Old stains in a house you're buying

Buying a home with water stains near the chimney? The question is whether the leak is still active or was fixed years ago. Old stains can look alarming and mean little, while a fresh one can mean trouble.

The attic, the chimney top and the stain itself can show signs of recent water, such as damp wood, fresh rust or soft drywall, and our pros will tell you what they believe is going on. You'll get the findings and any repair prices up front, handy for your negotiation. Ask for a pre-purchase leak check in Starke at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Rain is the whole story in Starke

Rain finding a gap is what causes chimney leaks in Starke, where salt isn't a factor. That makes the search simpler: crown, cap, brick and mortar, and flashing. Our pros work through those in order from the roof down, and they don't stop at the first problem, since a chimney can have two gaps at once. Each source is priced on its own line once it's confirmed.

Our Process

Everything is checked from the cap down, with a water test where the source isn't obvious.
Fix it for good

Check what got wet

What water does inside the firebox

Water reaching the firebox rusts the damper and its frame, soaks the ash into a sludge that smells, and softens the mortar at the back wall. Over time, firebrick can loosen and the damper can seize.

After addressing water entry, our specialists assess the damper, firebox joints and remaining deposits. Repairs depend on the condition found, and fresh refractory work needs its specified curing time. Cleaning may reduce odor without resolving every cause. Any proposed top-sealing damper must suit the appliance's venting requirements.

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.

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

Leaks, stains and drips, answered

Will the ceiling stain fade once the leak stops?

Masonry and plaster can take weeks to dry once the leak is stopped. Our specialists tell you what to expect and when it's safe to repaint. A stain that keeps growing after the repair means a call back to us.
