How we handle chimney leak repair in Falcon Trace
Parts of the job our leak specialists explain to homeowners in Falcon Trace before any repair.
Leaks that follow the wind
Some chimneys leak only when rain comes from one direction. That points to the face taking the weather, such as a cracked side of the crown, an open joint in the counterflashing or a porous stretch of brick. If your Falcon Trace chimney stays dry in most storms and leaks in a few, try to recall which way the wind was blowing. It can steer the inspection straight to one side of the chimney. We compare that face with the others, since the leaking side often shows darker brick or more worn joints.
Tar and roofing cement smeared over the flashing
Thick roofing cement smeared over flashing is usually a sign of a quick fix. It may stop a leak for a season, then crack as it dries and let water back in, while hiding the real condition of the metal underneath. On a chimney in Falcon Trace covered in patches, we explain what the patches are hiding and whether the flashing below can be salvaged or needs replacing. Removing the tar lets us see whether the metal underneath is sound or rusted through.
Water repellent comes after the repairs
Brick Industry Association guidance says a coating should be considered only after the brick, mortar joints and other parts have been repaired. A repellent sprayed over open cracks or failed flashing does nothing for those paths. On your Falcon Trace chimney we fix the openings first, then explain whether a breathable repellent is worth adding to reduce how much water the sound brick absorbs. A repellent also needs a clean, dry surface, so it may go on during a later visit once repairs have cured.

What people in Falcon Trace ask about chimney leaks
Short answers from our chimney team in Falcon Trace. Call for anything not covered here.
Do you work on tile roofs?
Yes. We plan the work to protect the tiles, lift only what is needed to reach the flashing and note any tiles that were already cracked before we started.
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.
