The leak came back after the last patch

Had the chimney patched before, and the stain came back? That's frustrating, and it tends to mean the patch covered a symptom. Roofing cement on the flashing, a sealer painted over a cracked crown or a bead of caulk around the flue can all hide the real problem for a season.

Old patches don't fool our specialists: they find what's actually letting water in, remove what's in the way, and make the repair properly. They'll show you what the earlier fix missed and why. Our workmanship warranty stands behind the permanent repair. Speak with one of our local pros about the leak that keeps coming back in Lawtey at (352) 675-6366.

Our Lawtey coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Lawtey is about 31 miles away in a direct line.

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 Lawtey. 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.

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.

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.

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.
