Brick that drinks in water

Sometimes the leak isn't a gap at all. Worn mortar joints and porous brick can soak up enough rain to carry water through the chimney wall and into the house.

The joints come first, since repointing worn mortar fixes the cause instead of coating over it. Where the brick itself is soaking up water, a breathable water repellent applied after the repairs can help, and our pros can test how fast the brick absorbs water before recommending one. You'll get the reasoning and prices on the quote. Check with our specialists about brick soaking through in Newberry by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Appliance flues and hidden water

If your chimney in Newberry vents a gas furnace or water heater, condensation in an oversized flue can soak the masonry just like a leak. Our specialists check for it before blaming the crown or flashing, since the fix is a properly sized liner rather than a roof repair. The liner's size comes from the appliance maker's instructions. Our pros can tell condensation from rain by where the staining sits.

Temporary covers that hold until repair day

When a crown has split or a cap is gone, water pours straight into the flue with every rain. A temporary cover stops it: a sheet of heavy material or a flat cover strapped or weighted over the flue top and sealed at the edges.

It's designed to come off cleanly without damaging anything, so the permanent repair can go ahead as planned. The fireplace stays out of use while the cover is on, since it blocks the flue. Our specialists check that it's secure against wind and price it as its own item on the quote, separate from the repair.

Chase covers that pond and rust

On a factory-built fireplace, the top of the framed chase is a sheet-metal cover with a collar where the chimney pipe comes through. A flat cover lets water pond; ponded water rusts the metal, and once it rusts through, water runs straight into the chase.

Low spots, rust and loose seams on the cover all get checked, and so does the framing inside the chase, for water or rot. A new cover made with a slope and a proper collar sheds water off the top. Any rotted framing inside the chase is priced separately, since it has to be fixed before the new cover goes on.

Keeping track of a stain

A pencil line around the edge of a ceiling or wall stain, with the date written beside it, tells you a lot. After the next rain, a stain that has crept past the line means an active leak. One that stays put may be old or drying.

It also helps our specialists. Knowing which storms made it grow, and which didn't, points to the entry, especially for leaks that show only in wind from one direction. Photos of the stain after each storm are just as useful. Bring what you've noted to the inspection, and it'll shorten the search. Note which rooms and which storms, too.
