What's included
What Emergency Chimney Repair Includes
Every emergency call includes the diagnostic work, the stabilization and the permanent repair. Here is what is covered on a standard visit, and what we quote separately if the scope grows once we are on the roof.
Full Chimney Inspection
We run an inspection camera down the flue, check the crown, cap, flashing, damper and spark arrestor, and look for spalling brick and deteriorated mortar joints. You get photos of every problem and a written diagnosis.
Leak Source Identification
We use smoke test equipment and a hose test to find exactly where water is getting in. Most leaks trace to flashing failure or a cracked chimney crown, not the brick itself, and we prove it before we quote a repair.
Emergency Stabilization
If the chimney is unsafe, we tarp the stack, brace loose sections and shut down the appliance. That stops further damage the same night and gives us a safe platform to complete the permanent repair.
Permanent Repair Work
Crown rebuilds, flashing re-set, cap replacement, tuckpointing, damper repair and stainless steel chimney liner installs are all done on the emergency visit when parts allow. We stock common sizes on the truck.
Smoke and Leak Testing
Before we leave, we run a smoke test to confirm draft and a hose test to confirm the leak is sealed. You see the results yourself. If either test fails, we keep working until it passes.
Insurance Documentation
We photograph the damage, note the cause and write the scope in language adjusters accept. If you are filing a storm damage claim, you get a file you can send straight to your carrier.
Service overview
Emergency Chimney Repair in Heber City, Utah
Emergency Chimney Repair in Heber City is a same-day diagnostic and repair service for chimneys that are actively leaking, cracking, smoking or unsafe to burn. We inspect the flue with an inspection camera, check the crown, flashing and damper, then stabilize the problem before water or creosote does more damage. Most calls end with a sealed crown, re-set flashing or a stainless steel chimney liner installed inside the existing chase.

How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
What to Expect on an Emergency Call
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Phone Triage
You call (855) 927-7517 and describe what you are seeing: water on the ceiling, smoke rolling into the room, a chunk of brick on the lawn. We ask three or four questions, tell you whether to shut the damper and stop burning, and dispatch the nearest truck. Takes about four minutes.
On-Site Inspection
A CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep arrives, sets a ladder and walks the roof. We run an inspection camera down the flue, check the crown, flashing, cap and spark arrestor, and look for spalling brick and deteriorated mortar joints. Most inspections take 25 to 40 minutes.
Written Diagnosis
We show you photos of every problem and explain what caused it. You get a flat price for the emergency repair before any work starts. No hourly surprises, no upsell on parts you do not need. If a full reline is the right call, we say so and quote it.
Emergency Repair
We stabilize the chimney first, then make the permanent fix. That might mean a new chimney cap, re-set flashing, tuckpointing mortar, a chimney crown rebuild or a stainless steel chimney liner. Most emergency repairs finish in two to five hours on site.
Test and Walkthrough
We run a smoke test to confirm draft and check for leaks with a hose test on the roof. Then we walk you through what we did, hand you the photos, and tell you what to watch for over the next 30 days. If a follow-up visit is needed, it is on us.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Inspection Camera
We run a camera down the flue to see cracked tiles, creosote buildup and animal nesting without tearing into the chimney. You see the same footage we do.
Chimney Brush and Rods
Standard sweep kit for removing creosote and soot from the flue. We use poly brushes on stainless liners and wire brushes on clay tile.
Flashing Bender
Lets us form new counterflashing on the roof to match your chimney and roof pitch. Properly bent flashing is the difference between a leak that stays fixed and one that comes back.
Mortar Mixing Paddle
We mix refractory mortar and tuckpointing mortar to the right consistency on site. Hand-mixed mortar does not bond properly and fails within a season.
Jointing Tool
Packs and profiles mortar joints so the repair matches the original brickwork. It is the difference between a repair that disappears and one that stands out.
Angle Grinder
Cuts out failed mortar joints and trims damaged brick before tuckpointing. Clean edges are what make the new mortar bond properly.
Smoke Test Equipment
Confirms draft and finds leaks in the flue after a repair. We do not clear a chimney for use until the smoke test passes.
Use cases
When to Call for Emergency Chimney Repair
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Wind-Damaged Cap and Cracked Crown
A January windstorm took the cap off a Timber Lakes home and cracked the crown. Snow was blowing straight into the flue, and the damper was frozen shut. The homeowner called us at 7 a.m. with water already showing in the firebox. → We tarped the stack the same morning to stop water intrusion, then returned two days later with a new HomeSaver cap and rebuilt the crown. The damper was thawed, lubricated and tested. Total repair cost came in under the insurance deductible.
Smoke Backdraft From Cracked Liner
A Red Ledges homeowner could not use the fireplace without smoke rolling into the room. The original clay tile liner had multiple cracks, and the damper was stuck half-open. A smoke test confirmed the flue was losing draft badly. → We installed an insulated stainless steel chimney liner sized to the appliance, replaced the damper, and ran a smoke test to verify draft. The fireplace now draws correctly, and the system meets NFPA 211 Standard and IRC requirements.
Problems we solve
Chimney Problems We Fix in Heber City
Most emergency calls trace back to one of four failures. Here is what we see on Heber Valley roofs, what happens if you ignore it, and how we fix it for good.
Chimney water leak staining ceilings and walls
We find the source with a hose test, then repair flashing with a flashing bender or rebuild the crown with ChimneySaver crown mix. Most emergency chimney leak repair near me Heber City Utah calls end with the leak sealed the same day.
Cracked chimney crown letting water into the flue
We chip out the failed crown, form a new one at the correct 1/4 inch per foot slope, and finish it with crown mix rated for freeze-thaw. The repair typically lasts 20 years or more.
Damaged chimney liner creating a fire risk
We install a stainless steel chimney liner sized to your appliance, insulated and code-correct to NFPA 211 Standard. Most relines finish in a single day and restore full draft.
Smoke backdraft pushing fumes into the room
We diagnose with smoke test equipment, clear animal nesting or creosote blockage, repair the damper and confirm draft. If the flue is undersized, we reline it to match the appliance.
Pricing process
Emergency Chimney Repair Pricing
$285 - $1,450 depending on scope
Scope of the repair
A cap replacement is a one-hour job. A crown rebuild or a full reline is a full day. The wider the damage, the higher the price, and we quote it flat before we start.
Chimney height and roof pitch
A steep pitch or a tall stack means more setup, more safety gear and more time. Heber Valley homes with 10/12 pitches take longer to work on than a low-slope roof.
Liner condition
If the flue tiles are cracked, a stainless steel chimney liner is the correct fix. That is a bigger ticket than a spot repair, but it restores the chimney to code and lasts decades.
