Chimney leak details that matter in College Park
Here is how our local team works through a chimney leak at your College Park home.
The seal where the crown meets the flue tile
Flue tile and a concrete crown move differently as they heat and cool. The Florida code calls for a caulked bond break around each flue liner, following ASTM C1283, so they can move without cracking each other. When the crown was poured hard against the tile, a crack usually opens around the flue and water drops inside. On your College Park chimney we check that joint and quote a flexible reseal where the crown is otherwise sound. The reseal uses a flexible sealant made for this joint, applied after the old hard mortar is cut back.
Counterflashing held on with sealant alone
Some chimneys have counterflashing laid against the brick face and held there with a bead of sealant instead of being set into a joint. The sealant weathers, pulls away and lets water behind the metal. When we find that detail on your College Park chimney, we explain the option of cutting a proper joint and setting the metal into it, which lasts far longer than another bead of caulk. The new metal is sealed at its laps and joints, leaving water no easy way behind it.
Where stucco meets the roof
Where a stucco chimney meets the roof is a common place for trouble. If the stucco was run down onto the roofing, or the flashing was buried in it, water can get behind the finish. Where a chimney in College Park has this detail, we check how the flashing was handled at the roofline and explain the repair, which may involve cutting back the stucco to reset proper flashing. The stucco patch and new flashing are planned together, so the finish sits above the metal instead of burying it.
