Every Way Water Gets Into a Chimney
No lump-sum waterproofing, just each entry point and its repair, priced in writing.
A cracked crown lets water into the masonry
The crown is the concrete top of a masonry chimney. Florida's residential code, in section R1003.9.1, expects it to slope so rain runs off, with a drip edge underneath and a caulked bond break where the flue liners come through.
Cracks, broken edges and a flat top let rain soak into the brick below and run down inside the chimney. Our specialists tell you whether the crown can be sealed or needs rebuilding, and crown work is priced as its own repair.
Siding, trim and a leaking chase
Water that gets behind the siding of a chimney chase can rot the framing and trim long before a stain shows inside. Gaps at corner boards, split trim and missing sealant around the chase are usual entry points.
On a chase in Apollo Beach, our pros check the siding and trim along with the chase top, then tell you which repairs belong with us and which ones call for a carpenter.
Using the fireplace during a leak
Wet masonry, a rusted damper or loose debris in the flue should be checked before the next fire, and a fire will not dry out a leaking chimney. Rust flakes or debris on the grate are another sign the flue should be looked at from the top before any fire.
Our team tells you on the inspection visit whether the fireplace can be used while you wait for the repair, and what, if anything, has to be fixed first.
Leave the evidence until we see it
It is tempting to paint over a stain or throw out a damp rug right away. Leaving the evidence where it is, or noting where and when it appeared, helps show the path the water took. A dated note each time water appears, with the weather that day, is one of the most helpful things you can hand our team.
Our team only needs a clear look and your timeline. Once the leak is traced, the cleanup and refinishing can go ahead in Apollo Beach without guesswork.
