A sound chimney, from firebox to cap.
Cracked mortar, loose brick, leaning stacks and leaks around the chimney, found and repaired from the roofline up so the chimney stays solid and dry.
- Inspection: Brick, mortar, crown, cap, flashing and flue
- Common repairs: Repointing, brick replacement, crown repair
- Access: Ladders, roof jacks or scaffolding
What it is, and why it matters.
A chimney lives a hard life. It stands taller than the rest of the house, soaks up rain from every side and freezes and thaws all winter, so its mortar joints, crown and flashing wear out sooner than almost any other part of the masonry.
We inspect and repair chimneys for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. The visit covers the brick, the mortar, the crown, the cap, the flashing and the flue, and the repair plan fixes the cause of the damage as well as the damage itself.
Four things done right.
The whole stack looked at
We check every part from the firebox to the cap, not just the spot that leaks.
Mortar that fits
Joints are repointed with a mortar matched to the brick and the chimney's age.
Water kept out
Crown, cap and flashing are checked and repaired so rain stays outside.
Safe, tidy work
Roof and yard are protected and cleaned when the work is done.

Chimney Repair: common questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
Look for crumbling mortar, gaps, loose or flaking brick, white staining, a crown with cracks and water stains on the ceiling or walls near the chimney. A close look from the roof tells the real story.
Should a chimney be repaired or rebuilt?
Small problems are usually repaired. If the brick is crumbling through the whole stack or the chimney is leaning, rebuilding from the roofline may be the better value. We explain both options.
How do I get a price for chimney repair?
