Section: Chimney Repairs

At Village Chimney, we provide full-service chimney repairs for homeowners across Suffolk County.
With 27+ years of licensed and insured experience, we handle everything from small mortar cracks to full chimney rebuilds, ensuring your chimney stays safe, efficient, and weather-tight.

Whether your chimney is leaking, crumbling, leaning, or showing signs of age, we offer reliable, affordable, long-lasting repairs.


🧱 Common Chimney Repairs We Provide

We service all types of chimney structures — brick, block, stone, or stainless-steel venting systems.

✔ Brick & Masonry Repair

  • Rebuild damaged or loose brickwork
  • Replace cracked or spalling bricks
  • Correct leaning or shifting chimneys
  • Restore structural integrity

Damaged bricks allow moisture to penetrate, leading to interior leaks and costly structural damage. We match mortar and brick color to blend repairs seamlessly with your existing chimney.


✔ Mortar Repointing (Tuckpointing)

  • Fill gaps where mortar has deteriorated
  • Seal the chimney structure
  • Prevent water intrusion
  • Improve the appearance of old brick

When mortar becomes soft or crumbly, it must be replaced to stop further decay. Repointing is one of the most effective ways to extend your chimney’s lifespan.


✔ Chimney Crown Repair

The crown (top cement layer) protects the entire chimney structure.
We repair or rebuild crowns that are:

  • Cracked
  • Flaking
  • Allowing water to enter
  • Missing or improperly sloped

A failing crown is one of the top causes of chimney leaks.


✔ Chimney Waterproofing

  • Prevent leaks
  • Stop brick saturation
  • Extend the life of masonry
  • Freeze-thaw protection

We apply a breathable, professional-grade waterproofing sealer that protects without trapping moisture inside the bricks.


✔ Chimney Flashing Repair

The flashing is what seals the joint where the chimney meets the roof.

We repair:

  • Rusted or damaged flashing
  • Incorrect installations
  • Water stains or leaks near the fireplace
  • Roof-to-chimney joint failures

See our full page: Chimney Leak & Flashing Repair for more.


✔ Chimney Liner Repair or Replacement

A cracked or damaged liner is a major safety hazard.

We inspect and repair:

  • Clay tile liners
  • Stainless steel liners
  • Insert stove liners
  • Fireplace venting

Signs you may need liner work:

  • Flaking or broken tile pieces
  • Smoke backing into the house
  • Strong odors
  • Heavy creosote formation

See our full page: Chimney Liners for details.


✔ Chimney Cap Installation & Repair

A damaged or missing cap can cause:

  • Rain entering the chimney
  • Animal infestations
  • Sparks igniting the roof
  • Moisture damage
  • Faster creosote buildup

We install stainless steel chimney caps that last decades and resist rust.


🔥 Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair

  • Cracked or missing bricks
  • Crumbling mortar
  • White stains (efflorescence)
  • Water stains on ceilings or walls
  • Fireplace smells smoky or musty
  • Loose bricks or leaning structure
  • Moisture pooling in the firebox
  • Debris falling into the fireplace

If you notice any of these, repairs should be made before the issue worsens.
