A leak that started after a new roof

Chimney started leaking right after the roof was replaced? The flashing around it may have been reused, bent coming off, or put back without the counter flashing lapping over it properly.

How the new roofing meets the chimney, along each side and at the back, shows where the water is getting through. If the roofing itself needs adjusting, your roofer handles that; the chimney side, counter flashing and mortar are ours. The quote spells out who does what, so the fix doesn't turn into finger-pointing. Speak with our pros about the leak after your reroof in Fairbanks by calling (352) 675-6366.

Fairbanks is set inland from Florida's sea coasts. About 6 miles, measured point to point, lie between Fairbanks and the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Storm rain driven sideways

A leak that appears only in stronger rain still deserves investigation. At your home in Fairbanks, the accessible joints, top and roof connection can be considered alongside what you observed. If the source remains uncertain, our pros explain what additional checks could help before pricing a particular repair.

Check what got wet

Temporary covers that hold until repair day

When a crown has split or a cap is gone, water pours straight into the flue with every rain. A temporary cover stops it: a sheet of heavy material or a flat cover strapped or weighted over the flue top and sealed at the edges.

It's designed to come off cleanly without damaging anything, so the permanent repair can go ahead as planned. The fireplace stays out of use while the cover is on, since it blocks the flue. Our specialists check that it's secure against wind and price it as its own item on the quote, separate from the repair.

Flashing leaks at the roof line

At the roof line, metal flashing seals the joint in layers: base pieces tied into the roofing, and counter flashing coming down from the brick over them. A lifted edge, a rusted piece, a short lap or a cracked sealant bead lets water in right at the roof line.

Stains right beside the chimney on the ceiling and wet roof boards in the attic point this way. Our specialists check all four sides and the cricket or back pan behind the chimney. Resealing sound metal is a smaller job than replacing it, and you'll see both priced when it's close.

What water does inside the firebox

Water reaching the firebox rusts the damper and its frame, soaks the ash into a sludge that smells, and softens the mortar at the back wall. Over time, firebrick can loosen and the damper can seize.

After addressing water entry, our specialists assess the damper, firebox joints and remaining deposits. Repairs depend on the condition found, and fresh refractory work needs its specified curing time. Cleaning may reduce odor without resolving every cause. Any proposed top-sealing damper must suit the appliance's venting requirements.
