Dripping into the fireplace tonight

Hearing water drip onto the damper or seeing a puddle in the firebox right now? Set a bucket or towel in the firebox, keep the fireplace cold, and slide rugs and chairs away from the hearth. If water is running down an inside wall near outlets or lights, switch off that circuit at the panel until it's dry.

Then call us. Our pros can fit a temporary cover over the flue top to stop the water until the permanent repair, and they'll come back to find exactly where it's getting in. Reach a local leak specialist about the drip in Manatee Road: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Dish and panel mounts near the chimney

A satellite dish, solar panel or antenna fastened near the chimney on a home in Manatee Road can put screws through the flashing or crowd the counter flashing joint. Our pros check any mount near the chimney and reseal penetrations that let water in, and they'll tell you if a mount should be moved by its installer. Each resealed penetration is noted on the quote.

Understanding the limits of a water test

Some leaks need more investigation than a visual inspection can provide. Controlled water testing may be proposed to help narrow down an entry path, but the method must suit the assembly and the conditions at the home.

Before approving it, ask which area will be tested and what the result can establish. A single test may not reproduce every storm or reveal every concealed route. The next repair should follow the combined findings, with further checks explained where uncertainty remains.

Water repellent after the repairs

Once cracks are sealed and joints repointed, a water repellent can cut down the rain the brick takes in. The right kind is breathable: it keeps liquid water out while letting water vapor escape from inside the masonry.

Film-forming sealers that trap moisture can do more harm than good, holding water in the brick and pushing salts to flake the surface. Our specialists recommend a repellent only after the repairs, and only where testing shows the brick is absorbing too much. It's priced as an optional step on the quote. The repellent's name and the maker's reapplication advice go on the quote.

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.

An earlier repair may have missed a source, or another component may now need attention. Our pros assess the present condition and discuss further investigation if the water path is unclear.

Do you stand behind a leak repair?

We do. The repair comes with our workmanship warranty, and your quote records what was fixed and where. If that spot lets water in again, call us and our pros will come back to look. Arrange a free leak inspection in Manatee Road at (352) 675-6366.
