There are many reasons why leaks occur in chimneys. If your chimney develops a leak, then it can be a major cause of concern because of rain rot problems, as well as corrosion. Melting snow and heavy rains can provide a real challenge to all chimney types, creating chimney leaks.

Crown Coat is another Midtown product that we use to help seal chimney crowns at the top!



Sometimes rain will fall down the inside of an open top chimney falling into the fire, making a sizzling noise. Sometimes the water will find a pathway into a residence from the roof. Rain and melting snow are harsh elements on a masonry structure that is exposed to freezing temperatures at night followed by warmer above-freezing temperatures during the day. Chimney leaks are caused by loose flashing, dammed up water behind a chimney, and rain water being absorbed into masonry bricks. Water coming into the residence causes problems from small nuisances to major damage. Sometimes the repairs are expensive! As in many things in life, an ounce of prevention can worth a pound of cure.

Here is a video on how we use Chimney Saver to help fix leaky chimneys!

Possible Reasons for Leaky Chimneys

There are many reasons for a chimney leaks. Water can penetrate stone and brick and come into the structure causing wood to rot and create costly repairs. These chimney leaks can be solved by applying a simple superficial water repellent to the outside of the chimney. We can reduce or eliminate the water intrusion problem. Locating chimney leaks is not an easy task. Quite often the leaks become evident only after the damage has been done. Leaks can occur almost anywhere on the chimney at almost any time. The top of the chimney is a mortared area known as the crown or splay; it is vulnerable to leaks. If this part cracks or comes loose, rainwater can enter into the fireplace. You may not notice the leaks until you find water in the hearth or even elsewhere in your home if the water becomes diverted due to some obstacles. We Fix Leaky Chimneys Nationwide.

Chimney Leaks are hard to Find- unless you are on the roof!

You must remember that masonry chimneys are constructed with various materials such as brick, steel, mortar, tile, and cast iron- and at some point they must penetrate or touch your roofline. All of these are highly vulnerable to water damage and the risks increase in areas which see regular rain or cold weather. If you live in such an area you can choose to have your chimney waterproofed with the appropriate waterproofing agent. There is a wide range of water proofing and water resistant materials available on the market and you will need to consult a professional about the product best suited to your needs. If you think waterproofing is expensive, think again. It is bound to be much cheaper than the costs you will face when replacing expensive masonry, parts of your ceiling, dealing with mold growth, and so on, damaged by water leaks.

ExcellentMidtown Chimney Sweeps4.8★★★★★ Based on 2261 reviews fromSee all reviews review us onKarina MartensKarina Martens ★★★★★ My family has a cabin above Boulder. When we came into ownership of the cabin we discovered that the stove and stove installation/stovepipe were very out of code. I looked around for a company to replace and install a new woodstove and decided to go with Midtown Chimney Fireplace. I sent them pictures of my cabin which has a really steep roof and they built an estimate and sent it to me by email. The estimate was comprehensive and easy to understand and when I had a question about it I was able to make a phone call and talk to a human on the other end of the line. I clicked the red approve quote button, paid the deposit, and then they scheduled the work. First they staged the product a few days in advance and then came right on time to do the installation work. Our home was as clean and in as good a shape after they installed the new stove as before.When the new stove was installed there was a small leak near their work area which they addressed promptly. There were no problems with the stove, installation and outside air kit that was necessary to comply with local codes. We love the way it looks!One year later we still couldn't be happier. Thanks Midtown Chimney Services!Response from the ownerThank you Karina, all the best on the new roof.

My husband spoke with the owner Mike, and he took care of us right away. They scheduled Brandon, a seasoned technician out to complete the job. He was very professional, very knowledgeable and made sure that our chimney was in great shape. He really put my mind at ease by going up on our very steep roof to do a visual inspection from above. Very thorough, and he was so courteous and conscientious. I highly recommend Midtown Chimney Fireplace Store. And I really appreciate they are family owned since 1979!Response from the ownerThank you so much Adrienne! We appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience with us!

Please take care and we look forward to seeing you again next year! Thank you!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩 Dino BonominiDino Bonomini ★★★★★ Eric was awesome! We had a sweep and an inspection done because we were getting water in our basement and suspected it was coming in from the roof/chimney because the water was coming out from our chimney flue ash clean out in our basement. Eric took me up on our roof with him and he showed me all the possible places where water could be getting in. Ultimately we did a water test where Eric took a hose up on the roof and sprayed the chimney in different spots while I kept an eye out downstairs for the water. We found the HVAC exhaust did not have silicone around the top of the chimney cap and that's where the water was coming in. Eric had some silicone in his van and was able to fix the issue for us. I did another water test a couple days later and no water!!! Very grateful we found the issue!Eric also showed us the entire process of him inspecting our chimney and pointing out the potential dangers if we were to use our chimney using his camera. He also showed us how to properly start our gas fireplace. We do not plan to use it due to the dangers he found, but it was really good to know all of that.We had great conversations with Eric. He was extremely knowledgeable and he was very respectful of our home. I am only recommending Eric and Midtown Chimney Sweeps for anyone needing help with their chimney!Response from the ownerWow, thank you so much Dino for sharing this awesome experience with Eric! He truly is a rockstar!! We will be sure to share this with him! Thank you so much, we value your business and your recommendation, it means a lot!
