About this service
What Chimney Leak Repair Aberdeen WA Involves
Chimney leak repair Aberdeen WA is the process of finding and sealing the points where water enters around your chimney and runs into the attic, ceiling, or wall cavity. Most leaks start at the flashing, the counter-flashing set into the mortar joints, or the crown at the top of the chase. We use a moisture meter and an infrared thermal camera to trace the water path, then open the roof only where the leak actually is. That saves you shingles and money.
Aberdeen gets roughly 75 inches of rain a year, and wind-driven rain off the harbor pushes sideways into chimney flashing that was never sealed for that kind of weather. Homes in Aberdeen City Centre and Rosemount with older masonry chimneys are the most common callers. If you've been searching chimney leak repair Aberdeen WA near me after a storm, we run 24/7 chimney leak fixing in Aberdeen, Washington, so a leak at 2 a.m. gets the same response as one at noon.

What's included
What Our Chimney Leak Repair Includes
Every chimney leak repair Aberdeen WA job starts with a full inspection and hose test, so you're paying for the actual fix, not guesswork. Here's what's covered in a standard repair. Anything beyond the chimney itself, like ceiling paint or insulation replacement, gets quoted separately once we know the extent of the water damage.
✓
Full Chimney Inspection
We inspect the flashing, counter-flashing, crown, cap, and chase cover from the roof and the attic. A moisture meter and infrared thermal camera map the wet zone inside. You get photos of everything we find, so you can see the problem yourself.
✓
Hose Test Diagnosis
A controlled hose test kit confirms the exact entry point before we open anything. We work from the low side of the chimney upward and watch for water inside. That step alone saves most customers the cost of unnecessary shingle removal.
✓
Flashing Replacement
Failed flashing is the most common cause we find. We remove the old metal, install new flashing and Grace Ice & Water Shield at the roof-to-chimney transition, and set counter-flashing into the mortar joint to NRCA detail.
✓
Sealant And Crown Repair
We seal the joint with Henry Company or Sika products rated for masonry, and repair cracked crowns with a flexible masonry coating. Standard caulk fails within one Aberdeen winter, so we don't use it on chimney work.
✓
Retest And Documentation
After the repair cures, we hose-test again and check the attic moisture reading. You get photos of the finished work and a warranty document. If the reading hasn't dropped, we keep going until it does.
How it works
How Our Chimney Leak Repair Process Works
01
Phone Intake
You describe where the water shows up, and we ask about roof age, chimney type, and recent storms. That tells us whether to bring flashing stock or a full chase kit. We book a same-day or next-morning window and text you the arrival time. No charge for the estimate.
02
Roof And Attic Inspection
We set a ladder stabilizer, climb the roof, and inspect the chimney flashing, crown, cap, and counter-flashing. Inside, a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera map the wet zone in the attic and ceiling. Most inspections take 30 to 45 minutes and tell us exactly where the water is getting in.
03
Hose Test And Diagnosis
We run a controlled hose test kit on the chimney from the low side up, watching for the moment water appears inside. That confirms the leak point instead of guessing. You get a written scope with photos, the repair options, and the price before any work begins.
04
Repair And Seal
We pull the old flashing, replace it with new metal and Grace Ice & Water Shield where the roof meets the chase, then seal with Henry Company or Sika sealant rated for masonry. Cracked pipe boots and failed skylight seals get swapped at the same time. A typical repair takes two to four hours.
05
Retest And Cleanup
We hose-test the finished repair a second time, check the attic with the moisture meter, and confirm the reading has dropped. Magnets sweep the yard for nails, and we haul away old flashing and debris. You get a warranty document and photos of the finished work before we leave.
Tools & methods
Tools And Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture Meter
Reads the water content in attic framing, drywall, and insulation so we can confirm the leak zone and verify it dried after the repair.
Infrared Thermal Camera
Shows temperature differences behind finished surfaces, which reveals water paths that aren't visible to the eye. It's how we trace leaks that show up far from the chimney.
Hose Test Kit
Applies controlled water to the chimney from the low side up, so we see exactly where water enters. It confirms the diagnosis before we open any shingles.
Ladder Stabilizer
Keeps the ladder off the gutter and locked against the wall, which protects your gutter and makes roof access safer on Aberdeen's wet, mossy surfaces.
Caulking Gun And Pry Bar
Used to remove old flashing and apply rated sealant cleanly at the chimney joint. A clean joint is what makes the repair last through wind-driven rain.
Roof Inspection Drone
Documents steep or fragile roof sections and chimney tops without walking them, which protects slate and tile roofs during the inspection.
Real results
Before and after.
Ceiling Stain From Failed Counter-Flashing
Before
A homeowner in Aberdeen City Centre had a brown ceiling stain that grew every time it rained. Two prior patch jobs with caulk had failed, and the attic moisture meter read high near the chimney chase.
After
We replaced the counter-flashing, installed new Grace Ice & Water Shield at the transition, and sealed with Sika masonry sealant. The hose test held, and the attic reading dropped to normal within 48 hours. The stain stopped growing that week.
Storm Leak Stopped Same Night In Torry
Before
A Torry homeowner called at 11 p.m. during a January storm with water running down the inside of the chimney and into the attic. The chase cover was rusted through and the flashing had torn loose in the wind.
After
We tarped the chase that night to stop the water, then returned the next morning to replace the cover and reflash the chimney. The repair passed a hose test, and the attic dried out over the following two days.
Cracked Crown Rebuilt In Ferryhill
Before
A Ferryhill home had leaked into the ceiling for two winters. The crown was cracked in three places and the mortar joints had opened up. Previous companies had only patched the ceiling inside.
After
We rebuilt the crown, resealed the counter-flashing, and replaced the cap. The hose test confirmed a dry chase, and the ceiling stain was patched and painted after the moisture reading returned to normal. No leaks through the following January storms.
Problems we solve
Chimney Leak Problems We Solve In Aberdeen
Most chimney leaks trace back to one of a handful of failures. Here are the ones we see most in Grays Harbor County, and what happens if they're left alone through another wet season.
Ask a pro →↗
Cracked concrete crown on top of the chimney
We clean the crown, fill the cracks, and coat it with a flexible masonry product that moves with temperature swings. If the crown is too far gone, we rebuild it and reseal the cap.
Rusted chase cover or chimney cap
We replace the cover with a new stainless or powder-coated unit sized to your flue, seal the edges, and check the cap clearance. That stops both the water and the wildlife entry in one visit.
Roof moss growth trapping water at the chimney base
We remove the moss, treat the surrounding roof, and reseal the chimney base. Then we check the gutter run so water actually drains away instead of pooling at the chase.

