About this service

Chimney repair services cover a wide range of tasks, including masonry repair, flue relining, and waterproofing. You need these services when you observe signs of decay like falling mortar, smoke leaking into your home, or significant cracks in the exterior masonry. Regular checkups help identify these issues before they become safety hazards. Our goal is to ensure your chimney is structurally sound and operating safely for your household throughout the burning season.

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?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Sometimes chimney repair is covered by homeowners insurance, especially if the damage resulted from a sudden and accidental event like a lightning strike or wind damage. However, wear and tear from age or lack of maintenance usually isn't. It's always best to check your policy and call us for a professional assessment.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3-to-10 rule is a guideline for chimney height, stating the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof it passes through, and at least 10 feet from the nearest portion of the building. This helps ensure proper draft and prevents smoke from being drawn back into the house in Milwaukee.

Can a handyman repair a chimney?

While a handyman might handle minor exterior brickwork, chimney repair often requires specialized knowledge of masonry, venting, and safety codes. For critical components like the flue liner or structural integrity, it's best to rely on experienced chimney professionals. They have the specific skills needed for safe and effective chimney repairs.
