FAQs – Chimney Services in Vancouver
What causes chimney leaks in Vancouver?
The three most common causes of chimney leaks are a cracked or poorly designed chimney crown that allows water to penetrate the top, deteriorated mortar joints that absorb water, and—most frequently—failed or improperly installed flashing at the base where the chimney meets the roof.
Do you repair flashing and caps?
Yes, absolutely. The chimney cap (or crown) and the flashing are the two most critical components for keeping your chimney waterproof. Repairing and properly sealing these areas is a core part of our service.
Can you replace old brick chimneys?
Yes. We can perform partial or full chimney rebuilds. If your chimney is structurally compromised, we can safely dismantle it and rebuild it to meet modern safety codes while matching your home's original aesthetic.
Is a chimney inspection included?
Yes. Every chimney repair or rebuild project begins with a thorough inspection. We need to assess the condition of the masonry, mortar, crown, flashing, and liner to provide an accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive quote.
