Chimney Leak Repair in Portland & Southwest Washington
Portland rain finds every weakness. We track the leak to its source — flashing, crown, cap or masonry — and fix it for good.
Straightforward service, fully documented
How we track down a leak
- Full water-path inspection: cap, crown, flashing, masonry
- Photo documentation of the entry point
- Flashing repair or replacement
- Crown sealing or rebuild
- Masonry waterproofing with breathable sealer
- Verification that the fix actually stopped the water
A leak almost never comes from where the stain shows. Finding the true source is the job.
Three simple steps
Dripping in the firebox, ceiling stains, musty smell — each points somewhere different.
Systematic inspection from the cap down. You get photos of the actual entry point.
We repair the source — not just the symptom — and back it with our workmanship.

YELP REVIEW · GAS FIREPLACEFrequently asked questions
Why does my chimney only leak in heavy rain?
Wind-driven rain finds gaps that light rain misses — typically at the flashing or a hairline crown crack. That's very common in the Pacific Northwest.
Can I just seal the whole chimney?
Sealing over the real problem traps moisture inside the masonry and makes it worse. Find the source first, fix it, then waterproof properly.
How fast can you come out?
We can usually get a technician out quickly — call (503) 490-7724.
Is a leak an emergency?
Active water intrusion damages framing and drywall fast. Don't wait for the next storm.
