Professional chimney repair that protects your South Boston home from water damage, structural issues, and safety hazards.
When your chimney works right, you stop worrying about water stains on your ceiling. You’re not dealing with smoke backing up into your living room or wondering if that crack in the brick is going to turn into a major structural problem.
A properly repaired chimney protects your home’s foundation from water damage. It keeps your heating system running efficiently, which means lower energy bills. Most importantly, it eliminates the safety risks that come with damaged flue liners or compromised structural integrity.
You get back to using your fireplace without second-guessing whether it’s safe. Your home value stays protected, and you avoid those emergency repair calls that always seem to happen at the worst possible time.
We’ve been working on South Boston’s historic homes for years. We understand how these century-old chimneys were built and what they need to keep working safely.
Most of the chimney problems we see come from the same issues – freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar joints, water infiltration that weakens the structure, and normal settling that creates gaps where they shouldn’t be. We’ve repaired chimneys on triple-deckers, row houses, and single-family homes throughout the neighborhood.
Our team knows the difference between a quick patch job and a repair that actually lasts. We’re licensed, insured, and we do the work right the first time.
First, we inspect the entire chimney structure from top to bottom. We’re looking for cracks, loose mortar, damaged flue liners, and any signs of water infiltration. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain what needs to be fixed versus what can wait.
Next, we handle the structural repairs. This might mean repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks, or rebuilding sections of the chimney crown. If there’s a liner issue, we address that too. We work from the inside out to make sure everything is structurally sound.
Finally, we waterproof and seal everything properly. The goal is to keep water out while allowing the chimney to breathe naturally. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we did and what to watch for going forward.

Our chimney repair service covers everything from minor mortar touch-ups to complete structural rebuilds. We handle brick replacement, chimney repointing, crown repairs, and flue liner installation. If your chimney is leaking, we’ll find where the water is getting in and fix it permanently.
We also repair fireplace components – damaged dampers, cracked fireboxes, and deteriorated smoke chambers. Many South Boston homes have original fireplace systems that need specialized attention to work safely with modern heating demands.
Every repair includes a thorough cleaning and inspection of the entire system. We make sure your chimney draft is working properly and that all safety components are functioning as they should. You’ll know exactly what condition your chimney is in when we’re done.
