About this service
What emergency chimney repair in Pleasant Grove covers
Emergency chimney repair in Pleasant Grove is the same-day or after-hours service that stops an active chimney failure before it spreads into your walls, attic, or living space. When a chimney leak, crown damage, or flashing failure lets water in, we tarp, seal, and rebuild the affected section so the structure stops taking on moisture. That includes pulling a cracked chimney cap, resetting a spalling brick course with firebrick and mortar, or swapping a deteriorated chimney liner before it becomes a carbon monoxide risk.
Pleasant Grove sits at the base of Mount Mahogany and gets hard freeze-thaw swings from November through March, which cracks crowns and loosens mortar joints faster than most Utah County cities. We see creosote buildup ignite in older masonry flues, animal nesting block a damper in spring, and wind-driven rain push past worn flashing on State Street Corridor homes. If you search for emergency chimney repair Pleasant Grove UT near me after a storm, we answer the phone and roll a truck.

What's included
What our emergency chimney repair includes
Every emergency call starts with a full diagnosis, not a guess. You get the inspection, the fix, and the documentation in one visit, with a flat price quoted before we start. Add-ons like a full liner replacement or masonry rebuild are quoted separately once we see the scope.
✓
On-site diagnosis
We run an inspection camera down the flue, check the crown and flashing with a moisture meter, and test the damper. You get a written scope and price before any work begins. Diagnosis takes 20 to 40 minutes.
✓
Leak sealing and tarping
If rain is still entering, we tarp and seal the chimney first so nothing else gets wet. Then we fix the root cause, whether that is flashing, crown, or brick.
✓
Crown and flashing repair
Cracked crowns get resealed with crown sealant, and failed flashing gets pulled and reseated with new counter-flashing. These two fixes stop the majority of chimney leaks we see in Pleasant Grove.
✓
Liner and damper work
Cracked liners get replaced with a stainless steel liner sized to your appliance. Stuck or rusted dampers get repaired or swapped so the fireplace seals tight when it is not in use.
✓
Masonry rebuild
Spalling brick and failed mortar get rebuilt with firebrick, refractory cement, and a jointing tool. We match the existing mortar profile so the repair blends into the original chimney.
✓
Photo documentation
You get before and after photos plus a written report you can hand to your insurance adjuster. We log moisture readings and note the code references that apply to the repair.
How it works
How our emergency chimney repair process works
01
Phone triage
We ask what you are seeing: water stains, smoke rolling back into the room, a smell of creosote, or visible brick damage. That tells us what to load on the truck. Expect a 5 to 10 minute call and a 2 to 4 hour arrival window for most Pleasant Grove addresses.
02
On-site diagnosis
The tech runs an inspection camera down the flue, checks the crown and flashing with a moisture meter, and tests the damper. You get a written scope and price before any work starts. Diagnosis takes 20 to 40 minutes.
03
Stabilize and seal
If rain is still coming in, we tarp and seal first so nothing else gets wet. Then we fix the root cause: reset the flashing, patch the crown with crown sealant, or replace the damaged liner section with a stainless steel liner.
04
Rebuild and test
Masonry repairs use firebrick, refractory cement, and a jointing tool to match the existing mortar profile. Once cured, we run a smoke pen test to confirm the flue drafts correctly and no smoke escapes into the living space.
05
Walkthrough and report
We walk you through what failed, what we fixed, and what to watch for. You get photos of the before and after plus a written report you can hand to your insurance adjuster. Most jobs wrap in 2 to 6 hours.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use on every job
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Inspection camera
Lets us see the full length of the flue without guessing. We use it to confirm liner cracks, creosote buildup, and blockages before we quote a repair.
Moisture meter
Pinpoints where water is entering the chimney and confirms the repair worked. We take readings before and after every leak repair.
Rotary chimney sweep and flue brush
Clears creosote and debris from the flue so the chimney drafts safely. Standard equipment on every emergency call that involves a fire or smoke issue.
Masonry trowel and jointing tool
Used to repack mortar joints and match the original profile on brick repairs. The right tool is what makes a tuckpoint job blend in.
Smoke pen
Confirms the flue is drafting correctly after a repair. If smoke pulls up the chimney instead of into the room, the fix is working.
ChimneySaver crown sealant
Flexible sealant that bridges hairline cracks in the crown and keeps water out. We use it on most crown repairs.
DuraVent and Selkirk liner components
Stainless steel liner sections and caps that meet code and fit most residential flues. Stocked on the truck so liner work is not delayed.
Real results
Before and after.
Flashing failure stopped in Battle Creek
Before
A homeowner in Battle Creek called after a storm pushed water down the inside of the chimney and stained the living room ceiling. The flashing had pulled loose on the west side, and the crown had two hairline cracks feeding the leak.
After
We reseated the flashing with new counter-flashing, sealed the crown with ChimneySaver crown sealant, and confirmed with a moisture meter that the framing was drying. The ceiling stain stopped spreading within 48 hours.
Cracked liner replaced in Pleasant Grove East
Before
Smoke was rolling back into the room on every fire in a Pleasant Grove East home. The inspection camera showed a 14-inch crack in the original clay liner, plus heavy creosote buildup in the upper flue.
After
We swept the flue with a rotary chimney sweep, then installed a stainless steel liner sized to the fireplace. A smoke pen test confirmed the draft was pulling correctly. The homeowner has burned cleanly all season.
Spalling brick rebuilt in Old Pleasant Grove
Before
An Old Pleasant Grove bungalow had spalling brick on the top four courses and mortar that had washed out to sand. The stack was starting to lean, and brick was shedding onto the roof.
After
We rebuilt the top four courses with matching brick, tuckpointed the remaining joints with fresh mortar, poured a new crown, and applied a waterproofing sealant. The stack is straight and water-tight.
Problems we solve
Chimney problems we solve fast in Pleasant Grove
Most emergency calls come down to one of a handful of failures. Here is what we see most often and how we fix it before it turns into a bigger repair.
Ask a pro →↗
Cracked or missing chimney cap
We stock replacement caps on the truck and install a properly sized stainless or copper cap in under two hours. That keeps rain, animals, and sparks out of the flue year-round.
Deteriorated liner and carbon monoxide risk
We camera the flue, confirm the liner condition, and install a stainless steel liner sized to your appliance. The new liner meets NFPA 211 and IRC chimney code and comes with a workmanship warranty.
Spalling brick from freeze-thaw
We replace the damaged brick, repoint the joints with fresh mortar, and apply a waterproofing sealant. That stops the cycle and buys decades of life back on the chimney.
