Our approach to chimney leaks in Kingswood Manor
Practical points from our chimney leak crew in Kingswood Manor.
A leak that started after roof work
When a chimney starts leaking soon after a new roof, the flashing is the first suspect. Old counterflashing may have been reused, sealed over or left short of the new roof covering. At your Kingswood Manor home we inspect how the new roofing meets the chimney and write up what we find. If the roof work is still under the roofer's warranty, those notes help you take it back to them. We look for counterflashing that was bent up and pressed back down, or new flashing laid over old rusted metal.
White bloom as a map of moisture
Efflorescence, the white powder that forms on brick, appears where water has moved through masonry and left dissolved minerals behind as it dried. On a leaking chimney it works like a map. Bloom near the crown points to the top, bloom below the flashing points to the roof junction and bloom inside on the chimney breast shows how far water has travelled. We read that map on your Kingswood Manor chimney before choosing a repair. Once the leak is fixed, the bloom usually stops returning and can be cleaned off.
Checking the repair once it is done
Where it makes sense, we test the repaired area with water before we leave, while someone watches the inside. That confirms the new flashing, crown or cap is doing its job. On your Kingswood Manor chimney we tell you which areas were tested and which will only prove themselves in the next real rain, so you know what to watch. Testing also checks that the water does not simply move on to the next weak point. If a test is not practical, we explain why and what to watch for instead.
