How We Track Down a Chimney Leak
Leaks in East Tampa are traced before anything is quoted, and each repair gets its own written price.
When the leak shows up tells a story
A leak that appears during every rain points to an opening that takes water directly, such as an open flue or a gap at the flashing. One that appears only after long storms suggests masonry that soaks water up slowly. One that follows wind from a single direction points to that face of the chimney.
Write down when you see water, how long after the rain started and which way the wind was blowing. Our specialists in East Tampa use those notes to plan the inspection and any water test.
What to do while you wait for the visit
Set a towel or a shallow pan where the water lands, shift rugs and furniture clear of the wet area and leave the fireplace unused until the leak has been checked. If water is near a light fixture or an outlet, keep people away from it and switch that circuit off at the breaker if you can do so safely.
Stay off the roof, especially while it is wet. Our team needs only your notes and access to the house, and we will do the climbing.
Rust on the damper and in the firebox
A damper that has rusted stiff, flakes of rust on the firebox floor and a musty smell from the fireplace are signs that water has been reaching the inside of the chimney for some time.
The top of the chimney is checked for the source, and our specialists look at the damper itself. If it needs repair or replacement after the leak is fixed, that is priced separately so you can decide.
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 East Tampa without guesswork.
