Chimney Leak Detection in Maryland
Chimney leaks are misdiagnosed more than any other call we take — because crown, flashing, cap and masonry leaks all stain the same ceiling. Our leak detection service isolates each entry point with controlled water testing before anyone sells you a repair.

- Serving MD Since 2012
About This Service
We test the chimney the way water attacks it: section by section, from the crown down, watching inside while each zone is wetted. The result is a documented answer — the actual entry point, photographed — and a repair quote aimed at that defect only. No shotgun repointing, no tar over three guesses.
What's Included
- Controlled water testing, zone by zone
- Crown, cap, flashing and masonry isolation
- Interior inspection of firebox and smoke chamber
- Photographed evidence of the entry point

FAQ
Chimney Leak Detection — Questions, Answered
The roofer said it's the chimney; the last chimney company said it's the roof. Who's right?
That loop is exactly why this service exists. Controlled testing settles it with evidence instead of opinions.
Why does it only leak in heavy rain?
Wind-driven rain reaches entry points that gentle rain never touches — a classic flashing and crown signature we test for specifically.
Do you repair what you find?
Yes — the same team repairs crowns, flashing and masonry, and the detection fee is credited toward the repair when you proceed with us.
Can a leak damage the flue liner?
Yes — chronic water entry rusts dampers, spalls tile and rots framing. It is worth stopping early.
