Chimney leak details that matter in Lake Eola Heights
How the job runs in Lake Eola Heights, and where your choices come in.
A stain on the wall beside the chimney breast
A damp or discolored patch on the wall next to the chimney breast often means water is running down the outside of the masonry inside the house, usually from the roof junction above. It can also come from a crack in the brick that lets water pass through the wall. When a chimney in Lake Eola Heights shows this symptom, we inspect the flashing and the upper brick first, then the attic, to see which path matches the stain. Paint that bubbles on that wall, or plaster that sounds hollow, helps show how far the water has spread.
What caulk can and cannot fix
Sealant has a place in a chimney leak repair, at the joint between the crown and flue tile, at flashing laps and at the storm collar on a metal chimney. It cannot replace missing metal or close a wide crack for long. At your Lake Eola Heights home we use sealant where the design calls for it and explain where a more permanent repair is needed instead. Where caulk is used, it is a product made for masonry and metal, applied to clean, dry surfaces.
Using the fireplace while the chimney leaks
If water is reaching the firebox or damper, keep the fireplace out of use until the leak is repaired and the system has been checked. Wet deposits, rusted parts and damaged mortar can all affect how the fireplace works. When the repair at your Lake Eola Heights home is complete, we tell you whether it is ready to use again or whether a cleaning or further check comes first. A quick check before the first fire after a leak is a sensible habit.
