Tracing and fixing chimney leaks in Cypress Springs
Our team in Cypress Springs walks every homeowner through details like these.
Water that appears a day or two later
When a stain grows a day or two after the weather clears, the water has been travelling through the structure on its way to you. It may run along a rafter, soak through a masonry wall or collect on a smoke shelf before it shows. In Cypress Springs, our crew follows that path backward from where it surfaced. Expect us to check the attic as well as the roof, because the route often shows there first. A delayed leak is also a reason not to judge a repair by one dry day, so we explain how to watch for it afterward.
A wide chimney with no cricket behind it
Water running down a roof piles up against the uphill side of a chimney. The state residential code, section R903.2.2, calls for a cricket or saddle on the ridge side of any chimney more than thirty inches wide, measured across the slope. Without one, the back of a wide chimney can hold water after every storm. We measure your Cypress Springs chimney and explain how adding a cricket would divert the flow around it. Building a cricket involves framing and roofing, so we explain how the work is shared if your roofer is involved.
Old steel flashing that has rusted through
Painted or galvanized steel flashing eventually rusts, beginning at bends, fastener holes and places where water sits. Pinholes can let water through long before the metal looks badly damaged from the ground. Brick Industry Association guidance calls for corrosion-resistant sheet metal, and at your Cypress Springs home we name the metal we would use for the replacement and explain why it suits your roof. Aluminum, copper and stainless steel are among the options, each with its own fastener and contact needs.

Leak repair answers for Cypress Springs homeowners
If your question is not here, our Cypress Springs team is a phone call away.
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.
Could the water be condensation instead of rain?
It can be. Drips on dry days or while an appliance runs suggest moisture forming in the flue. We check the timing, the flue size and the lining before recommending a repair.
