From Water Stain to Dry Chimney in Ybor City
On a leak visit in Ybor City, these are the parts we check, test and repair.
Water travels before it shows
Water that enters a chimney rarely drips straight down to where you see it. It runs along flue tiles, soaks through brick, follows framing and metal, and appears at the firebox, a ceiling corner or a wall some distance away.
That is why our pros trace the path before choosing a repair. Starting from where the water shows up inside, they work out to the top of the chimney and the roof line, checking each part that could let it in.
Spalled and cracked brick
Brick that has shed its face, or cracked through, can take in more water than sound brick. Spalled units near the top of the chimney and at the roof line are frequent signs that water has been getting in for a while.
Our pros replace failed bricks with a suitable match and repoint around them. The work is priced by area in your estimate, so you can see what the masonry side of the leak repair involves.
Why the stain is not always under the leak
Water that gets in at the top of a chimney can run along framing, flashing and drywall before it soaks through, so a stain can appear some distance from the entry point. Flashing leaks often surface a little downhill of the chimney, while water coming down the flue tends to show at the damper or in the firebox.
Our pros use the stain as a starting point and then work outward and upward. That keeps you from paying to fix whatever part of the roof happens to sit above the stain.
What your leak repair estimate shows
Your estimate lists the entry points we found and the repair for each, instead of one lump sum for waterproofing. It also notes anything we could not see and how we would check it. Where a coating is proposed, the estimate says which surfaces it covers and why the repairs come first.
Prices are upfront, there are no hidden fees, and our workmanship warranty covers the repairs we make. In Ybor City, a 10% discount applies to work you approve within 72 hours of the free inspection.
