A ceiling stain that keeps growing

Watching a brown ring near the chimney get a little bigger after every storm? That's an active leak, and the water is soaking the wood and drywall above before it shows. Pencil a line around the stain's edge today, so you can tell after the next rain whether it's spreading.

From the attic back to the chimney, the stain gets traced, the entry point is found from the roof, and the fix goes in. Then our specialists look at what the water reached inside. The repair and any interior work are priced separately, and your quote says who handles the drywall and paint. Call our pros about the growing stain in Tioga: (352) 675-6366.

Measured directly, about 8 miles separate Tioga from the Gainesville reference point. Tioga falls in the Alachua County part of our service area.

Local Conditions

The shaded side stays wet

On a home in Tioga, the side of the chimney that sees little sun dries slowly after rain. Moss and algae can grow there, holding moisture against the brick and flashing. Our pros clean the growth off carefully, check the joints and flashing underneath, and repoint any mortar the constant damp has softened. Letting more light and air reach that side helps it dry between rains.

Our Process

Giving the masonry time to dry

Brick, mortar and plaster hold water like a sponge, and they release it slowly. After a leak is stopped, the wall may stay damp for weeks, and stains can even darken for a while as the water moves through.

How wet the masonry was decides how long, and our pros give you an estimate of the wait. Painting or patching the inside wall too soon traps the moisture, and the stain comes back. If you're unsure whether it's drying or still leaking, mark the stain's edge and watch it; a stain that's still growing after the repair means a call back to us. Our specialists can check in after a few weeks if you're unsure.

Water repellent after the repairs

Once cracks are sealed and joints repointed, a water repellent can cut down the rain the brick takes in. The right kind is breathable: it keeps liquid water out while letting water vapor escape from inside the masonry.

Film-forming sealers that trap moisture can do more harm than good, holding water in the brick and pushing salts to flake the surface. Our specialists recommend a repellent only after the repairs, and only where testing shows the brick is absorbing too much. It's priced as an optional step on the quote. The repellent's name and the maker's reapplication advice go on the quote.

Sealing the flue top against rain

Sealing dampers put a gasketed lid on top of the flue, opened and closed by a cable that hangs down to the firebox. Shut between fires, it keeps rain out of the flue entirely, along with animals and outside air.

For a chimney whose throat damper has rusted from years of water, it can replace the old damper and stop the rain in one step. Our pros fit it to the flue size and show you how to open it before every fire. It's priced alongside a standard cap, so you can compare the two. It must be fully open whenever a fire is lit.

FAQs

When your chimney leaks in Tioga

Can you fix a leaking chimney in Tioga?

Yes, and the sooner the better once water's getting in. Our pros work in Tioga and all over Alachua County, and they trace a leak from the cap down on your free inspection. Note where the stain or drip shows up before we arrive.

Will sealing the brick stop the leak?

Only if the brick itself is the path, and only after cracks and joints are repaired. Our pros test how fast the brick absorbs water before recommending a breathable repellent.
