A leak that started after a new roof

Chimney started leaking right after the roof was replaced? The flashing around it may have been reused, bent coming off, or put back without the counter flashing lapping over it properly.

How the new roofing meets the chimney, along each side and at the back, shows where the water is getting through. If the roofing itself needs adjusting, your roofer handles that; the chimney side, counter flashing and mortar are ours. The quote spells out who does what, so the fix doesn't turn into finger-pointing. Speak with our pros about the leak after your reroof in Micanopy by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Trees over the roof and the crown

If trees hang over your roof in Micanopy, leaves and needles gather on the chimney crown and behind the chimney, holding rain against the concrete and the flashing long after a shower passes. Our pros clear the debris, check the crown and back flashing underneath it, and fix the cracks and gaps the trapped water has been working on. A cap with a sloped lid also keeps leaves from settling on top.

Testing how fast the brick absorbs water

Some brick soaks up rain like a sponge, and that alone can carry water through a chimney wall. A simple test shows it: a small graduated tube, known as a RILEM or Karsten tube, is sealed against the brick, filled with water, and read over time to see how quickly the brick drinks it in.

Our pros use it to compare the chimney's brick with sound brick elsewhere, and to judge whether a water repellent would help after repairs. It avoids sealing brick that doesn't need it, and it tells you if the joints or the brick are the real path.

Leaks that start at the crown

Up top, the crown is the concrete cap over the brick. A crown that's cracked, built flat, or finished level with the brick face with no overhang sends water down into the masonry and along the outside of the flue tile.

Cracks, slope and edges get checked, along with the joint where the flue tile comes through, which should have a flexible seal rather than rigid mortar. Hairline cracks can take a flexible crown coating made for the job. Wider cracks, loose pieces or a flat crown call for rebuilding it with a proper slope and drip edge.

Why our leak repairs carry a warranty

Any leak repair works only if it's aimed at the right spot. That's why our specialists find and confirm the entry before making the repair, and why they're willing to stand behind it with our workmanship warranty.

If the spot they fixed leaks again, call and they'll come back to look. If a new source shows up elsewhere on the chimney, they'll tell you and price it separately, since that's a different repair. The quote records what was done and where, so there's no confusion about what the warranty covers. That record also helps if you sell the house later.

FAQs

When your chimney leaks in Micanopy

What should I do until you arrive?

Put a bucket or towels in the firebox, keep the fireplace cold, and move rugs and furniture away from the wet area. If water is near outlets or lights, switch that circuit off at the panel.

Why did my last leak repair fail?

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.
