Water drives most Kent chimney repairs. On the valley floor, lingering ground moisture saturates masonry; on the hillsides, heavy runoff plus freeze-thaw cracks crowns apart. We seal and rebuild crowns, repoint mortar, and replace rusted metal chase covers on factory-built chimneys.
Whether it's brick masonry or a prefab chase, we waterproof the repair against Kent's wet climate and the slope-side freeze-thaw cycle. Done before winter, it stops water damage from compounding through the cold months.

Chimney & Crown Repair โ your questions
My metal chimney chase cover is rusting โ can you replace it?
Yes. We fabricate and install new stainless chase covers for factory-built chimneys, sealing out water for good.
How do I know if my crown is cracked?
White staining, crumbling edges, or moisture in the firebox are common signs. We confirm with a camera and show you the photos.
Should crown repair wait or be done before winter?
Do it before winter. Water freezing in cracks widens them every cold night, so sealing early prevents bigger, costlier damage.
