
Insurance coverage depends on what caused the leak and your specific policy. If the leak resulted from a storm or sudden damage, you might have coverage. But if it’s due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance, most policies won’t cover it. We can provide detailed documentation of the damage and repair work for your insurance claim if needed. Either way, fixing the leak quickly prevents additional damage that definitely won’t be covered. It’s worth checking with your agent, but don’t delay repairs while you’re waiting for an answer.
