A leak that only shows in wind-driven rain

Dry in a gentle shower but damp after a windy storm? Rain blown sideways hits the chimney face and finds gaps that straight-down rain doesn't touch, like a short flashing lap or an open mortar joint on the weather side.

Tell us which storm brought the stain and whether it has happened before. That information can help guide the inspection, although it does not prove which joint failed. You can discuss the findings and review the proposed scope before booking work. Call (352) 675-6366 to arrange a visit in Andrews.

Local Conditions

Standard metals and ponded water

Flashing and chase covers from the maker's standard line hold up well against the air itself in Andrews. What rusts them through is water ponding on flat spots and seams. Our specialists look for low spots and rust at seams and replace covers with ones that slope water off the top. The new cover's metal and slope are written on the quote.

Understanding the limits of a water test

Some leaks need more investigation than a visual inspection can provide. Controlled water testing may be proposed to help narrow down an entry path, but the method must suit the assembly and the conditions at the home.

Before approving it, ask which area will be tested and what the result can establish. A single test may not reproduce every storm or reveal every concealed route. The next repair should follow the combined findings, with further checks explained where uncertainty remains.

Worn mortar joints carrying water

Mortar joints wear faster than brick. Once they recess, rain collects in them instead of running off, soaks in, and travels through the chimney wall. From the inside, it can look like the chimney is leaking everywhere at once.

Every face gets its joints checked, the side facing the weather most closely. Repointing raked-out joints with a mortar matched to the brick stops most of that water. It's the fix that can make a repellent unnecessary, and it lasts far longer than any coating. The repointing is priced by section. The weather side can need it while the sheltered side doesn't, and pricing by section keeps you from paying for sound joints.

Wind-driven rain and the weather side

Rain blown sideways hits one face of the chimney hard and finds gaps that vertical rain misses: a short flashing lap, an open joint high on the chimney, a crown edge without a drip.

Keep a note of when water appears, the room affected and any recent repair. Information from several rain events can be more useful than assuming the stain marks the exact entry point. Our pros consider those observations with the accessible condition and explain any next investigation proposed.

FAQs

Leaks, stains and drips, answered

Can you stop the water before the full repair?

Yes. Our pros can fit a temporary cover over the flue top to keep rain out until the permanent repair. It's priced separately and comes off on the repair day.

Could the water be coming from my furnace flue?

It can. Exhaust from a gas furnace or water heater condenses in an oversized flue and runs down like a leak. Our pros check for it, and the cure is a liner matched to the appliance.
