Professional Chimney Repair in Novi, MI

Your chimney is a hardworking and highly exposed feature of your Novi home. It endures Michigan’s weather from all sides, bearing the brunt of wind, rain, snow, and the relentless freeze-thaw cycle. This constant assault can lead to deterioration that creates a direct path for water to enter your home, often in hard-to-diagnose ways. A seemingly small issue with your chimney can quickly lead to significant damage to your attic, ceilings, and walls.

Protect your home from the top down by calling our experts at (734) 665-5555 for a thorough inspection.

Comprehensive Chimney Repair Solutions for Your Novi Home

We are equipped to handle the full spectrum of chimney issues, restoring the safety, integrity, and appearance of your masonry.

Expert Chimney Flashing Repair & Replacement

The metal flashing that seals the intersection between your roof and chimney is the most common failure point and the number one cause of chimney leaks. As roofing experts, this is our specialty. We can repair or completely replace your flashing system, integrating it perfectly with your shingles to create a permanent, watertight seal.

Masonry Repair & Tuckpointing

Michigan’s winters are tough on mortar. The freeze-thaw cycle causes the mortar joints between your bricks to crack and crumble, weakening the chimney’s structure and allowing water to seep in. Our professional tuckpointing service replaces this decayed mortar with a strong, new compound, restoring your chimney’s strength and weather resistance.

Chimney Crown and Cap Services

The concrete slab on top of your chimney, the crown, is essential for shedding water. We repair cracks and can rebuild deteriorated crowns to prevent water from saturating your chimney from the top down. We also install chimney caps to protect your flue from rain, debris, and animals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Problems

What are the most common signs of a chimney leak?

The most obvious signs inside your home are water stains on the ceiling or walls near the fireplace. You might also notice peeling paint, a musty smell after it rains, or hear dripping sounds. On the outside, look for crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, or a cracked chimney crown.

What is tuckpointing and why is it necessary?

Tuckpointing is the process of removing old, failed mortar from between the bricks of a chimney and replacing it with new, durable mortar. It is absolutely necessary when the old mortar has become soft or is cracking and falling out, as this restores the structural integrity of the chimney and prevents water from penetrating the masonry.

Can I just use caulk or roof tar to fix a leak around my chimney?

We strongly advise against this. While it may seem like a quick fix, applying a surface sealant like caulk or tar is a temporary patch that often fails quickly. Worse, it can trap moisture underneath, accelerating the deterioration of the underlying materials and leading to a much more expensive repair down the road. A professional repair addresses the root cause of the problem.
