Chimney leak repair explained for Lake Terrace homeowners
Straight answers about chimney leaks in Lake Terrace, from the people who fix them.
Telling a fresh stain from an old one
An old stain can linger long after the leak that made it has been fixed, so a mark alone may not mean water is still coming in. Fresh water leaves damp edges, soft drywall and a darker ring after each storm. If you are not sure whether the stain at your Lake Terrace home is active, draw a light pencil line around its edge after a dry spell. Growth past the line after rain is strong evidence. Soft or bubbling drywall at the stain is another sign the water is still active.
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 Lake Terrace 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.
Old steel flashing that has rusted through
Painted or galvanized steel flashing eventually rusts, beginning at bends, fastener holes and places where water sits. Pinholes can let water through long before the metal looks badly damaged from the ground. Brick Industry Association guidance calls for corrosion-resistant sheet metal, and at your Lake Terrace home we name the metal we would use for the replacement and explain why it suits your roof. Aluminum, copper and stainless steel are among the options, each with its own fastener and contact needs.
