How we handle chimney leak repair in Lake Avalon
Before you approve a leak repair in Lake Avalon, these are worth knowing.
A rusted chase cover on a framed chimney
Framed chimneys are closed at the top by a metal chase cover, and a rusted one is a frequent source of water near a factory-built fireplace. Pinholes open where rain has sat on the metal, and water then drips inside the chase. For a chase in Lake Avalon, we check the cover for rust, dents and loose edges and explain whether a new cover, measured to the chase, is the right fix. A new cover is made to the outside size of the chase with a raised collar and a drip edge, so water leaves every side.
Why the coating has to breathe
Brick must be able to dry out. Brick Industry Association guidance prefers penetrating repellents that let water vapor escape, with siloxane products recommended, and discourages film-forming coatings on brick walls. A glossy sealer can trap moisture behind it and make the problem worse. When a repellent suits your Lake Avalon chimney, we name the type on the estimate and explain why we chose it. The product is applied to a clean, dry surface following its maker's instructions.
Decorative shrouds on a metal chimney
Decorative shrouds around the top of a factory-built chimney can hide the storm collar and chase cover, and water can collect under them. Section R1005.2 of the Florida code allows a shroud there only when it is listed for that chimney system. When your Lake Avalon chimney has a shroud, we check what is underneath and whether it belongs to the system. If the shroud is not listed, we explain the options, including removing it or replacing it with a listed part.

Chimney leak questions from Lake Avalon
Still deciding? These answers help, and the leak inspection in Lake Avalon is free.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every chimney leak repair we complete carries our workmanship warranty, and the estimate lists exactly which parts we repaired.
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.
