Technician Brian recently completed a chimney leak repair on South Oakenwald Avenue in Chicago. The homeowner had noticed water stains forming around the fireplace after a recent storm and called Chimney Monkey for help.

Upon inspection, we found cracked mortar joints and a compromised crown that were letting moisture in. Brian sealed vulnerable areas, installed flashing where needed, and applied a waterproofing sealant to protect the chimney long-term. Quick action prevented further water intrusion and structural damage.
