How we handle chimney leak repair in Fullers
What our pros check and why, on leak repairs across Fullers.
Damage at the hearth and the floor
Water that reaches the hearth can loosen tiles, stain grout and soak the flooring around the fireplace. Warped boards or lifting tiles near the hearth are a sign the leak has been going on for some time. We note that damage at your Fullers home and separate it from the entry repair on the estimate. Stopping the water comes first, and the hearth and floor repairs follow once everything has dried. If the subfloor feels soft, we note it so a flooring contractor can check it once the leak is fixed.
Chimney flashing on a tile roof
Concrete and clay tile roofs meet a chimney differently from shingles. Florida's roofing rules, section R905.3.8, call for flashing and counterflashing at those junctions, following the code and the tile maker's instructions. Tiles cut around a chimney can crack, slip or leave gaps where water runs under them. On a tile roof in Fullers, our crew checks the flashing beneath the tiles as far as it can be reached without damaging them. If tiles must be lifted, we explain beforehand how any broken tile will be replaced.
Closing off a chimney you no longer use
If your fireplace is retired for good, the leak repair can include capping and sealing the flue so rain cannot enter. The crown and flashing still need to be sound, because water can get in there even when the flue is closed. At your Fullers home we explain how closing the chimney is done properly and what it would take to reopen it later if your plans change. A retired chimney still needs an occasional look at the top, since a cap or seal can work loose over time.

What people in Fullers ask about chimney leaks
Short answers from our chimney team in Fullers. Call for anything not covered here.
Will a sealer stop my chimney from leaking?
Only if the water is soaking through sound brick. A sealer cannot close an open crack, replace failed flashing or cover an open flue. We fix the openings first and recommend a breathable repellent only when it will help.
Do you need to get into the attic?
If there is safe access, it helps a great deal. The attic often shows exactly where water is running along the chimney. If access is not possible, we note it and work from the roof and the room.
