More than one source at once

Fixed one leak and still got wet? Chimneys can leak from two places at the same time, such as a cracked crown and a loose flashing lap, and fixing one only reduces the water.

One visit covers every possible source instead of stopping at the first problem found. When there's more than one, you'll see each listed with its price and its share of the blame, so you can fix them together or in order. Doing them together saves a second trip up the roof. Reserve a full leak inspection in Yankeetown by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Salt in the leak picture in Yankeetown

Close to salt water in Yankeetown, a leak does double damage. Salt carried in with the water crystallizes in the brick as it dries, flaking the faces, and it rusts the damper, cap and flashing from the inside. Our pros fix the entry, then check the metal parts for salt rust and the brick for flaking, and they choose stainless or copper for any metal they replace.

Understanding the limits of a water test

Some leaks need more investigation than a visual inspection can provide. Controlled water testing may be proposed to help narrow down an entry path, but the method must suit the assembly and the conditions at the home.

Before approving it, ask which area will be tested and what the result can establish. A single test may not reproduce every storm or reveal every concealed route. The next repair should follow the combined findings, with further checks explained where uncertainty remains.

Leaks that start at the crown

Up top, the crown is the concrete cap over the brick. A crown that's cracked, built flat, or finished level with the brick face with no overhang sends water down into the masonry and along the outside of the flue tile.

Cracks, slope and edges get checked, along with the joint where the flue tile comes through, which should have a flexible seal rather than rigid mortar. Hairline cracks can take a flexible crown coating made for the job. Wider cracks, loose pieces or a flat crown call for rebuilding it with a proper slope and drip edge.

White bloom as the chimney dries

As a wet chimney dries out after a leak repair, white powdery deposits can bloom on the brick, inside and out. That's salt carried to the surface by the water leaving the masonry, and it's a normal part of drying.

A stiff dry brush takes most of it off. If it keeps coming back months after the repair, water is still getting in somewhere, and our pros will come back to look. Cleaning it with harsh acid can damage brick, so it's worth asking before you try anything stronger than a brush and water. Bloom that fades over a few months is the chimney drying, which is what you want to see.

FAQs

What to know about a leaking chimney

Can you stop the water before the full repair?

Yes. Our pros can fit a temporary cover over the flue top to keep rain out until the permanent repair. It's priced separately and comes off on the repair day.

Why did my last leak repair fail?

An earlier repair may have missed a source, or another component may now need attention. Our pros assess the present condition and discuss further investigation if the water path is unclear.
