About this service
What 24/7 Chimney Repair in Galloway Actually Covers
24/7 Chimney Repair in Galloway is emergency and after-hours chimney work that fixes active problems: smoke backdraft, water running down the flue, a damper stuck open, or a cap torn off by wind. We carry chimney rods, an inspection camera, and refractory mortar on every truck so we can diagnose and repair on the first visit. That includes relining with a stainless steel liner, rebuilding a damaged crown, or resetting a clay flue tile that shifted.
Galloway sits close enough to the coast that nor'easters drive rain sideways into brick, and cold snaps hit single digits. Both wreck mortar joints and flashing. If you search for 24/7 chimney repair near me in Galloway after a storm, you want someone who knows this building stock. Most homes here are 30 to 60 years old with original brick chimneys, so spalling brick and chimney leaks are common calls.

What's included
What Our 24/7 Chimney Repair Includes
Every after-hours call starts with a camera inspection and a written price. From there, the work depends on what failed. These are the items we handle most often on night calls, and what each one covers.
✓
Camera Flue Inspection
We run an inspection camera from the top of the flue to the smoke chamber. You see the footage. This catches cracked clay flue tile, creosote buildup, and blockages before we quote the repair.
✓
Damper and Cap Repair
Stuck dampers and torn caps are the two most common night fixes. We repair or replace the damper, install a damper clamp if the flue must stay closed, and fit a new cap sized to your flue.
✓
Leak Tracing and Sealing
We trace water intrusion to the flashing, crown, or mortar joints, then seal it with ChimneySaver waterproofing and fresh flashing. A water test confirms the fix before we leave.
✓
Masonry Stabilization
Loose brick and crumbling mortar get stabilized that night. We remove spalled brick, repack joints with refractory mortar, and schedule a full rebuild if more than a few courses are affected.
✓
Liner Assessment
If the stainless steel liner or clay flue tile is failing, we document the damage with photos and measurements. Relining gets scheduled fast, usually within 24 to 48 hours, with materials ordered that morning.
How it works
How Our 24/7 Chimney Repair Call Works
01
Phone Triage
You describe the problem: smoke, water, smell, or a visible crack. We ask about your appliance and when you last burned. That tells us whether to bring liner materials, crown mix, or just diagnostic gear. Takes about 5 minutes.
02
On-Site Inspection
We run an inspection camera down the flue and check the crown, flashing, and damper. You see the footage on our screen. Most night inspections take 20 to 30 minutes and tell us exactly what failed.
03
Stabilize and Isolate
If the flue is unsafe, we clamp the damper shut or block the opening and tag it. That keeps your family off a compromised chimney until the repair is done. We also tarp any roof opening if the cap is gone.
04
Repair or Schedule
Simple fixes like a damper clamp, cap replacement, or flashing reseal we finish that night. Relining and masonry rebuilds get scheduled for daylight, usually within 24 to 48 hours, with materials ordered that morning.
05
Test and Sweep
Before we leave, we test draft with a smoke test, confirm no water intrusion, and sweep the firebox floor. You get photos of the finished work and a written summary of what we did and what to watch.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Night Calls
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 clay flue tile, creosote layers, and blockages. You watch the footage on our screen before we quote anything.
Chimney Brush and Rods
Brushes sized to your flue, mounted on flexible rods, remove creosote and soot. We sweep from the top down and clean the firebox floor before finishing.
Tuckpointing Trowel and Mortar Hawk
Used for repacking mortar joints and rebuilding damaged courses. We match the mortar mix to your brick so the repair blends with the original chimney.
Angle Grinder and Masonry Chisel
We grind out failed mortar and cut damaged brick cleanly. That lets us set new firebrick and refractory mortar without cracking the surrounding masonry.
Damper Clamp
When a flue must stay closed for safety, we install a damper clamp. It keeps the damper open or closed as required and prevents accidental use.
ChimneySaver Waterproofing
Applied after masonry repairs cure, this sealant keeps rain out of brick while letting the chimney breathe. It slows spalling and extends the life of the masonry.
Real results
Before and after.
Cracked Crown Stopped a Ceiling Leak
Before
A Smithville homeowner called at 10 p.m. after water started dripping from the ceiling beside the chimney. The crown had a hairline crack that opened during a freeze, and rain was running straight into the flue.
After
We tarped the flue that night, then rebuilt the crown with chimney crown mix the next morning. A water test showed no intrusion. Total repair time was about four hours across two visits.
Relined a Collapsed Clay Flue Tile
Before
A Pomona family smelled smoke in an upstairs bedroom whenever they burned. The camera showed a collapsed section of clay flue tile and heavy creosote above it. The fireplace had been unusable for weeks.
After
We isolated the flue that night and installed a stainless steel liner two days later. Draft tested clean, and the smoke smell was gone on the first burn. The liner carries a workmanship warranty.
Replaced a Storm-Torn Cap and Flashing
Before
A nor'easter tore the cap off a Leeds Point chimney and pulled the flashing loose. Rain poured into the flue for two days before the homeowner called. The damper was rusted shut from the moisture.
After
We installed a new stainless cap, reset and sealed the flashing, and replaced the damper. The repair finished in one night visit, about three hours on site.
Problems we solve

Water running down the chimney
We trace the leak to flashing, crown, or mortar, then seal it with ChimneySaver and fresh flashing. A water test confirms the repair before we pack up.
Creosote buildup and chimney fire risk
We sweep with chimney brushes and rods, remove the creosote, and measure what is left. If the buildup is stage 3, we recommend a professional cleaning before the next burn.
Damaged crown letting water in
We remove loose crown material, pour a new crown mix with the correct slope and overhang, and seal the bond. Most crowns cure overnight and are ready for weather within a day.
