When to Call for Chimney Leak Repair
Active Interior Stains
Brown water rings around the chimney, peeling paint, or attic dampness near the stack.
After Heavy Wind/Rain
Wind‑driven rain exposes loose step flashing and open counter‑flashings against brick.
Freeze–Thaw Damage
Cracked crowns and mortar joints allow water entry that worsens every winter.
Chimney Leak Repair Toronto — Common Causes
Most leaks begin at detailing—not the shingles. Our inspection focuses on the chimney stack, the roof junction, and nearby walls to pinpoint the failure before we repair.
- Loose or short step flashing
- Open counter‑flashing cut too shallow
- Cracked crown/cap or missing drip edges
- Deteriorated mortar joints and brick faces
- No cricket/saddle on the uphill side

Chimney Repairs Are Residential Roofing Work
Most chimney leaks start where the roof meets the brick, so they’re best handled by a residential roofing crew. The fix is rarely “just masonry.” We check and correct step flashing, counter‑flashing cuts, kick‑outs, sealants, and the chimney crown so water can’t track behind the metal or into the wall. On Chimney Leak Repair Toronto jobs, our techs work from the roof with proper access and safety, then coordinate tuck‑pointing or crown patching as needed. This approach stops the leak at its source and protects shingles, sheathing and interior finishes. If a cricket or saddle is missing on the uphill side, we’ll recommend one to keep water from pooling in the first place.
