Chimney leak repair explained for Lake Nona homeowners
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Lake Nona.
Leaks that follow the wind
Some chimneys leak only when rain comes from one direction. That points to the face taking the weather, such as a cracked side of the crown, an open joint in the counterflashing or a porous stretch of brick. If your Lake Nona chimney stays dry in most storms and leaks in a few, try to recall which way the wind was blowing. It can steer the inspection straight to one side of the chimney. We compare that face with the others, since the leaking side often shows darker brick or more worn joints.
Rebuilding the top of the chimney
Sometimes the top courses of brick are too loose, cracked or spalled to hold a new crown or flashing. Then the leak repair starts by taking the chimney down to sound brick and rebuilding it. That is a larger job, and we only recommend it when smaller repairs cannot work. At your Lake Nona home we show you the loose courses and explain where the rebuild would start and stop. The rebuilt section is finished with a new crown and flashing, closing the leak at its source.
Working alongside your roofer
Some chimney leak repairs touch the roof covering, such as resetting tiles or replacing shingles around new flashing. We explain which part of the job is chimney work and which is roofing, and we can coordinate with your roofer if you have one. For your Lake Nona home, the estimate says clearly who does what, so there are no gaps where water can still get in. If you do not have a roofer, we explain the roofing part of the job and how it will be handled.

Leak repair answers for Lake Nona homeowners
Our family-owned team in Lake Nona answers the questions that come up most on leak jobs.
Can you fix a leak in a framed chimney chase?
Yes. Leaks in framed chimneys often start at a rusted chase cover or a loose storm collar. We inspect both, along with the chase siding, and quote each part separately.
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.
