Professional chimney leak repairs that eliminate dangerous water damage and save thousands in future costs.
When your chimney leak is properly fixed, you stop worrying about water stains on your walls, mold growing in hidden spaces, or structural damage eating away at your home’s foundation. Your fireplace works safely again without the risk of carbon monoxide leaks or dangerous gas buildup.
You’re not dealing with emergency calls to restoration companies or watching repair bills spiral out of control. Instead, you have a structurally sound chimney that handles Massachusetts weather without letting a drop of water where it doesn’t belong.
Most importantly, you can use your fireplace with confidence, knowing your family is protected from both water damage and safety hazards that come with faulty chimney systems.
We’ve been handling chimney repairs throughout the Boston area for over three decades. Academy Masonry is a family-owned masonry contractor that understands exactly what Allston’s older homes need to stay protected from water damage.
We’ve seen every type of chimney problem these historic properties can develop. From freeze-thaw damage that’s common in Massachusetts to flashing failures that let water pour into your walls, we know how to diagnose the real problem and fix it permanently.
Our team is fully licensed and insured, and we follow all Massachusetts building codes. We’re not the cheapest option in town, but we’re the one that fixes problems correctly the first time so you’re not calling someone else next year.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system to identify every source of water entry, not just the obvious leak you’re seeing. Many contractors miss secondary problems that cause repairs to fail within a few seasons.
Next, we explain exactly what’s causing your leak and what needs to be repaired. You’ll understand the scope of work before we start, with transparent pricing and no surprise costs added later.
Then we complete the masonry work using proper materials designed for New England weather. We address root causes like damaged flashing, cracked crowns, deteriorated mortar joints, or structural issues that let water penetrate your chimney system. When we’re finished, your chimney is waterproof and ready to handle whatever Massachusetts weather throws at it.
Ready to get started?
Our chimney leak repairs address every component that can fail and let water into your home. We repair or replace damaged flashing where your roof meets the chimney, rebuild cracked chimney crowns that let water pool and penetrate, and repoint deteriorated mortar joints that create entry points for moisture.
We also handle structural repairs like spalling bricks, damaged fireboxes, and chimney liner issues that compromise your system’s integrity. In Allston’s older homes, we often find multiple problems that need attention to create a truly waterproof system.
Every repair comes with quality materials specifically chosen for Massachusetts weather conditions. We use modern techniques combined with traditional masonry skills to ensure repairs last through freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and the harsh conditions that damage inferior work. You get a comprehensive solution that protects your investment and keeps your family safe.
