Finding the leak instead of guessing

Why do so many chimney leaks come back after a repair? Because the repair went on the wrong spot. A chimney can let water in through the crown, the cap, the flashing, the brick or the mortar, and a stain inside can show up well away from the entry.

The visible condition helps decide where to investigate next. If access or weather makes the source uncertain, our pros explain the additional checks they recommend before proposing a repair. Describe the leak at your home in Jonesville when you call (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Rain is the whole story in Jonesville

Rain finding a gap is what causes chimney leaks in Jonesville, where salt isn't a factor. That makes the search simpler: crown, cap, brick and mortar, and flashing. Our pros work through those in order from the roof down, and they don't stop at the first problem, since a chimney can have two gaps at once. Each source is priced on its own line once it's confirmed.

Checking the sources from the roof down

Water goes downhill, so our pros look for a leak's entry from the top of the chimney down. First the cap and the open flue, then the crown and the seal around the flue tile, then the brick and mortar, and finally the flashing around the chimney at the roof.

Checking in that order avoids fixing a lower problem while the real entry sits above it. It also catches chimneys with two entries at once. Each finding is noted with how likely it is to be the cause, so the repair plan starts with the most probable source and doesn't miss the others.

An open flue lets rain straight in

A flue without a cap is a funnel. Rain falls straight down it onto the smoke shelf and damper, rusts the metal, softens the mortar at the back of the firebox and leaves wet ash that smells.

A cap sized to the flue, with a lid that overhangs enough to turn wind-driven rain, closes it off, and the damper and firebox get checked for water damage at the same visit. It's one of the simplest leak repairs there is, and one of the quickest. If the cap is there but damaged, it's replaced or refastened. The damper gets a look for rust at the same time.

Leaks that begin after a new roof

Leaking that begins after a reroof points to the flashing. Old base pieces reused and bent out of shape, step flashing missing from a few courses, or counter flashing that no longer laps over the new roofing are what our pros look for.

Where the new roofing meets the chimney is where our pros start, and they fix the chimney side, including counter flashing set into the mortar. If the roofing around the chimney needs adjusting, your roofer handles that part, and the quote says so. Working it out together is faster than a back-and-forth between contractors. The sooner it's caught, the less the new roof deck soaks up.

FAQs

Before the leak repair day

Who fixes the drywall and paint?

We repair the chimney and its parts inside the house, like the firebox and damper. Drywall, plaster and paint go to another trade, and the quote says who handles what and when the wall is dry enough.

Will the ceiling stain fade once the leak stops?

Masonry and plaster can take weeks to dry once the leak is stopped. Our specialists tell you what to expect and when it's safe to repaint. A stain that keeps growing after the repair means a call back to us.
