Fast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Sunrise
Chimney repair in Sunrise, FL doesn’t usually start with a fire. It starts with a musty smell after a heavy rain, or a patch of brick that’s starting to crumble. Sun-baked crowns crack, clay tile liners from the 1970s spall, and water finds its way in. Flint Chimney Co Fort Lauderdale repairs chimneys across Sunrise with a simple rule: nothing gets recommended unless you can see the why on camera. Call (754) 354-1430 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.

We’ve been in business since 2002, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means any covered repair that fails within one year gets a return visit at no charge.

Styles & brands we work with





Chimney Cap Installation in Sunrise
Chimney Cap Installation in Sunrise is the single most useful repair for a home with a rarely used fireplace. A proper cap keeps rain, leaves, and animals out of the flue, but it also stops water from pooling inside the chimney where it quietly rots mortar joints and rusts dampers. In Sunrise’s wet season, from May through October, an uncapped flue takes on water almost every afternoon. In older sections like the original 1960s subdivisions near Sunrise Boulevard and Nob Hill Road, many chimneys still have no cap at all.
What Installation Involves
We measure the flue, select a stainless steel cap from brands like Olympia Chimney or Gelco, and secure it to the crown. Installation typically runs $380 – $650 in Sunrise, depending on flue size and whether the crown needs a minor patch first. The written price you approve is the price on the invoice.
Why Sunrise Homes Get This Done
Homeowners in Sunrise Golf Village and the neighborhoods off Oakland Park Boulevard often notice a musty odor after storm season ends. The cap wasn’t there, or the old one rusted through. We install once and move on.
Chimney Cap Replacement in Sunrise
Chimney Cap Replacement in Sunrise is common on homes where the original cap was either never installed or has corroded under years of humid, salt-influenced air. Galvanized caps don’t hold up well here. We see them pitted and rusted through in as little as five or six years, especially on two-story homes where the chimney gets full afternoon sun and then heavy rain the same day. A replacement typically runs $340 – $580 in Sunrise.
Signs a Cap Needs Replacing
Rust streaks on the brick below the cap, water stains inside the firebox after rain, or a cap that’s shifted and no longer covers the flue opening. Any one of those is reason enough to have a technician take a look with a camera.
Materials We Use
We fit replacement caps from Olympia Chimney, Gelco, and Copperfield, all stainless steel and sized to the flue. No universal-fit aluminum caps that rattle in the wind and warp after one summer.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We work with professional-grade chimney products because they hold up in Sunrise’s climate. That means caps and dampers from Olympia Chimney and Gelco, and flashing and chase covers from Copperfield. We keep common sizes stocked for fast turnaround in Sunrise, so a chimney cap replacement doesn’t turn into a two-week wait for parts. The brand matters less than the fit, but using materials you can verify independently gives you a straight answer on what’s going on your chimney. We specify brands by job, not by margin.

AfterCommon Chimney Repair Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Cracked crowns from wet-dry cycling. Sunrise gets a hard dry season, then months of daily rain. The concrete crown at the top of the chimney expands and contracts until it cracks, then water pools inside the flue. We repair or replace the crown before it turns your firebox into a mildew closet.
- Spalled clay tile liners in 1960s – 1990s homes. The original clay tiles crack under thermal stress from occasional winter fires, but since the fireplace barely gets used, the damage goes unnoticed until a Level 2 inspection finds it. Smoke backing up into the living room is often the first visible sign.
- Flashing failures at the roofline. Heavy summer downpours in Sunrise expose small gaps in chimney flashing. The leak is slow, often rotting adjacent roof decking and framing before a stain appears on the ceiling. We replace flashing with Copperfield materials and seal it properly.
- Rusted dampers in rarely used fireplaces. The throat damper sits above the firebox and rusts from humidity even if you never light a fire. A rusted damper either seizes shut or drops debris into the firebox. Replacement is straightforward and priced in writing before we start.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Sunrise
Water is getting in through a cracked crown, missing chimney cap, or failed flashing, and it’s soaking into the soot and mortar inside the flue. The smell is the water evaporating and pulling those odors into the house. In Sunrise, this pattern shows up after the first few heavy downpours of the wet season. The fix starts with a camera inspection to find the entry point, then repairs to the crown, cap, or flashing that stop the water at the source. Call (754) 354-1430 for an exact quote.
Yes. An unused fireplace still lets water into the flue every time it rains. In Sunrise’s wet season that can be daily for weeks. A chimney cap keeps rain, leaves, and animals out, and it protects the clay tile liner and mortar joints from the moisture cycle that causes spalling. Homes in Sunrise Golf Village and the older subdivisions off Nob Hill Road often have no cap at all. Installation runs $380 – $650, and it’s one of the most cost-effective repairs we do in Sunrise. Call (754) 354-1430 to schedule.
Cracked crowns and spalled clay tile flue liners. Sunrise’s 1960s – 1990s housing stock was built with original clay tile liners and poured concrete crowns that have now been exposed to decades of Broward County wet-dry cycling. The crown cracks, water pools inside, and the liner starts to flake apart. We see this pattern in Sunrise far more often than in neighboring Plantation or Davie. A camera inspection confirms the damage, and then we show you the footage before any repair is quoted. Call (754) 354-1430 for a free estimate.
Yes. A rusted damper can seize in place, which means it either won’t fully close and lets conditioned air escape up the chimney, or it’s stuck open enough to let humidity and animals in. In Sunrise’s humid climate, throat dampers rust even on unused fireplaces. The fix is a damper replacement, which runs $350 – $700, depending on the fireplace size. It’s a straightforward repair we cover under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (754) 354-1430 to have it checked.
You get a Level 2 camera inspection. We run a high-resolution camera up the flue and record the entire length of the liner. Cracked tiles, spalled surfaces, and gaps between tile sections all show up clearly on the footage. You watch it with the technician, and if there’s no damage, there’s no repair. That’s the discipline of The Garrison Standard. If the liner is cracked, we give you a written quote for flue relining with materials like DuraFlex. Call (754) 354-1430 to schedule an inspection in Sunrise.
