Tracing and fixing chimney leaks in Dixie Belle
Straight answers about chimney leaks in Dixie Belle, from the people who fix them.
Siding joints on a framed chimney chase
A framed chase is covered in the same siding as the house, and its joints, trim and corners can let water in just like a wall. Swollen trim, peeling paint and soft spots low on the chase often trace back to water entering higher up. On your Dixie Belle chase we check the siding along with the cover and collar, and siding or framing repair is quoted as its own item. Where siding has soaked up water for a long time, the framing behind it is checked before new siding goes on.
Repairing flashing or replacing it
Flashing with one loose corner or a short run of failed sealant can often be repaired. Flashing that is rusted through, set in sealant instead of a mortar joint or buried under layers of patches usually needs replacing. At your Dixie Belle home we show you which case applies and why. The estimate names the metal, how the counterflashing will be set and how the roofing around it will be handled. Where the roof covering has to be lifted, that work and how the roof is protected are listed too.
Repointing the joints that leak
When worn mortar is letting water in, repointing restores the joints. The old mortar is cut back to sound material and replaced with new mortar suited to the brick. On a leaking chimney in Dixie Belle, we repoint the section that matches the leak and any joints close to failing, instead of the whole chimney, unless the wear is spread across every face. The new mortar is matched to the brick in strength and color, so the joints wear as they should.

Before your chimney leak repair in Dixie Belle
Our family-owned team in Dixie Belle answers the questions that come up most on leak jobs.
Can you fix a leak in a framed chimney chase?
Yes. Leaks in framed chimneys often start at a rusted chase cover or a loose storm collar. We inspect both, along with the chase siding, and quote each part separately.
Can you close off a chimney we never use?
Yes. Capping and sealing a retired flue keeps rain out, though the crown and flashing still need to be sound. We explain how it is done and how it could be reopened later.
