Chimney Leaking
Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney
We trace the water to its true source — crown, cap, flashing, brick or liner — and fix that, instead of guessing.
A water stain on the ceiling near the chimney almost never comes from where it looks like it does. Water can enter at the crown, sneak under the flashing, pour through a missing cap, or wick straight through porous brick — then travel several feet before it shows up inside. Across Braintree, from the older homes near the Village to the post-war neighborhoods around Five Corners, we diagnose chimney leaks properly and fix the actual entry point, so the stain doesn’t come back next storm.
Leak repair starts with diagnosis, not a tube of caulk. We inspect the whole water path — crown, cap, flashing, masonry joints and the flue — and, where needed, water-test the chimney to confirm exactly where it’s getting in. Only then do we quote the fix, whether that’s sealing or rebuilding a cracked crown, replacing failed flashing, adding a cap, repointing open joints, or waterproofing porous brick.
Because a leak often has more than one source, we show you each one on camera or in photos before any work begins. You get an itemized estimate that fixes the real problem in priority order — not an open-ended ‘we’ll keep trying’ bill.
