Professional Chimney Repair Services

Stop Leaks. Fix Cracks. Protect Your Investment.

Restore Structural Integrity

Is Your Chimney Crumbling or Leaking?

A damaged chimney isn't just an eyesore; it's a threat to your entire home. Water is the number one enemy of masonry. When bricks crack, mortar joints fail, or the concrete crown deteriorates, water seeps into the structure. This freeze-thaw cycle expands cracks, leading to spalling bricks, rusted dampers, and eventually, costly water damage inside your walls and attic.

Rivo Clean offers comprehensive chimney repair and restoration services for homeowners within a 60-mile radius. From installing custom stainless steel caps to rebuilding damaged crowns and waterproofing porous brick, we stop the decay in its tracks.

Don't wait for a collapse or a ceiling leak. Our skilled technicians can assess the damage and provide a long-lasting solution to keep your home dry and safe.

Chimney repair tools and equipment

Our Repair Capabilities

We use industrial-grade materials to ensure repairs withstand the harshest weather.

Crown Repair

The concrete slab at the top of your chimney often cracks. We use a flexible, waterproof sealant (CrownSeal) that bridges cracks and prevents water intrusion.

Chimney Caps

We install durable stainless steel or copper caps. A cap creates an "umbrella" over the flue, keeping out rain, snow, birds, raccoons, and debris.

Waterproofing

Bricks are like sponges. We apply a breathable, vapor-permeable water repellent that stops water from entering while allowing internal moisture to escape.

The Restoration Process

We assess the root cause, not just the symptom.

Visual Inspection

We start with a thorough exterior and interior exam (often using drone photography for difficult roofs) to document the extent of the damage.

Surface Prep

Applying products to dirty bricks is useless. We power wash or grind down loose mortar to create a solid surface for adhesion.

Final Seal

Whether we are tuckpointing mortar joints or applying a flashing seal, we ensure the finish is watertight and aesthetically pleasing.

Why Fix It Now?

Chimney exterior view
  • Stop the Leak: Small cracks become gaping holes after just one winter of freezing and thawing.
  • Keep Animals Out: A missing cap is an open invitation for squirrels, raccoons, and birds to nest in your home.
  • Prevent Fires: Cracks in the flue liner allow heat to transfer to the wood framing of your house.
  • Increase Home Value: A well-maintained chimney is a key inspection point when selling a home.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's hard to see from the ground. Common signs include rust forming on the damper, water stains on the firebox walls, or pieces of brick/concrete falling into the fireplace. We recommend an annual inspection.
Spalling is when the face of a brick pops off or crumbles. This happens when water absorbs into the brick, freezes, and expands. It indicates your chimney needs waterproofing immediately.
A cap is the most inexpensive way to prevent expensive water damage. It also prevents animals from entering (which can bring lice and disease) and stops sparks from landing on your roof.
We make every effort to match existing masonry. While an exact match for 50-year-old brick is difficult, we use industry resources to find the closest possible match in color and texture.
Yes. Flashings (where the chimney meets the roof) are a common leak point. We use "FlashSeal," a specialized product that creates a flexible waterproof membrane over the flashing.
