A leak that only shows in wind-driven rain

Dry in a gentle shower but damp after a windy storm? Rain blown sideways hits the chimney face and finds gaps that straight-down rain doesn't touch, like a short flashing lap or an open mortar joint on the weather side.

Tell us which storm brought the stain and whether it has happened before. That information can help guide the inspection, although it does not prove which joint failed. You can discuss the findings and review the proposed scope before booking work. Call (352) 675-6366 to arrange a visit in Spring Ridge.

Old roofs and old flashing

When the roof on a home in Spring Ridge is getting old, the chimney flashing tends to be too, and a leak at the chimney can be the first sign. Our specialists tell you if the flashing can be resealed to buy time or should be replaced with the next roof, and they'll coordinate with your roofer. Resealing and replacement are priced side by side.

An open flue lets rain straight in

A flue without a cap is a funnel. Rain falls straight down it onto the smoke shelf and damper, rusts the metal, softens the mortar at the back of the firebox and leaves wet ash that smells.

A cap sized to the flue, with a lid that overhangs enough to turn wind-driven rain, closes it off, and the damper and firebox get checked for water damage at the same visit. It's one of the simplest leak repairs there is, and one of the quickest. If the cap is there but damaged, it's replaced or refastened. The damper gets a look for rust at the same time.

Condensation that looks like a leak

A masonry flue venting a gas furnace or water heater can produce its own water. Exhaust from those appliances carries moisture, and when it cools in a flue that's too large or unlined, it condenses on the walls and runs down.

The result looks like a rain leak: stained masonry, crumbling mortar, white deposits and damp patches. The clue is timing, since condensation shows up when the appliance runs, rain or not. Our pros check for it before blaming the crown or flashing. The cure is a liner matched to the appliance, priced up front. Our pros can tell the two apart by where the staining sits and when it appears.

The storm collar around a metal chimney

Where the metal chimney pipe of a factory-built fireplace passes through the chase cover, a storm collar sits around the pipe to shed water away from the opening. The chimney maker's instructions say how it's fitted and sealed, and which openings must stay unsealed for ventilation.

A storm collar that's slipped, missing or sealed the wrong way lets water run down the pipe into the chase. Our pros check it against the maker's instructions, reseat and reseal it properly, and replace it with the listed part if it's damaged. Sealing the wrong gap can harm the chimney, so the manual comes first.
