The best repair starts with the homeowner’s symptoms, not with a predetermined sales package. ABC Chimney Solutions asks what the customer is seeing, smelling or experiencing, then evaluates the chimney to determine whether that is the actual source of the problem.

What Chimney Repair actually involves
The best repair starts with the homeowner’s symptoms, not with a predetermined sales package. ABC Chimney Solutions asks what the customer is seeing, smelling or experiencing, then evaluates the chimney to determine whether that is the actual source of the problem. When more than one repair path makes sense, the options are explained clearly and the homeowner chooses the scope.
Repair the cause, not only the symptom
A deteriorated brick may be the visible problem, but the cause may be water entering through a crown, cap, flashing or failed mortar joint. ABC Chimney Solutions looks at the full system and normally recommends addressing the source as well as the damage. If the homeowner wants only a safe spot repair, the project can be scoped that way.
One company, many repair types
ABC Chimney Solutions performs masonry repair, tuckpointing, crown work, flashing, firebox and smoke chamber repair, damper solutions, liner replacement, stucco, leak repair, partial rebuilds, full rebuilds and related chimney construction. That range makes it possible to compare repair options instead of forcing every chimney into the same solution.
Repair vs. rebuild
Sometimes a long list of individual repairs approaches the cost of rebuilding the damaged section. In those cases ABC Chimney Solutions compares the options and explains when a partial or full rebuild may deliver better long-term value for a similar cost.

Questions & Answers
Chimney Repair — frequently asked
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about chimney repair in Connecticut.
Do you offer more than one repair option?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions explains the practical repair options for the condition, including the advantages and limitations of each, and tells the homeowner which option the team believes makes the most sense. Learn more about this service.
Can I choose a smaller spot repair even if you recommend more work?
Yes, when the limited repair can be performed safely. ABC Chimney Solutions explains the broader cause and the long-term option, but the homeowner decides which scope to authorize. Learn more about this service.
Do you repair every part of a chimney?
ABC Chimney Solutions performs masonry, crown, flashing, firebox, smoke chamber, damper, liner, waterproofing, stucco, rebuilding and other chimney repair work, allowing the project to be built around the actual problem rather than a narrow specialty. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by repair the cause, not only the symptom?
A deteriorated brick may be the visible problem, but the cause may be water entering through a crown, cap, flashing or failed mortar joint. ABC Chimney Solutions looks at the full system and normally recommends addressing the source as well as the damage. If the homeowner wants only a safe spot repair, the project can be scoped that way.

How do I know whether my chimney needs repair or replacement?
It comes down to how much of the structure is still doing its job. Where sound masonry sits below a failed section, ABC Chimney Solutions repairs; where the deterioration runs through the stack, a partial or full rebuild lasts longer than repeated patching. Learn more about this service.
What causes most chimney damage in Connecticut?
Water, and then freezing. Connecticut goes through freeze and thaw repeatedly rather than freezing once for the season, so water that entered a crack in the fall is expanded and released many times before spring. That is what turns a hairline crack into a spalled corner. ABC Chimney Solutions covers this as part of its chimney repair work in Connecticut. Learn more about this service.
Can chimney repairs be done in winter?
Assessment and temporary protection can be done any time. Mortar and masonry work needs temperatures that let the material cure properly, so ABC Chimney Solutions will say honestly when a repair should wait rather than doing it in conditions that will make it fail early. Learn more about this service.
Why does my chimney leak only when it rains hard?
Because the water is being driven sideways rather than falling vertically. Wind-driven rain gets into joints on the weather face and under flashing laps that shed an ordinary shower without trouble, which is why a leak can appear in one storm and not the next. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at chimney repair. Learn more about this service.
Is a cracked chimney dangerous?
It depends where the crack is. A crack in the crown lets water in and is a durability problem. A crack through a flue liner is a different matter, because it can let combustion gases reach places they should not. ABC Chimney Solutions establishes which it is before advising. Learn more about this service.
How long do chimney repairs last?
That depends on whether the cause was fixed or only the symptom. Repointing under a crown that is still cracked will fail again; the same work with the water path closed lasts. ABC Chimney Solutions works to the cause for that reason. Learn more about this service.
Will you match the existing brick?
ABC Chimney Solutions matches brick and mortar as closely as the materials available allow, which matters most on older Connecticut masonry where a modern hard mortar next to soft historic brick causes damage rather than preventing it. Learn more about this service.
Do you need scaffolding?
Sometimes. Height, roof pitch and the amount of work decide it. ABC Chimney Solutions will tell you what access the job needs before it starts rather than after. Learn more about this service.
Can I do chimney repairs myself?
Sealant on a crown or a smear of mortar on a joint usually traps water rather than shedding it, and the work is at height on a roof. Most of what ABC Chimney Solutions is called to repair a second time is a previous quick fix. Learn more about this service.

What Homeowners Say
Reviews from the towns we work in
Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.
The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.
Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.
Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.
Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.
Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.
Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.
Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
