How We Track Down a Chimney Leak
Approve a leak repair within 72 hours of the free inspection and save 10%. Here is how our pros find and fix the source.
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.
Layers of old patches
Leaking chimneys often carry the history of earlier fixes: tar on the flashing, caulk in the crown, paint on the brick. Each layer can hide the edge or crack that is still letting water in.
Our specialists remove what hides the evidence where it is safe to do so, then repair the part underneath. You see what we found and the price before any removal beyond the inspection.
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.
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 Pebble Creek without guesswork.
