Chimney leak details that matter in Lake Sunset
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Lake Sunset.
Cracks in the chimney crown
The crown is the concrete or mortar top that closes the brickwork around the flue, and it takes more rain than any other part of a masonry chimney. Cracks across it let water straight into the chimney walls. On your Lake Sunset chimney we measure how wide and deep the cracks run and whether the crown still sheds water. Fine cracks in a sound crown can often be sealed, while broken or crumbling crowns need rebuilding. Water that gets through a cracked crown can also reach the flue tile and the top courses of brick, so those are checked at the same time.
Sealing a crown or building a new one
A crown with fine cracks, a sound body and enough slope can often be sealed with a flexible crown coating. A crown that is broken, crumbling, flat or cut flush with the brick usually needs replacing with one that slopes, overhangs and drips clear. On your Lake Sunset chimney we explain which category the crown falls in and price the option that will actually stop the leak. A new crown is formed to slope, overhang and drip, with a bond break around the flue tile.
Lifting and resetting roof tiles
Replacing flashing on a tile roof means lifting the tiles around the chimney, which are fragile and sometimes hard to match. We plan that work carefully, note any tiles that are already cracked and explain how replacements will be sourced if some break during removal. On a tile roof in Lake Sunset, the goal is to leave the roof around the chimney as sound as the flashing we install. Replacement tiles are matched as closely as the available stock allows, and you see any difference before they go on.

Leak repair answers for Lake Sunset homeowners
If your question is not here, our Lake Sunset team is a phone call away.
Could the water be condensation instead of rain?
It can be. Drips on dry days or while an appliance runs suggest moisture forming in the flue. We check the timing, the flue size and the lining before recommending a repair.
Do you remove old patches before repairing?
When they hide cracks or would stop new material from bonding, yes. Removal is listed on the estimate so you know why it is needed.
