Cracks, leaks, crumbling bricks, smoke problems — chimney damage in Reno, NV doesn’t fix itself. The sooner it’s repaired, the safer your home and the smaller the bill. We’re here to help.
Here in Reno, our winters are cold and our fireplaces work hard. But all that use takes a toll — and chimneys don’t announce when they’re starting to fail. A small crack becomes a big leak. A little water damage becomes a crumbling structure. And smoke that used to go up the chimney starts coming back into your living room.

Whether it’s a cracked crown, a leaking flue, or bricks that have seen better days — we handle it all. And we’ll always tell you exactly what needs to be done and why, before we start anything.
We’ve been helping Reno homeowners keep their chimneys clean and safe for years. We know this city. We know the winters. And we know how important a clean, working fireplace is to your home.

We get it — chimney repair isn’t the most exciting thing to spend money on. But ignoring damage almost always means spending more money later. Here’s what’s really at stake.
Cracks in your flue liner let heat and sparks escape into the walls of your home. That's a chimney fire waiting to happen. Repairing damage now is what stops a bad situation before it starts. Your family's safety is worth it.
A small chimney leak might seem like no big deal. But water works its way into your masonry, your walls, and your ceilings quickly — especially through Reno's freeze-thaw winters. Early repairs stop small leaks from becoming big, expensive problems.
A cracked mortar joint costs much less to fix than a chimney that needs a full rebuild. Catching damage early and fixing it right away is almost always the more affordable choice. Waiting never makes it cheaper.
These are the issues we come across most often in Reno homes. Some are obvious — others are hiding until they get bad. Do any of these sound familiar?
When smoke stops going up and starts coming in, something is blocking or damaged inside your chimney. It could be a blockage, a damaged flue, or a draft problem. Either way, it needs to be fixed — for air quality and safety.
Water stains near your fireplace, rust on the damper, or a damp smell after rain are all signs moisture is getting in. This usually comes from a cracked crown, damaged flashing, or a missing chimney cap. All fixable — but don't wait.
Reno's freeze-thaw winters are rough on masonry. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and makes them bigger. Over time, bricks start to crumble and mortar falls out. Once structure is compromised, repairs become much more serious.
Your flue liner is what keeps dangerous gases and heat contained inside the chimney. Cracks let heat escape into your walls. This is a serious safety issue that needs attention right away — not something to push to next season.
If your chimney looks like it's pulling away from the house or leaning even slightly, that's a structural problem. It won't fix itself. This type of damage usually needs a partial or full rebuild — and the sooner it's done, the better.
Your cap keeps rain, leaves, birds, and critters out of your chimney. Without one — or with a broken one — all of that gets in. A simple cap replacement is one of the best investments a homeowner can make for long-term chimney health.
We handle everything — from small repairs to full chimney rebuilds. Whatever your chimney needs, we’ve done it before and we know how to do it right. Here’s the full list of what we offer.
The crown is the concrete slab on top of your chimney that protects the masonry from rain. Cracks in the crown let water pour right in. We repair or rebuild chimney crowns completely so water has nowhere to go but away from your chimney.
Chimney leaks can come from several different places — the crown, the flashing, the cap, or the masonry itself. We find the source first, then fix it properly. We don't just patch the symptom — we repair the actual cause so it doesn't come back.
Spalling bricks and crumbling mortar are very common in Reno's climate. We replace damaged bricks and repoint the mortar joints — a process called tuckpointing — that restores your chimney's strength and stops water from getting deeper in.
Flashing is the metal seal between your chimney and your roof. When it pulls away, bends, or corrodes, water runs right into your home. We reseal or fully replace flashing so that seam is watertight again and stays that way through every season.
A missing or broken chimney cap is an open invitation for rain, animals, and debris. We install properly fitted, durable chimney caps that keep everything out. It's one of the most affordable repairs we do — and one of the most impactful.
The smoke chamber directs smoke from your fireplace into the flue. When it's cracked or coated with porous creosote, smoke backs up into your home and heat can escape into your walls. We repair and pararge smoke chambers to seal them and restore proper function.
Your flue liner is your chimney's safety system. Cracks, gaps, or missing sections are serious hazards. Depending on the damage, we repair the liner or replace it entirely — using stainless steel or cast-in-place options that meet all safety standards.
Even after repairs, masonry is still porous and can absorb moisture over time. We apply professional-grade waterproofing sealant that protects your chimney from rain and snow without trapping moisture inside. It's a smart long-term investment for any Reno homeowner.
Cracked fireboxes, damaged dampers, broken firebrick — all of these affect how your fireplace burns and how safe it is to use. We repair every part of the firebox and damper system so your fireplace works the way it should, safely and efficiently.
