Our approach to chimney leaks in Mercy Drive
Before you approve a leak repair in Mercy Drive, these are worth knowing.
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 Mercy Drive 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.
What to do until the repair
Until the leak is fixed, catch the water, protect what is nearby and stay off the roof. Put a bucket or tray under a drip, move rugs and furniture away from the hearth and keep the fireplace out of use if water reaches the firebox. Towels along the wall can save flooring. Our team in Mercy Drive can explain what else to do for your particular leak when you call. Keep the damper closed if it still closes, which can reduce the water reaching the firebox.
Soft drywall and damaged finishes
Drywall that has been wet more than once may soften, bubble or sag, and paint over it can peel. Those finishes need repair, though only after the water is stopped and the wall has dried out. On the estimate for your Mercy Drive home, we list the entry repair first and describe the interior damage separately, so you know which part we handle and which may suit a drywall or paint contractor. We also point out whether a ceiling or wall should be checked by another trade before it is closed up again.

Chimney leak questions from Mercy Drive
Still deciding? These answers help, and the leak inspection in Mercy Drive is free.
What if the roof is leaking and not the chimney?
We check the surrounding roof as part of the inspection. If the water is entering through the roof itself, we tell you plainly so the right trade can fix it.
Is same-day service available for a leak?
Often, yes. Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, and our emergency line answers around the clock for water coming in heavily.
