Chimney Leaks, Traced and Repaired
Cap, crown, flashing and walls are all checked first, and the plan waits for your approval.
The joint where the flue tile leaves the crown
Where the flue tile rises out of the crown there should be a flexible joint, so the tile and the crown can move separately. Brick Industry Association Technical Note 19B also calls for the flue liner to extend at least two inches above the crown.
When that joint cracks open, water runs down the outside of the tile inside the chimney. Our pros reseal or recut the joint as part of a leak repair when it is the path, often without touching the rest of the crown.
Decorative shrouds on factory-built chimneys
Some metal chimneys have been fitted with a decorative shroud over the termination. Florida's residential code, in section R1005.2, permits one on a factory-built chimney only when it is listed and labeled for that exact system.
An unlisted shroud can trap rain and debris, and it can change how the chimney performs. Our pros identify what is on top of your chimney and explain the options if it does not belong there.
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.
Putting the repairs in the right order
The order of work matters with a chimney leak. Openings at the top and the roof line come first, masonry repairs next, a breathable water repellent after that if it is still needed, and interior finishing last.
Our team lays out that order in your estimate. Each step is then built on dry, sound work, and nothing gets painted over while water is still coming in. Coatings in particular go on only when the masonry is dry, and a repaired chimney needs time to get there.

Leak repairs come 10% off for 72 hours after the free inspection.
