Water stains on the ceiling or attic
We water-test the chimney, trace the entry point, and repair the flashing, crown, or mortar joint that is letting water in. Then we apply waterproofing sealant so the masonry sheds water instead of absorbing it.

About this service
What residential chimney repair in Pleasant Grove involves
Residential chimney repair in Pleasant Grove is the diagnosis and correction of structural, water, and draft problems in a home's chimney system, from the firebox to the cap. That means repointing spalling brick, rebuilding a cracked crown, resealing step and counter flashing, replacing a deteriorated stainless steel liner, and resetting a damper that no longer seals. We inspect the whole assembly with an inspection camera and a moisture meter before we quote a single repair.
Pleasant Grove sits in a freeze-thaw pocket along the Wasatch Front, and that is hard on masonry. Water gets into hairline cracks, freezes overnight, and pries brick apart by spring. Add creosote buildup from winter burning and animal nesting in uncapped flues, and most homes here need attention every few years. If you have been searching for home chimney repair Pleasant Grove homeowners can actually rely on, we handle the diagnosis, the repair, and the documentation in one visit.

What's included
What is included in residential chimney repair
Every residential chimney repair job we run in Pleasant Grove includes the diagnosis, the repair itself, and the proof that it worked. Here is what is covered in a standard scope, and what we quote separately if you want it added.
✓
Full chimney inspection
We walk the roof, inspect the firebox, run an inspection camera up the flue, and check masonry moisture with a moisture meter. This is how we find the actual failure point instead of guessing at it.
✓
Written scope and price
You get the repair named, the materials listed, and the price in writing before we start. If we find a second problem mid-job, we stop and call you before adding anything to the scope.
✓
Repair materials and labor
Crown sealant, refractory cement, firebrick, stainless steel liner, flashing, chimney cap, and damper parts are all included in the quoted price. We list the brands on the invoice so you know what went into your chimney.
✓
Draft and seal testing
After the repair, we light a smoke pen in the firebox to confirm draft and check the damper seal. If the chimney does not pull correctly, we do not call the job finished.
✓
Photo documentation
You receive before, during, and after photos of the repair. That file is useful for insurance claims, home sales, and your own records. We keep a copy on file for future service calls.
✓
Workmanship warranty
Our repair work is backed by a written workmanship warranty. If the same failure returns within the warranty window, we come back and make it right at no charge.
How it works
How our residential chimney repair process works
01
Phone triage
Call (855) 927-7517 and describe what you are seeing: a stain on the ceiling, a smoky fireplace, loose brick on the roof. We ask a few questions, tell you whether it sounds like a leak, a liner, or a crown, and book a same-day or next-day slot for most Pleasant Grove addresses.
02
On-site inspection
A CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep walks the roof and the firebox, runs an inspection camera up the flue, and checks moisture levels in the masonry with a moisture meter. Expect 45 to 60 minutes on a typical single-flue home.
03
Written scope and price
You get a written scope that names the repair, the materials, and the price before anyone touches a trowel. No hourly billing, no surprise add-ons. If we find a second issue mid-job, we stop and call you first.
04
The repair itself
Most jobs take two to six hours. Tuckpointing and mortar repair use a masonry trowel and jointing tool with refractory cement where heat is involved. Relining pulls a stainless steel liner down the flue. Crown work gets crown sealant and a 24-hour cure.
05
Draft test and walkthrough
Before we pack up, we light a smoke pen in the firebox to confirm draft, check the damper seal, and photograph the finished work. You get the photos, the material list, and a workmanship warranty in writing.
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
Pushed up the flue to see liner cracks, creosote thickness, and blockages that are invisible from the firebox. Every diagnosis starts here.
Moisture meter
Reads water content in the masonry so we know whether the chimney is actively leaking or has dried out. It tells us whether to repair now or monitor.
