Water that isn't rain at all

Water inside a chimney that vents a gas furnace or water heater can come from the exhaust itself. When warm, moist exhaust cools in an oversized or unlined flue, it condenses on the walls and runs down, staining the masonry and looking just like a rain leak.

Before the crown or flashing gets the blame, our specialists check for that, since the fix is different: a liner matched to that appliance. You'll hear which kind of water you have and what stops it, with the price up front. Talk to one of our local pros about water in an appliance flue in Lake Butler: (352) 675-6366.

Lake Butler is home to Union County Courthouse. In a straight line, Lake Butler lies about 23 miles from the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Leaks in a chimney nobody uses

A fireplace in Lake Butler that sits unlit still has a chimney standing in the rain. A leak there can go unnoticed for years, soaking the wall and attic around it. Our pros check idle chimneys the same way as busy ones and fix the entry, so an unused chimney doesn't quietly damage the house. The flashing and crown get the same checks as a busy chimney's.

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.

The storm collar around a metal chimney

Where the metal chimney pipe of a factory-built fireplace passes through the chase cover, a storm collar sits around the pipe to shed water away from the opening. The chimney maker's instructions say how it's fitted and sealed, and which openings must stay unsealed for ventilation.

A storm collar that's slipped, missing or sealed the wrong way lets water run down the pipe into the chase. Our pros check it against the maker's instructions, reseat and reseal it properly, and replace it with the listed part if it's damaged. Sealing the wrong gap can harm the chimney, so the manual comes first.

Giving the masonry time to dry

Brick, mortar and plaster hold water like a sponge, and they release it slowly. After a leak is stopped, the wall may stay damp for weeks, and stains can even darken for a while as the water moves through.

How wet the masonry was decides how long, and our pros give you an estimate of the wait. Painting or patching the inside wall too soon traps the moisture, and the stain comes back. If you're unsure whether it's drying or still leaking, mark the stain's edge and watch it; a stain that's still growing after the repair means a call back to us. Our specialists can check in after a few weeks if you're unsure.

Two entries at once, such as a cracked crown and a worn flashing lap, are entirely possible. Fix one, and the leak slows but doesn't stop, which makes it look like the repair failed.

Every likely source is checked before anything is recommended, and when there's more than one, the quote lists each with its price and its part in the problem. You can fix them together, which saves a second setup on the roof, or in order of urgency. Either way, nothing is left out of the picture. It's the reason our pros finish the whole inspection before quoting.

FAQs

Leaks, stains and drips, answered

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.
