Chimney leak repair and waterproofing in Atlanta, GA

Water is the biggest long-term threat to a masonry chimney. Atlanta’s heavy summer storms drive rain into every crack, and once water is inside the brick it rusts dampers, stains ceilings and slowly breaks the masonry apart.

Finding the leak first

A leak near the chimney can come from the crown, the flashing, an uncapped flue, cracked mortar or the brick itself. We trace where the water is actually coming from, photograph it and fix that cause, rather than coating over the problem.

Waterproofing

Once the chimney is sound, we can apply a breathable water repellent made for masonry. It keeps rain from soaking into the brick while still letting moisture inside escape, which ordinary paints and sealers do not.

One team, start to finish

Because we do caps, crowns, flashing and masonry ourselves, we can fix whatever is causing the leak without sending you to another contractor.
