What a Chimney Leak Repair in Town 'n' Country Involves

You hear what was found before any repair is scheduled.

When the leak shows up tells a story

A leak that appears during every rain points to an opening that takes water directly, such as an open flue or a gap at the flashing. One that appears only after long storms suggests masonry that soaks water up slowly. One that follows wind from a single direction points to that face of the chimney.

Write down when you see water, how long after the rain started and which way the wind was blowing. Our specialists in Town 'n' Country use those notes to plan the inspection and any water test.

Water repellent comes last

A clear water repellent can reduce how much rain brick absorbs, and it is often sold as the whole fix for a leaking chimney. Brick Industry Association Technical Note 6A advises considering coatings only after brick, mortar joints and other elements are repaired.

Our pros fix the openings first. Then, if the brick still takes on water, they discuss a penetrating, vapor-permeable repellent, the kind the technical note prefers, priced as a separate line.

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.

Using the fireplace during a leak

Wet masonry, a rusted damper or loose debris in the flue should be checked before the next fire, and a fire will not dry out a leaking chimney. Rust flakes or debris on the grate are another sign the flue should be looked at from the top before any fire.

Our team tells you on the inspection visit whether the fireplace can be used while you wait for the repair, and what, if anything, has to be fixed first.

Once the source is found, book within 72 hours and the repair is 10% off.