Customer reviews
What Aberdeen Customers Say
★★★★★
“We had a brown stain spreading on the ceiling every time it rained. Two other companies wanted to tear off half the roof. These guys hose-tested the chimney, found the counter-flashing had failed, and had it sealed in an afternoon. The stain stopped growing that same week. Cost less than the first quote I got.”

★★★★★
“Called at 7 a.m. after a storm pushed water down the chimney and into the attic. They were on the roof by 10. Replaced the flashing, swapped a cracked pipe boot, and dried the attic with us watching. Cleaned up every nail. That's the third time I've used them and they've never tried to sell me a new roof.”
DR
Dave R.Homeowner, Rosemount
✓ Verified★★★★★
“Our chimney leaked into the ceiling for two winters and nobody could find it. They used a thermal camera and found the water was actually coming in at the crown and running down the chase. Fixed the crown, resealed the flashing, and showed me the photos. Dry ever since, even through the January storms.”
PS
Priya S.Homeowner, Ferryhill
✓ VerifiedMost chimney leak repairs in Aberdeen run $350 to $1,200 in 2026, depending on whether we're resealing flashing or rebuilding the crown. A simple flashing reseal sits at the low end; a full counter-flashing replacement with new ice and water shield runs higher. Emergency and after-hours calls add a dispatch fee. We quote the exact price after the inspection, before any work starts.
You find the entry point first, then fix the flashing, crown, or cap that's letting water in. In Aberdeen, most leaks come from failed counter-flashing at the mortar joint or a cracked crown. We hose-test the chimney from the bottom up to confirm the spot, replace the flashing with new metal and Grace Ice & Water Shield, and seal with Sika or Henry Company masonry sealant. Then we retest.
We do, and we're local to Grays Harbor County. Aberdeen Roof Leak Repair Pros handles chimney leak fixing Aberdeen WA for homes in Aberdeen City Centre, Torry, Ferryhill, and the surrounding neighborhoods. We're licensed under Washington State Roofing Contractor License rules, carry WA L&I Contractor Registration, and run 24/7 for active leaks. Call +13608991171 for a same-day estimate.
Wind-driven rain and 75 inches of annual rainfall find every gap in your flashing, crown, or cap. The three most common causes we see are failed counter-flashing at the mortar joint, a cracked concrete crown, and a rusted chase cover. Ice dams and roof moss growth make it worse by trapping water against the chimney base. A hose test tells us which one you have.
