Leaking Chimneys? We Have the Solution!
Protect Your Home from Costly Water Damage with Expert Chimney Leak Repairs
A leaky chimney isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a serious problem that can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and expensive repairs if left untreated. At LKN Chimney Sweep, we specialize in diagnosing and permanently fixing chimney leaks, including the often-overlooked chimney shoulder, which is a common source of water penetration.
We don’t just patch leaks—we eliminate them at the source, ensuring long-term protection for your home.
Common Signs of a Leaky Chimney
Not sure if your chimney has a leak? Look out for these warning signs:
✔ Water stains on walls or ceilings near your fireplace
✔ Damp or musty smell coming from your chimney
✔ White stains (efflorescence) on the chimney exterior
✔ Dripping water inside your fireplace
✔ Cracked or deteriorating chimney masonry
✔ Rust forming on the damper or fireplace doors
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait! Water damage gets worse over time and can lead to costly repairs if ignored.
Our Chimney Leak Repair Solutions
At LKN Chimney Sweep, we take a comprehensive approach to chimney leak repairs—fixing both obvious and hidden water entry points.
Chimney Shoulder Repairs – The Overlooked Leak Source
One of the most common yet ignored areas for chimney leaks is the chimney shoulder—the sloped section where the chimney narrows as it meets the roofline. Improper waterproofing or deteriorating mortar in this area can allow water to seep into the masonry, causing hidden damage.
✅ We repair, seal, and waterproof chimney shoulders to prevent future leaks and protect your chimney’s structure.
Chimney Crown Repair & Rebuilding
The chimney crown (the top cement layer) plays a crucial role in keeping water out. If it's cracked, crumbling, or poorly constructed, it can allow water to penetrate your chimney.
✅ We repair or rebuild chimney crowns using high-quality, weather-resistant materials for maximum durability.
Chimney Flashing Repair & Replacement
Flashing is the metal seal where the chimney meets the roof. If it’s loose, rusted, or missing, water can seep into your home, causing ceiling stains, rotting wood, and mold issues.
✅ We repair or replace flashing with high-quality materials, ensuring a tight, waterproof seal between your chimney and roof.
Chimney Waterproofing – Ultimate Leak Prevention
Brick and mortar absorb water like a sponge, leading to cracks, deterioration, and freeze-thaw damage.
✅ We apply a professional-grade waterproofing sealant to protect your chimney from moisture while allowing it to breathe—preventing leaks for years to come.
Chimney Cap Installation – The First Line of Defense
A missing or damaged chimney cap is one of the easiest ways for water to enter your chimney.
✅ We install high-quality stainless steel or copper chimney caps that block rain, snow, and debris—keeping your chimney dry and problem-free.
