A cover for tonight, the fix for good

Is rain on the way and the permanent repair can't happen until next week? A temporary cover over the chimney top keeps water out in the meantime.

A strapped or weighted cover goes over the flue and whatever can be sealed is sealed, without making the permanent repair harder, and the fireplace stays out of use while it's on. The cover has its own price and comes off on the repair day. It's a simple way to stop the damage from spreading while you wait. Reserve a temporary cover and a permanent fix in Raleigh by calling (352) 675-6366.

Raleigh is on our Levy County list of places we serve. When the 2020 Census counted Raleigh, it found 357 residents.

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 Raleigh. 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.

Flashing leaks at the roof line

At the roof line, metal flashing seals the joint in layers: base pieces tied into the roofing, and counter flashing coming down from the brick over them. A lifted edge, a rusted piece, a short lap or a cracked sealant bead lets water in right at the roof line.

Stains right beside the chimney on the ceiling and wet roof boards in the attic point this way. Our specialists check all four sides and the cricket or back pan behind the chimney. Resealing sound metal is a smaller job than replacing it, and you'll see both priced when it's close.

Damage inside the house after a leak

Before anyone finds it, a leak can reach drywall, plaster, ceiling boards, insulation and trim. Our specialists look at what the water reached and describe it on the quote, so nothing is overlooked once the chimney is dry.

Chimney parts inside the house, such as the firebox, damper and smoke chamber, are ours to repair. Drywall, plaster, paint, flooring and insulation belong to other trades, and the quote says so clearly. Knowing who handles what, and when the wall is dry enough, keeps the interior repair from being done twice. Our pros also note when the wall looks dry enough for that work to begin, so it's done once.

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

Who fixes the drywall and paint?

We repair the chimney and its parts inside the house, like the firebox and damper. Drywall, plaster and paint go to another trade, and the quote says who handles what and when the wall is dry enough.

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 Raleigh at (352) 675-6366.