Rotary chimney sweep and flue brush
Removes creosote and soot from the flue walls without damaging the liner. Sized to the flue dimension for a full clean.
Masonry trowel and jointing tool
Used for tuckpointing, crown rebuilds, and mortar repair. The jointing tool gives us a finished joint profile that matches the original masonry.
Smoke pen
Confirms draft after a repair. If the smoke does not pull cleanly up the flue, the job is not finished.
Chimney cap and damper components
Stainless and copper caps, mesh spark screens, and top-sealing dampers from Selkirk, DuraVent, and Olympia Chimney, sized to the flue.
ChimneySaver and Copperfield sealants
Crown sealant and breathable waterproofing that protect masonry without trapping moisture. Applied only after repairs are complete.
Real results
Before and after.
Cracked crown on a 1960s brick chimney
Before
A homeowner in Old Pleasant Grove had a crown with three visible cracks and water staining on the attic sheathing. The flashing was intact, so the crown was the actual entry point. Moisture meter readings in the brick above the roofline were high.
After
We removed the failed crown, rebuilt it with a proper overhang and drip edge, and finished it with crown sealant. Two weeks later, moisture readings in the brick had dropped to normal and the attic stain had stopped spreading.
Failed flashing on a Battle Creek home
Before
A west-facing chimney in Battle Creek leaked into the ceiling every time a storm came in from the west. The original step flashing had rusted through and the counter flashing had pulled away from the masonry. Water was running down the chimney chase.
After
We rebuilt the step and counter flashing with new metal, cut a proper reglet into the mortar joint, and sealed it. We water-tested the chimney for 20 minutes after the repair with no water intrusion. The ceiling stain was dry within a week.
Cracked tile liner in a Grove Creek fireplace
Before
A Grove Creek homeowner smelled smoke in an upstairs bedroom whenever the fireplace ran. The inspection camera showed two cracked clay tiles about six feet up the flue. The damper also would not seal, so the house lost heat all winter.
After
We installed an insulated stainless steel liner sized to the fireplace and replaced the damper with a top-sealing unit. Draft tested clean with a smoke pen, and the smoke smell disappeared on the first burn. Heating bill dropped noticeably the following month.
Problems we solve
Chimney problems we solve for Pleasant Grove homes
Most chimney calls start with one of these five problems. Each one gets worse with time, and each one is cheaper to fix now than after a Utah winter.
Ask a pro →↗
Crumbling mortar and spalling brick
We grind out the failed mortar, repack joints with matched mortar, and replace spalled brick with units that match the original. On chimneys with heat exposure, we use refractory cement instead of standard mortar.
Smoke rolling back into the room
We run an inspection camera up the flue to find the blockage or liner damage, clear or reline as needed, and confirm draft with a smoke pen. Most backdraft calls are resolved in a single visit.
Damper that will not close
We repair or replace the damper, including top-sealing models that close at the cap. Then we test the seal with smoke to confirm it actually stops the draft.

Most residential chimney repairs in Pleasant Grove run $350 to $2,800 in 2026, depending on scope. A crown reseal or flashing repair sits at the low end. A full stainless steel reline or a partial rebuild pushes toward the top. Emergency and after-hours calls add a dispatch fee. We quote the exact price on site before any work starts.
A standard home chimney repair Pleasant Grove scope covers inspection, diagnosis, and correction of the failing component: crown, flashing, mortar joints, liner, damper, or cap. It includes materials, labor, draft testing with a smoke pen, and photos of the finished work. Chimney sweeping and cosmetic restoration are quoted separately if you want them.
Yes. Blackstone Ridge repairs residential chimneys across Pleasant Grove, UT and the surrounding Utah County area, including Battle Creek, Grove Creek, Manila, and Lindon View. We cover ZIP 84062 and nearby neighborhoods. Call (855) 927-7517 and we will confirm a window, usually same day or next day.
Most repairs finish in two to six hours. A crown reseal or flashing repair is a half-day job. Tuckpointing a full chimney face takes a full day. A reline or partial rebuild can run two to three days because mortar and crown sealant need cure time before the chimney goes back into service.
