Chimney repair that keeps the rain outside

Chimney repair in Tacoma, WA usually starts with loose brick, mortar falling out of the joints or a water stain on the ceiling beside the chimney. We fix those so the chimney is sound again, and I'll show you the crown and flashing too, because leaks often start up there.

The price mostly depends on how much brick has to come down and go back up, what shape the crown is in and how steep your roof is. The schedule usually waits on dry weather. We get the bricks, mortar and crown solid before there's any talk of a new liner, because one liner maker's instructions say a chimney that isn't structurally sound shouldn't be relined.

About us

What a chimney repair can include

Get a quote
  1. Reset loose brick

    When bricks are cracked, loose or missing, we pull them, match what's there and lay them back in, the same way we handle brick repair on walls.

  2. Repoint the joints

    If the bricks are still sound but the mortar is sandy or gone, tuckpointing cuts out the old joints and packs in fresh mortar that matches.

  3. Patch or rebuild the crown

    A crown with hairline cracks can often be patched. One that's broken through or sloping the wrong way usually needs rebuilding so water runs off.

  4. Replace the flashing

    New flashing seals the chimney at the roof line. A brick industry guide warns against galvanized steel and aluminum, so your quote names the metal we plan to use.
