If your brick chimney is spalling, leaking, or leaning, we handle brick chimney repair in Pleasant Grove from the crown down to the flashing. Blackstone Ridge has served Pleasant Grove, UT since 2023, and we've rebuilt chimneys on Main Street bungalows and Mount Mahogany two-stories alike. One call gets a same-day look and a straight price.
Brick chimney repair in Pleasant Grove means rebuilding the parts of the stack that water and freeze-thaw cycles have broken down: the crown, the mortar joints, the brick face, the flashing, and the liner. We start with an inspection camera and a moisture meter to find where water is actually getting in, then we cut out the failed brick with a masonry trowel and jointing tool, repack the joints with fresh mortar, and seal the whole stack with a breathable waterproofing sealant.
Pleasant Grove sits in Utah County where winter swings from 45 degrees to 12 degrees in a single week. That swing pops mortar joints and shells brick faces off in sheets. Most of the calls we run are for a brick chimney fix Pleasant Grove homeowners put off for a season or two, and by then the damage has moved from the crown into the brick itself. Catching it early keeps the repair in the hundreds instead of the thousands.
Every brick chimney repair in Pleasant Grove we quote starts with a full inspection and ends with a written warranty. Here's what's in the standard scope, and what we quote separately when your chimney needs it.
We walk the roof, inspect the crown, flashing, brick face, and cap, and run an inspection camera down the flue. You get photos of every problem area and a moisture meter reading on the stack.
Failed brick gets cut out and replaced with matching units. Failed mortar joints get ground out and repacked with fresh mortar matched to your chimney's original color and composition.
Cracked crowns get rebuilt with refractory cement and sloped so water sheds off the top. Minor cracks get sealed with crown sealant. Either way, the crown is the first line of defense against water.
We inspect step flashing, counter-flashing, and the seal at the roof line. If it's failed or improperly installed, we reset or replace it so water can't run down the chimney into the attic.
The finished stack gets a coat of ChimneySaver or equivalent breathable waterproofing. It blocks liquid water while letting the brick breathe, which is what stops spalling from coming back.
You get a written warranty on our labor, plus manufacturer warranties on liners, caps, and sealants. If something we repaired fails within the warranty window, we come back and fix it.
You call (855) 927-7517 and describe what you're seeing: a stain on the ceiling, missing mortar, brick flakes in the yard, or a fireplace that smokes. We ask a few questions, book a same-day or next-morning visit, and tell you what the diagnostic costs before we hang up.
A CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep walks the roof, runs an inspection camera down the flue, checks the crown and flashing with a moisture meter, and photographs every problem area. You get the findings in plain language, not a sales pitch. Most inspections take 45 to 60 minutes.
We hand you a written scope listing exactly what gets repaired, what materials we'll use (firebrick, mortar, crown sealant, stainless steel liner), and the total price. No line items that balloon later. You approve it, we schedule the work, usually within 3 to 7 days.
Most brick chimney repairs take one day, sometimes two if we're rebuilding a crown or relining. We tarp the roof, protect the landscaping, cut out failed brick, rebuild with a masonry trowel and jointing tool, reset the flashing, and seal the stack. You'll hear us, but you won't find a mess.
Before we pack up, we run a smoke pen test to confirm the draft, check the damper travel, and photograph the finished work. You get the photos and a written workmanship warranty. If anything looks off in the first year, we come back.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
We run a camera down the flue to see cracks, gaps, and creosote buildup that can't be seen from the roof. It's how we tell a repairable liner from one that needs full replacement.
A moisture meter tells us exactly where water is entering the chimney structure. We use it on the crown, the brick face, and the flashing so we repair the actual source, not a guess.
We sweep the flue with a rotary chimney sweep and flue brushes sized to your chimney before we repair anything. A clean flue lets us see the actual condition of the liner and joints.
Hand tools for cutting out failed mortar and repacking joints. The jointing tool shapes the mortar so it sheds water the way the original mason intended.
After we finish a repair, we run a smoke pen test to confirm the chimney drafts correctly. If smoke doesn't pull, we know something is still wrong before we leave the roof.
A breathable waterproofing sealant we apply to the finished stack. It blocks liquid water while letting the brick release vapor, which is what stops spalling from recurring.
Stainless steel liner systems we install when the original flue is cracked or unlined. Both brands carry the UL listings required for NFPA 211 compliance.
Original soft-fired brick with 30 percent of the face spalled off, mortar joints recessed a half inch, and a crown with three visible cracks. The homeowner was getting brick flakes in the yard after every winter and had been told the chimney needed a full rebuild.
We cut out and replaced 22 spalled brick, repointed 40 mortar joints with lime-matched mortar, rebuilt the crown with refractory cement, and applied two coats of ChimneySaver waterproofing. Total cost: $1,640. The chimney looks original and passed a follow-up inspection with zero moisture readings.
Water was dripping into the firebox every time it rained hard. The damper was rusted shut, the flashing had pulled away from the roof, and the crown had a hairline crack running the full width. The homeowner had a ceiling stain spreading on the second floor.
We reset the step and counter-flashing, sealed the crown with crown sealant, replaced the damper with a top-mount unit, and waterproofed the stack. Total cost: $1,150. The leak stopped immediately, and a hose test confirmed no water entry after the repair.
A windstorm knocked the top three courses of brick off a 1990s two-story chimney. The stack was open to the weather, rain was running down the flue, and the homeowner's insurance was waiting on documentation before approving the claim.
We tarped the chimney the same day, rebuilt the top four courses with matching brick, installed a new stainless steel cap with spark screen, and reset the flashing. Total cost: $2,380. We provided before-and-after photos for the insurance claim, which was approved in full.
These are the calls we run most often in Pleasant Grove. If any of them sound familiar, don't wait another season.
Ask a pro →We cut out the spalled units, replace them with matching brick, repoint the surrounding joints, and seal the entire stack with ChimneySaver waterproofing. That breaks the moisture cycle that caused the spalling in the first place.
We trace the leak with a moisture meter to the actual entry point, whether that's the crown, flashing, or a failed mortar joint. Then we repair that specific failure rather than smearing sealant over the symptom.
We tuckpoint the failed joints with mortar matched to your chimney's age and brick type, then inspect the whole stack for movement. If the chimney has shifted, we rebuild the affected section and reset the crown.
We rebuild cracked crowns with refractory cement, slope them correctly, and seal the edges. For minor cracks we use crown sealant. Either way, the crown sheds water instead of soaking it in.
Most brick chimney repair in Pleasant Grove runs $350 to $1,800 for typical work, and full rebuilds land between $3,500 and $9,000. A crown reseal with waterproofing starts around $340. Tuckpointing 20 to 30 joints runs $500 to $900. Relining with a stainless steel liner adds $1,800 to $4,200 depending on flue length.

Yes. Spalling brick is the most common repair we run in Pleasant Grove, and it's fixable as long as the brick hasn't lost more than about a third of its face depth. We cut out the spalled units, replace them with matching firebrick or face brick, repoint the surrounding joints, and seal the whole stack with ChimneySaver waterproofing. That stops the moisture cycle that caused the spalling in the first place.
Most brick chimney repair in Pleasant Grove takes one working day, roughly 6 to 9 hours on site. Crown rebuilds and small tuckpointing jobs often finish in 3 to 5 hours. Full chimney rebuilds from the roofline up take 2 to 4 days. Relining adds half a day. We tell you the expected duration when we quote, and we don't leave a job half-finished overnight unless weather forces it.
