How we handle chimney leak repair in Colonialtown South
Before you approve a leak repair in Colonialtown South, these are worth knowing.
Keeping a simple record of the leak
A short record helps more than you might expect. Note the date, how long it rained, the wind if you noticed it and where the water appeared. A few entries covering different storms can reveal a pattern that one visit cannot. If you have been keeping notes at your Colonialtown South home, share them when we arrive. We compare them with what we find on the roof. Even a line or two per storm can show whether the leak follows the wind, the length of the rain or something else.
A rusted chase cover on a framed chimney
Framed chimneys are closed at the top by a metal chase cover, and a rusted one is a frequent source of water near a factory-built fireplace. Pinholes open where rain has sat on the metal, and water then drips inside the chase. For a chase in Colonialtown South, we check the cover for rust, dents and loose edges and explain whether a new cover, measured to the chase, is the right fix. A new cover is made to the outside size of the chase with a raised collar and a drip edge, so water leaves every side.
A flat chase top that holds water
A chase cover cut as a flat sheet tends to sag in the middle, where rain collects and rusts the metal from the top down. One widely installed fireplace maker's manual wants the chase top pitched downward, away from where the pipe comes through. When your Colonialtown South chase has a flat top with standing water, the leak repair is usually a replacement cover shaped to drain. Cross-breaks or a pitched top give the sheet enough fall to drain, and the choice depends on the size of the chase.
