Chimney leak repair in St. Louis
When water shows up near a chimney, the chimney is usually the way in. We find which of its parts is letting water through, and we fix that part.

Where chimneys leak
- The open top — a cover keeps rain, animals and debris out
- The crown — small cracks freeze, thaw and grow until water walks in
- The flashing — the seal between brick and roof, and the first thing to age
- The brick itself — masonry that drinks water in every rain
- Condensation inside the flue soaking the brick from within

Roof and chimney leak information
Questions we get
- The ceiling stain is near the chimney — is it the roof or the chimney?
- Either, and guessing is expensive. Flashing, crown and covering each fail differently; we check all of them before anything is priced.
- Is a small crack in the crown worth fixing?
- Yes. Water freezes and thaws in it all winter, so every big crack started as a small one that got ignored.
