What a Chimney Leak Repair in Thonotosassa Involves
On a leak visit in Thonotosassa, these are the parts we check, test and repair.
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.
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.
Sealant joints on the chimney
Sealant belongs in a few joints on a chimney: the gap between the flue tile and the crown, the top edge of counter flashing and the seams of a metal chase top. Technical Note 19B names polysulfide, butyl and silicone sealants for chimney joints and advises against oil-based caulks.
A cracked or shrunken bead in one of those joints is a small repair with a big effect. Our pros cut out the old sealant, prepare the joint and reseal it with a product suited to the surfaces it joins.
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 Thonotosassa without guesswork.
