Chimney Leak Repair Toronto — Diagnosed With a Camera, Not a Guess
We find the actual leak path — flashing, crown, brick, or cap — with a drone and a moisture meter, then price the fix in one visit. No open-ended 'let's try this' invoices.
What's included
- Drone roof scan + interior moisture reading
- Written diagnosis with photos, not verbal guesses
- Fixed-price quote before any work starts
- All four leak paths inspected (flashing, crown, brick, cap)
- 5-year no-leak warranty on the repaired path
- Insurance-ready invoice and photo report
Why Chimney Leak Repair matters in the GTA
A chimney has four common leak paths and the wrong one gets blamed constantly. We diagnose before we quote — never the other way around.
Toronto homes built between 1920 and 1970 are the worst offenders: solid-brick chimneys with clay crowns that have cracked, spalled, or lost their overhang. Add an ice dam and you get a slow drip into a plaster ceiling.
What the visit looks like
Drone photos of the crown and cap, interior moisture-meter readings around the chimney chase, a hose test of the flashing if the roof is safe, then a printed diagnosis with the specific failing component circled in the photos.
Real Toronto pricing (2026)
Diagnosis + waterproofing on a sound chimney: $350–$550. Crown seal: $450–$800. Flashing rebuild: $650–$1,100. Full crown recast + tuckpointing: $1,800–$2,400.
Why Chimney Experts
We refuse to quote leak repairs sight-unseen. The 5-year warranty covers the specific path we repaired — because we know exactly what we repaired.
What Toronto homeowners say
"Booked a sweep and WETT inspection before winter. Crew arrived on time, laid down drop cloths, and walked me through the report photo by photo. Fixed pricing, no upsell — exactly what was quoted."
— Sarah M.
"Cracked clay liner in our 1962 fireplace. They installed a stainless liner and new cap in one day and the draft is perfect. Warranty paperwork emailed the same evening."
— David R.
"Called for a raccoon in the flue. They removed it humanely, sanitized the smoke chamber, and installed a stainless cap. Fair price, no drama, and they even followed up a week later."
— Priya S.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my chimney leaking only in heavy rain?+
Usually a wind-driven crown or cap issue — the water needs volume and angle to reach the failed spot.
Can you fix it in one visit?+
In 80% of cases, yes. Complex full rebuilds are quoted then scheduled.
Do you charge for the diagnosis?+
$149 diagnostic, credited to any repair over $500.
Will waterproofing alone stop the leak?+
Only if the leak path is brick porosity. Flashing/crown/cap failures need physical repair.
How long is the warranty?+
5 years on the specific repaired leak path, in writing.
Is this covered by home insurance?+
Sudden storm damage yes; gradual wear no. Our report supports the claim either way.
