Wet insulation in the attic
Found damp insulation or dark stains on the roof boards next to the chimney in the attic? That's where a chimney leak shows first, well before a ceiling stain appears.
Which side of the chimney the water runs down tells our specialists where to look on the roof, and the entry gets fixed there. Wet insulation should come out and be replaced once the leak is stopped, since it stays damp and heavy. Your quote says who handles the insulation and whether any wood needs replacing. Ask our pros about the wet attic in Inglis at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Windy rain near the coast
The timing of a leak in Inglis can help with its assessment. Note whether the wet area grows during rain or appears afterward, and tell us about any work already attempted. These details help frame the questions for an inspection without assuming which side of the chimney failed.
Our Process
Your leak repair, from bucket to warranty
-
Stop the water
If it's pouring in, a temporary cover goes over the flue top until the repair day.
-
Find the entry
Everything is checked from the cap down, with a water test where the source isn't obvious.
-
Fix it for good
The crown, cap, flashing or joints get the lasting repair, given a written price first.
-
Check what got wet
Firebox, attic and walls get a final look, and you'll hear who repairs what, and when.

What to do while you wait for the repair
Waiting for the repair doesn't have to mean more damage. Put a bucket or towels in the firebox, keep the fireplace cold, and pull rugs and furniture away from the hearth and the wet wall.
If water is running near outlets or light fixtures, switch that circuit off at the panel. Take photos of the stain and mark its edge with a pencil, so you can tell if it grows. Don't climb onto the roof to cover the chimney yourself; a wet roof is dangerous. Our pros can fit a temporary cover safely until the permanent fix is made. The fewer things the water can reach, the smaller the repair list afterwards.
Chase covers that pond and rust
On a factory-built fireplace, the top of the framed chase is a sheet-metal cover with a collar where the chimney pipe comes through. A flat cover lets water pond; ponded water rusts the metal, and once it rusts through, water runs straight into the chase.
Low spots, rust and loose seams on the cover all get checked, and so does the framing inside the chase, for water or rot. A new cover made with a slope and a proper collar sheds water off the top. Any rotted framing inside the chase is priced separately, since it has to be fixed before the new cover goes on.
White bloom as the chimney dries
As a wet chimney dries out after a leak repair, white powdery deposits can bloom on the brick, inside and out. That's salt carried to the surface by the water leaving the masonry, and it's a normal part of drying.
A stiff dry brush takes most of it off. If it keeps coming back months after the repair, water is still getting in somewhere, and our pros will come back to look. Cleaning it with harsh acid can damage brick, so it's worth asking before you try anything stronger than a brush and water. Bloom that fades over a few months is the chimney drying, which is what you want to see.

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.
Will sealing the brick stop the leak?
Only if the brick itself is the path, and only after cracks and joints are repaired. Our pros test how fast the brick absorbs water before recommending a breathable repellent.
