What goes into a leak repair in Holden Heights
Parts of the job our leak specialists explain to homeowners in Holden Heights before any repair.
Following the water trail in the attic
The attic often shows the leak path more clearly than the room below. Dark streaks on the roof deck, stained rafters beside the chimney and damp insulation all mark where water has run. When your Holden Heights home has safe attic access, we trace those marks up to the point where they begin at the chimney. That spot usually tells us whether the flashing, the cricket or the brick above is responsible. We also check whether insulation or stored items are hiding wet framing next to the chimney.
A flat or thin-edged crown
The Florida residential code, section R1003.9.1, calls for the chimney cap, the part the trade calls the crown, to slope so it sheds water. Brick Industry Association guidance also warns against feathering a poured cap to a thin edge. Many older crowns were trowelled flat or thin, and water sits on them after each storm. We check the slope and edge thickness on your Holden Heights chimney and explain whether reshaping or replacing the crown fits. Water standing on a crown also soaks into it and feeds new cracks. A reshaped or new crown should be dry again soon after a shower ends.
Where stucco meets the roof
Where a stucco chimney meets the roof is a common place for trouble. If the stucco was run down onto the roofing, or the flashing was buried in it, water can get behind the finish. Where a chimney in Holden Heights has this detail, we check how the flashing was handled at the roofline and explain the repair, which may involve cutting back the stucco to reset proper flashing. The stucco patch and new flashing are planned together, so the finish sits above the metal instead of burying it.

Chimney leak questions from Holden Heights
Short answers from our chimney team in Holden Heights. Call for anything not covered here.
Can caulk fix my chimney flashing?
Caulk belongs at a few specific joints, but it cannot replace missing metal or hold counterflashing that should be set into the mortar. We use it where the design calls for it and repair the metal where it has failed.
Does the 72-hour 10% discount apply to leak repair?
Yes. Take 10% off any service booked within 72 hours after your free inspection, chimney leak repair included. Mention it when you book and it will appear on your estimate.
