Atlanta's Chimney Repair Experts
Your chimney passes through the roof, and every point where it meets the shingles is a place where water can get in. When the flashing pulls away, the cricket behind the chimney is missing or undersized, or the cap goes bad, water works its way into the roof deck around the chimney. That is where most chimney leaks start.
Most companies patch the visible spot and leave. If the flashing where the chimney meets the roof is the real source, that patch fails again. We inspect the full roofline before recommending any professional chimney repair.

Chimney Problems We Fix
Chimney Flashing
Flashing is the metal that seals the joint where the chimney meets the roof, and it is the most common source of a chimney leak. When it loosens, lifts, or was installed poorly, water runs behind it and into the roof deck, a common problem on older homes. Flashing repair is often the fix when a chimney keeps leaking after other work. This is where we start on almost every chimney leak.
Chimney Crickets
A chimney cricket, also called a saddle, is a small peaked structure built on the up-roof side of the chimney. It splits water and debris and sends them around the chimney instead of letting them pool against the back of it. Wide chimneys need one. When a cricket is missing or undersized, water collects behind the chimney and works into the roof, which is one of the leaks people miss most often.
Chimney Leaks and Roof Damage
Left alone, a chimney leak does not stay at the chimney. Water runs down the flashing or behind the siding, soaks into the roof deck, and shows up as stains on the ceiling. The longer it runs, the farther the rot spreads along the framing. We trace the leak to its source and repair the roof damage it caused, not just the spot you can see.
Chimney Chase Siding and Corner Boards
On a framed chimney chase, the siding runs across the sides, and the corner boards run up the corners. Both take the weather, and the corner boards rot out first. Once they go, water gets behind the siding and into the framing. We replace rotted siding and corner boards so the chase sheds water again.

Our Chimney Repair Process
Step 1: Inspect the Chimney and Roofline
A certified technician checks the flashing, cricket, cap, and chase siding along with the roof around the chimney. This chimney inspection finds the real leak point before any repair begins.
Step 2: Find the Source
We trace the water path through the flashing, the cricket area, the cap, and the siding. Whether the source is failed flashing, a missing cricket, or rotted corner boards, we find the root cause instead of guessing.
Step 3: Repair
We fix what is letting water in. That means resealing or replacing flashing, building or correcting the cricket, fitting a new cap, and replacing rotted siding and corner boards. We match the repair to the leak.
Step 4: Walkthrough and Warranty
We check the flashing, roof deck, and ceiling for damage the leak caused. If we find rot or water damage, we repair it before we finish. We confirm the flashing seal, the cricket, the cap fit, and the siding, and make sure water moves off the chimney and away from the roof.
Why Your Chimney and Roof Should Be Inspected Together
When a chimney leaks, the damage rarely stays at the chimney. Water gets in through the flashing, a missing cricket, a bad cap, or rotted siding, then soaks into the roof deck and rots the framing. From there, it travels along the rafters and causes structural damage and ceiling stains far from where it started. An annual chimney inspection catches these leak points before they become costly damage.
We see this across metro Atlanta all the time. A homeowner calls about a small chimney leak, and we find failed flashing, a missing cricket, and a rotted roof deck on that same side. Patching one spot would not have solved it. If roof leak repair is needed, we handle it in the same visit. Atlanta’s humid climate keeps moisture in the joint year-round, so chimney repair Atlanta homeowners can count on means fixing the leak point and the roof damage together. Our chimney repair service handles the flashing, cricket, cap, and chase siding, so small chimney issues do not turn into chimney damage across the roofline.

Chimney Repair FAQs
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
If water stains show up near the chimney, the flashing is lifting, the cap is gone, or the chase siding is rotting, the chimney needs attention. If the leak keeps coming back after past repairs, the real source was probably missed, often the flashing or a missing cricket.
Can a damaged chimney cause roof or ceiling water damage?
Yes. When the flashing fails or the cricket is missing, water runs into the roof deck around the chimney. Over time that moisture causes rot and ceiling stains that spread well past the chimney.
Why does my chimney leak even after a repair?
The patch probably missed the real source. The flashing may be the problem, or the chimney may be missing a cricket, or the chase siding may be letting water in. A full roofline inspection finds the cause so the fix lasts.
Do you handle chimney repair and roof leak repair at the same time?
Yes. Patching a chimney over failed flashing means the leak comes back. We repair the flashing and the roof deck first, then finish the rest of the chimney work on solid material.
Do you help with chimney damage insurance claims?
Yes. We document the damage, photograph the chimney and the surrounding roofline, and communicate directly with your insurance company throughout the process. Fill out our contact form to schedule chimney repair with the chimney company Atlanta homeowners trust.
