Every Way Water Gets Into a Chimney
No lump-sum waterproofing, just each entry point and its repair, priced in writing.
A rusted chase top on a framed chimney
A framed chimney is closed at the top by a sheet-metal chase top. One fireplace maker's installation manual calls for that top to slope down and away from the pipe opening, so water runs off instead of pooling.
Flat or sagging tops hold water, rust through and drip into the chase. Our pros check the slope, the seams and the collar around the pipe, and a replacement is priced as its own repair.
The storm collar around the chimney pipe
Where the metal chimney pipe passes through the chase top, a storm collar sheds water away from the opening. One manufacturer's installation instructions call for sealing the storm collar where it meets the pipe.
A loose or unsealed collar lets water run down the outside of the pipe into the chase. Our specialists reseat and reseal it with parts that suit the chimney system, following the maker's instructions where the label can be read.
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.
Checking the repair after the next storms
The real test of a leak repair is the next hard rain. Our team asks you to watch the spot where water used to show and to note anything new.
If the area stays dry, the interior can be finished. If water appears, we compare its place and timing with the original leak and come back to look, because a second path sometimes shows itself only after the first is closed.
