Chimney Leak Repair Our Fish Hawk Team Stands Behind
Local leak specialists, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every repair we make.
Open mortar joints on the chimney walls
Mortar joints are the weak point in a brick wall. As they erode, rain gets into the wall faster than it can dry out, and some of it runs down inside the chimney.
Repointing replaces the failing mortar. Following National Park Service guidance, the new mortar is kept softer and more breathable than the brick, so the joint takes the wear and the brick is spared. Our specialists match the mortar to your chimney.
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 Fish Hawk, 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.
Why the stain is not always under the leak
Water that gets in at the top of a chimney can run along framing, flashing and drywall before it soaks through, so a stain can appear some distance from the entry point. Flashing leaks often surface a little downhill of the chimney, while water coming down the flue tends to show at the damper or in the firebox.
Our pros use the stain as a starting point and then work outward and upward. That keeps you from paying to fix whatever part of the roof happens to sit above the stain.
A cap that leaks at its own fasteners
A multi-flue cap fastens to the crown with flanges and masonry anchors, and one manufacturer's instructions keep each flange edge at least an inch from the crown edge. Anchors set too close to the edge can crack the crown and open a new leak.
Our specialists check how the cap is mounted as well as whether it covers the flue. If the fasteners are the problem, they reset the cap with sealed anchors on sound concrete.
On any service we offer
Cap, crown or flashing, the leak fix is 10% off within 72 hours of the visit.
