- Ill-fitted or damaged chimney cap, chase cover, or chimney flashing
- Sluggish fires that don’t burn aggressively
- Cracks in the concrete chimney crown
- Damper that’s noisy and hard to operate

Types of Chimney Repairs
No matter what’s wrong with your chimney, our experienced technicians know how to repair it.
Brick Replacement and Tuckpointing
We replace damaged bricks and add new mortar between them, a process called tuckpointing.
Chimney Rebuilding
Severely damaged chimneys usually need to be rebuilt. We can partially or fully rebuild your East Orange, NJ, chimney so that it’s once again strong and beautiful.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
We repair cracks in concrete chimney crowns. When major damage exists, we can rebuild the entire crown.
Chimney Relining and Liner Repair
Damaged chimney liners can sometimes be repaired, but a new stainless-steel liner is often the best option. For certain liner issues, we use Thermocrete for protective relining throughout the flue.
Chimney Flashing Repair and Replacement
Unseated flashing can often be reattached. Flashing that’s rusted out or severely warped should be replaced.
Chimney Cap and Chase Cover Repair and Installation
These components protect your flue and must be in good condition. We can repair or install new chimney caps and chase covers.
Chimney Waterproofing
After we’ve repaired your chimney, let us seal the masonry to keep rain and melting snow out of small cracks and help prevent future water leaks.
In addition to the above, we troubleshoot everything from odd smells and chimney noises to smoke backups and sluggish fires. We’ll find out what’s happening and perform the right chimney repairs to resolve it quickly.
