A well-maintained chimney is more than just an architectural feature—it’s essential to your home’s safety, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. In a climate like Toronto’s, where seasonal weather extremes are common, chimney wear and damage are issues many homeowners face. That’s why chimney repair services in Toronto are in high demand—and Red Robin Masonry stands out as a trusted name in the field.

Whether you're experiencing crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, water leaks, or poor draft performance, our team is equipped to deliver long-lasting solutions that protect your home and restore peace of mind.
Why Chimney Maintenance Matters
Chimneys are constantly exposed to Toronto’s changing weather—freezing winters, heavy rains, and summer heat. These elements take a toll on both the bricks and mortar. Over time, small issues can become serious problems if not addressed promptly.
Key functions of a chimney include:
Venting smoke, gases, and toxins safely out of the home
Preventing moisture from entering the fireplace or flue
Supporting the structural elements of your home’s upper wall and roof
Ignoring chimney damage can lead to safety hazards such as chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, and interior water damage. That’s why regular maintenance and professional inspections are essential.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair
Homeowners often don’t notice chimney issues until symptoms become severe. To avoid costly repairs down the road, it’s important to catch early warning signs.
Common indicators that chimney repair is needed:
Cracked or missing bricks
Deteriorating mortar joints
White staining (efflorescence) on the brick surface
Leaning chimney stack or visible structural shifting
Water leaks in the fireplace or around the chimney
Smoke backing up into the home
Rust on the firebox or damper
If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s time to contact Red Robin Masonry for professional chimney repair services in Toronto.

Our Comprehensive Chimney Repair Services in Toronto
At Red Robin Masonry, we offer a full range of services designed to address everything from minor wear to complete rebuilds. Here’s a closer look at what we offer:
Chimney Repointing
When mortar joints begin to crumble or fall out, chimney repointing restores them. We carefully remove the old mortar and replace it with a fresh, weather-resistant mix, strengthening the structure and preventing water infiltration.
Chimney Rebuilding
For chimneys that are leaning, severely damaged, or beyond repair, a rebuild may be necessary. Our team can rebuild partial or full chimney stacks while maintaining the architectural style of your home.
Chimney Crown Repair and Replacement
The crown is the top concrete surface of the chimney that helps prevent water from entering the flue. Cracked or broken crowns allow moisture in, leading to serious internal damage. We repair or replace crowns to restore protection.
Flashing Repair
Flashing is the metal seal that joins the chimney to your roof. If flashing becomes loose or damaged, leaks can occur. We replace damaged flashing and ensure a watertight connection between your chimney and roofline.
Chimney Cap Installation
A chimney cap protects the flue from rain, snow, animals, and debris. We install and replace high-quality chimney caps that improve draft performance and reduce maintenance.
Waterproofing Services
Chimney waterproofing adds a breathable seal that keeps water out while allowing moisture to escape. This treatment extends the life of your masonry and reduces the need for frequent repairs.
Chimney Repairs for Heritage and Older Homes
Toronto is known for its beautiful heritage properties, many of which have original chimneys that are 50 to 100+ years old. Red Robin Masonry has deep experience working on historic structures, respecting original materials and designs while ensuring modern safety standards.
We match brick size, color, and mortar as closely as possible to maintain the visual integrity of your home.
