New England weather can damage chimney masonry over time. Deteriorated mortar joints, loose bricks, damaged crowns, failing flashing, and water penetration can lead to more expensive repairs if left unaddressed.
ABCC Services provides professional chimney masonry repairs, brick replacement, repointing, crown repairs, crown sealing, flashing repairs, waterproofing when appropriate, and chimney leak investigation throughout Greater Boston and Southern New Hampshire.
Brick Chimney Restoration
Spalled, cracked, or missing bricks compromise the structural integrity of the chimney and allow water to enter the masonry. We replace damaged bricks with properly matched materials and appropriate mortar to restore the chimney's appearance and structural soundness.

Mortar Joint Repointing
Deteriorated mortar joints are one of the most common causes of chimney water damage. As mortar erodes, water enters the masonry and accelerates deterioration of the surrounding brick. Repointing removes damaged mortar and replaces it with fresh mortar matched to the existing masonry.

Chimney Crown Repairs
The chimney crown is the concrete or mortar cap that seals the top of the chimney structure and directs water away from the flue opening. Cracked or deteriorated crowns allow water directly into the chimney. We repair and seal crowns to restore this critical water barrier.

Chimney Flashing Repair
Flashing seals the critical joint between the chimney and the roof surface. Failed or improperly installed flashing is a common source of roof leaks and interior water damage. We repair and replace step flashing, counter flashing, and saddle flashing to stop water infiltration at the roofline.

Chimney Leak Repairs & Waterproofing
Chimney leaks can originate from multiple sources — damaged crowns, failed flashing, deteriorated mortar, missing caps, or cracked masonry. We investigate the source of chimney leaks and address the underlying cause. Exterior waterproofing may be appropriate for certain masonry conditions.

Deteriorated chimney masonry can be restored to sound, weather-resistant condition with proper repair techniques. The comparison below illustrates the difference between damaged masonry and professionally restored work.
PROTECT YOUR CHIMNEY BEFORE SMALL PROBLEMS BECOME MAJOR REPAIRS
Minor chimney issues — a few deteriorated mortar joints, a small crown crack, or a loose brick — are straightforward repairs when addressed early. Left unattended through New England winters, water infiltration accelerates deterioration and can turn a modest repair into a major reconstruction project. A free estimate costs nothing.
