About this service

The crown is the concrete slab at the top of the chimney that directs water away from the flue. Over time, freezing and thawing cycles cause it to crack, which allows water to seep into the brickwork. Repair companies specialize in applying flexible, waterproof sealants or pouring a new crown to stop leaks. This is vital for preventing expensive water damage to the interior of the chimney stack. It is a common maintenance task for older homes.

Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

Frequently asked in Milwaukee

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

The cost to repair a chimney in Milwaukee can vary based on the type of damage and materials needed. Factors like crown repair, brickwork, or flue liner issues all play a role. Getting a specific quote from a local pro is the best way to know for sure what your repair will cost.

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Typically, homeowners insurance in Milwaukee might cover chimney damage if it's caused by a sudden, accidental event like a fire or storm. Pre-existing issues or normal wear and tear usually aren't covered. It's always best to check your specific policy details or ask the pros when you get your estimate.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule is a general guideline for chimney height. It suggests the chimney should be at least 3 feet taller than the highest point of your roof and at least 2 feet taller than anything within 10 feet of it. This helps ensure proper drafting and safety.

Can a handyman repair a chimney?

While a handyman might handle very minor cosmetic fixes, chimney repair often requires specialized knowledge and skills. Pros who focus on chimney work understand the structural integrity, fire safety codes, and ventilation requirements. It's safer to use a specialist for most chimney jobs.
