Chimney Repair in Johns Creek, GA

Chimneys are leak magnets. They punch holes through otherwise watertight roofs, creating multiple failure points — flashing at the base, cap on top, cement crown, mortar between bricks. Any of these can let water in.

Where Problems Start

Flashing failure leads the list by a wide margin. That metal barrier between chimney and roof endures constant weather assault. Eventually it pulls away, rusts through, or its sealant fails. This is where most chimney leaks originate.

Missing or damaged caps. The metal cap covering your flue keeps rain, debris, and animals out. Rust through, blow off, or never have one — water drops straight down.

Cracked crowns. That cement slope around the flue deteriorates over time. Water infiltrates cracks, freezes, expands, creates bigger cracks. Eventually water's running inside the chimney structure itself.

Deteriorating mortar. Joints between chimney bricks break down over decades. When mortar weakens enough, water penetrates directly through.

What We Handle

We're roofers, so we focus on roofing-adjacent chimney work:

• Complete flashing replacement with proper step and counter flashing
• Chimney cap installation and replacement
• Crown sealing and minor repairs
• Cricket installation behind wide chimneys (that peaked diverter)

If you've got serious masonry issues — crumbling bricks, structural settling, major repointing needed — you need a mason, and we'll say so. We stick to what we're good at.
