Chimney leak repair explained for Aloma homeowners
How the job runs in Aloma, and where your choices come in.
Eroded mortar joints that let water in
Mortar joints wear faster than brick, and once they recess or crack, rain runs into the wall instead of off it. Sand collecting on the roof below the chimney is often the first sign. On your Aloma chimney we check joint depth and find where the worn joints line up with the leak. Repointing that section restores the joints without disturbing brick that is still sound. The new mortar is matched to the brick, so the repair neither traps water nor cracks the brick edges.
Lifting and resetting roof tiles
Replacing flashing on a tile roof means lifting the tiles around the chimney, which are fragile and sometimes hard to match. We plan that work carefully, note any tiles that are already cracked and explain how replacements will be sourced if some break during removal. On a tile roof in Aloma, the goal is to leave the roof around the chimney as sound as the flashing we install. Replacement tiles are matched as closely as the available stock allows, and you see any difference before they go on.
What caulk can and cannot fix
Sealant has a place in a chimney leak repair, at the joint between the crown and flue tile, at flashing laps and at the storm collar on a metal chimney. It cannot replace missing metal or close a wide crack for long. At your Aloma home we use sealant where the design calls for it and explain where a more permanent repair is needed instead. Where caulk is used, it is a product made for masonry and metal, applied to clean, dry surfaces.

Leak repair answers for Aloma homeowners
Our family-owned team in Aloma answers the questions that come up most on leak jobs.
What if the roof is leaking and not the chimney?
We check the surrounding roof as part of the inspection. If the water is entering through the roof itself, we tell you plainly so the right trade can fix it.
Do you need to get into the attic?
If there is safe access, it helps a great deal. The attic often shows exactly where water is running along the chimney. If access is not possible, we note it and work from the roof and the room.
