Chimney Repair Estimate

At Dave's Chimney Service, we offer free, no-obligation repair estimates to help you understand the scope and cost of necessary chimney repairs. A chimney repair estimate focuses on the exterior of your chimney, identifying visible issues such as leaks, damaged bricks, cracked mortar, chimney crown deterioration, or flashing problems.

If you're experiencing a chimney leak, loose bricks, masonry stains, or water damage, our experts will assess the outside structure and provide a clear, transparent quote tailored to your needs. However, if you require a full internal evaluation for hidden issues like flue blockages or liner damage, a Chimney Inspection (ChimScan®) may be needed.

Whether you need a repair, inspection, or maintenance, we’re here to help. Schedule your free chimney repair estimate today and ensure your chimney is structurally sound and ready for use!

Common Chimney Problems

A fireplace is often the heart of a home, providing warmth and comfort, especially during chilly days.

It’s an essential part of your home, offering relaxation and ambiance. However, because it works quietly in the background, its maintenance is often overlooked—until something goes wrong.

Protect Your Home with a Chimney Estimate
Over time, exposure to the elements can cause wear and tear on your chimney. Small issues can lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed, affecting its performance and durability. A professional chimney estimate helps identify exterior concerns early, ensuring your chimney remains in excellent condition.

Common Chimney Issues We Identify:
Cracked Chimney Crowns
– A damaged crown can allow water to seep in, leading to further deterioration.
Soot & Creosote Buildup – Excess buildup can affect chimney function and contribute to performance issues.
Masonry Stains – Discoloration often indicates moisture problems, mold growth, or soot accumulation.
Loose or Damaged Masonry – Bricks and stones can loosen over time, impacting the chimney’s structure.
Minor Cracks in Brick Mortar Joints – Small cracks can expand, allowing moisture penetration and further decay.
Loose or Missing Mortar – Mortar deterioration can weaken the chimney’s stability and may require tuckpointing.
Water Damage to Masonry – Excess moisture can cause long-term structural issues and interior leaks.

Our Inspection Process:
Our experienced technicians conduct a thorough external chimney evaluation, assessing:
Brickwork & Masonry for cracks, missing mortar, and structural concerns
Chimney Crown & Cap to prevent water intrusion and blockages
Flashing & Waterproofing to ensure a secure, leak-free seal. If we identify any issues, we provide detailed recommendations for necessary repairs to maintain your chimney’s efficiency and longevity.

Had my pellet stove and chimney cleaned this morning. The 2 service men showed up on time, cleaned the stove and did chimney work. Once completed, they explained the issues they found, showing pictures and explaining how it happened. 2 options were available and it was explained how each would work. I certainly appreciated the explanation and the options. I would definitely recommend their service !!
