Trusted Chimney Experts South Rehoboth

We Know Bristol County Chimneys Inside and Out

Above and Beyond Chimney has been solving chimney problems throughout Bristol County for years, and we understand exactly what South Rehoboth homes face. The coastal moisture here hits chimney brickwork differently than inland areas. The freeze-thaw cycles we get every winter create specific patterns of damage that require local expertise to diagnose and fix properly.

We’ve seen how the types of wood commonly burned in this region affect creosote buildup, and we know which repair materials hold up best against our New England weather. When you call us, you’re getting technicians who have worked on hundreds of chimneys just like yours.

Our approach is straightforward: we show up when we say we will, we explain what we find in plain English, and we give you honest recommendations without trying to sell you services you don’t need.

Our Chimney Leak Repair Process

How We Actually Find and Fix Your Leak

First, we inspect your entire chimney system to identify exactly where water is getting in. This isn’t guesswork – we check the flashing where your chimney meets the roof, examine the crown and cap for cracks, and look for signs of masonry deterioration. We also check for the tricky stuff, like condensation issues that can disguise themselves as leaks.

Once we pinpoint the source, we explain what we found and what it’ll take to fix it. No surprises, no hidden costs. If it’s damaged flashing, we replace it with materials designed to handle our weather. If your chimney crown has cracks, we use concrete mixes with special additives that resist freeze-thaw damage.

After repairs, we test everything to make sure the leak is actually gone. You get a clear explanation of what we did and what to watch for going forward. The goal is solving your problem permanently, not creating a reason for us to come back next year.

Complete Chimney Leak Solutions

Everything Included in Professional Leak Repair

Our chimney leak repair service covers all the common culprits that cause problems in South Rehoboth homes. We handle flashing repair and replacement, chimney crown restoration, cap installation, and masonry work. If your leak involves multiple issues – which happens more often than you’d think – we address everything in one visit.

Bristol County’s weather is particularly hard on chimneys. The combination of coastal moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and the occasional severe storm with 60+ mph winds creates a perfect storm for chimney damage. We use materials specifically chosen to handle these conditions, like copper or galvanized steel caps and concrete mixes designed to resist cracking.

We also protect your home during the work. Multiple layers of drop cloths around your fireplace, HEPA-filtered vacuums for soot and debris, and careful cleanup mean you won’t find dust or mess after we’re done. This is your home, and we treat it that way.

How do I know if my chimney is actually leaking or if it's condensation?

This is one of the trickiest questions homeowners face, and it’s why professional diagnosis matters. True leaks typically show up during or right after rain and storms. You’ll see water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney, water pooling in your fireplace, or dampness that gets worse with heavy weather. Condensation, on the other hand, often happens when gas appliances vent through old chimneys or when you have gas logs with a cracked liner. The byproduct of gas combustion is water vapor, which can condense against cool masonry and drip back down, mimicking a leak. This usually happens regardless of weather conditions. We use specific diagnostic techniques to tell the difference, including examining the timing of water appearance, checking for rust patterns, and inspecting your venting system. Getting this right the first time saves you from unnecessary repairs and ensures we fix the actual problem.
Damaged or improperly installed flashing causes about 70% of the chimney leaks we see in Bristol County. Flashing is the thin metal sheeting that seals where your chimney meets the roof – it’s the most vulnerable point in your entire system. Many roofers install flashing incorrectly or use substandard materials that can’t handle our freeze-thaw cycles. Sometimes they skip replacing flashing entirely when doing roof work, assuming the old flashing will protect the new roof. That rarely works out well for homeowners. The coastal moisture here accelerates flashing deterioration, and our winter weather – with temperatures swinging above and below freezing – puts extra stress on these seals. When flashing fails, water doesn’t just drip into your chimney; it can get into your roof structure and walls, causing damage you won’t see until it’s extensive and expensive.
Most chimney leak repairs in our area run between $300 and $800, depending on what’s causing the problem. Simple flashing repairs might cost $400-600, while crown restoration or cap replacement can range from $500-800. If you need multiple repairs, we often bundle services to save you money. The key is catching problems early. A $500 flashing repair today prevents the $10,000-15,000 chimney rebuild you’ll face if water gets into your masonry and causes structural damage. We’ve seen homeowners spend more on water damage restoration inside their homes than they would have spent fixing the original leak. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work. No surprises, no hidden costs. If we find additional problems during repair, we’ll explain what we found and get your approval before doing any extra work. Our goal is solving your problem cost-effectively, not maximizing our bill.
For emergency situations where water is actively entering your home, we can often provide same-day service to stop the immediate problem. We’ll do whatever temporary measures are necessary to protect your home, then schedule a complete repair once weather permits. Most permanent repairs can be completed within 2-3 days of your call, weather permitting. We keep common repair materials in stock specifically for South Rehoboth and surrounding Bristol County areas, so we’re not waiting for special orders while your home gets damaged. The timing depends partly on what’s causing the leak. Flashing repairs can usually be done quickly, while crown restoration might take longer if we need to let concrete cure properly. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if weather or other factors affect the schedule. The important thing is stopping the water intrusion as quickly as possible.
Insurance coverage for chimney leaks depends on what caused the damage and your specific policy. If the leak resulted from sudden damage like storm damage or a fallen tree, many policies will cover repairs. However, leaks caused by normal wear and tear, poor maintenance, or gradual deterioration are typically not covered. The key is documenting everything properly. We can provide detailed reports of what we find, including photos and explanations of whether damage appears sudden or gradual. This documentation helps when filing claims and can make the difference in getting coverage. Some insurance companies require regular chimney inspections to maintain coverage, especially for older homes. We can provide the documentation you need for insurance purposes and help you understand what maintenance is required to keep your policy valid. It’s worth checking with your agent about your specific coverage and requirements.
Regular inspections are your best defense against costly chimney leaks. We recommend annual inspections, especially before winter when you’ll be using your fireplace most. During these inspections, we check flashing, crowns, caps, and masonry for early signs of wear before they become leak sources. Waterproofing your chimney every 3-5 years provides additional protection against Bristol County’s coastal moisture. We use professional-grade sealants that repel water while still allowing your chimney to breathe and vent properly. This is especially important here where salt air accelerates deterioration. Keep your gutters clean and ensure proper drainage around your home’s foundation. Poor drainage can cause water to back up against your chimney, accelerating damage. Also, address any masonry cracks promptly – small cracks become big problems quickly when water freezes and expands during our New England winters. Prevention costs a fraction of what major repairs run.
