Professional chimney leak repairs that prevent costly water damage and protect your Waltham property from winter’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles.
When your chimney stops leaking, you stop worrying about water stains on your ceiling, rust destroying your damper, or structural damage spreading through your walls. You get back to using your fireplace without fear.
No more buckets catching drips during rainstorms. No more wondering if that water damage will turn into a major repair bill. Your chimney system works the way it should – keeping smoke and gases out while keeping water from getting in.
That’s what proper leak repair does. It gives you a chimney that protects your home instead of threatening it.
We’ve been fixing chimney leaks in Waltham and throughout the Boston area for over 30 years. We understand how this area’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy masonry and create the leak problems that frustrate homeowners every winter.
We’re not just another contractor. We’re local masonry specialists who’ve seen every type of chimney leak these older Waltham homes can develop. From historic properties near Waltham Common to newer homes in the Highlands, we know what causes leaks here and how to fix them permanently.
Our family-owned company focuses on one thing: masonry work that lasts. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind every repair with solid warranties.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system to find every source of water entry. Most leaks come from multiple points – damaged flashing, cracked crowns, missing caps, or deteriorated mortar joints. We identify them all before we start any work.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what needs to be fixed. You’ll understand the scope of work before we begin, with clear pricing and no surprises. We don’t rush you into decisions or push unnecessary services.
Then we complete the repairs using proper materials and techniques. We fix the flashing, seal the crown, replace damaged bricks, and apply professional-grade waterproofing where needed. We don’t cut corners or use temporary fixes that fail after the next storm.
When we’re finished, your chimney is structurally sound and protected against future leaks. Most repairs take 1-3 days, and we clean up completely before we leave.

Our chimney leak repairs address every common problem we see in Waltham. We repair or replace damaged flashing where your chimney meets the roof. We rebuild cracked chimney crowns that let water penetrate the structure. We install quality chimney caps to keep rain and snow out of your flue.
We also handle the masonry damage that leaks cause over time. Spalling bricks get replaced. Failed mortar joints get repointed with materials that match your existing chimney. We apply vapor-permeable waterproofing that blocks moisture while allowing your chimney to breathe properly.
Waltham’s weather is particularly hard on masonry. Those 48 inches of annual snowfall, combined with freeze-thaw cycles, create conditions that destroy chimneys faster than in many other areas. That’s why we use techniques and materials specifically chosen to withstand New England’s harsh conditions.
Every repair comes with our warranty, and we offer emergency service when you need it most.
