What a Chimney Leak Repair in Ruskin Involves
Local leak specialists, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every repair we make.
An uncapped flue takes rain straight in
Without a cap, the top of the flue is simply open to the weather. Rain drops onto the smoke shelf, the damper and the firebox floor, and a gusty storm drives even more in at an angle.
A properly sized cap keeps most of that water out. Section R1003.9.3 of the Florida Building Code, Residential keeps the open area under a masonry chimney's rain cap at four times the flue outlet or more, so the cap sheds rain and the smoke still gets out. Our pros size the cap to your flue.
Water piling up behind a wide chimney
Everything the roof above collects runs into the uphill face of the chimney, and in a downpour it can stand there. For chimneys wider than 30 inches, section R903.2.2 of the Florida residential code requires a cricket on the ridge side to divert that flow around the masonry.
Leaks at the back of a wide chimney often trace to back flashing that is too short or to a missing cricket. Our pros measure the chimney, and a cricket is quoted as its own job where one is needed.
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 Ruskin, 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.
A cracked flue tile near the top
The top flue tile takes sun, rain and the heat of every fire. When it cracks, water can get between the tile and the masonry and run down inside the chimney.
Our pros look at the top tile and its joint with the crown during the leak inspection. A cracked top tile is repaired or replaced as a separate line, and anything deeper in the flue is explained before any lining work is proposed.
