Tracing and fixing chimney leaks in Meridian Park
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Meridian Park.
During the rain or hours later
Water that appears while it is still raining usually has a short, open path, such as an uncapped flue or a gap in the flashing. Water that shows up hours later, or the next morning, often soaked through brick or mortar first. Knowing which pattern your Meridian Park chimney follows tells our leak specialists whether to look first at openings or at porous material. A rough note of the timing is enough. Where both patterns show up, there may be two paths, and the estimate addresses each one.
A gap at the storm collar
Where a metal chimney pipe comes up through the chase cover, a storm collar turns water away from that joint. One manufacturer's instructions call for the collar to be sealed where it meets the pipe. When the collar slips or the seal cracks at your Meridian Park home, rain runs straight down the outside of the pipe and inside the chase. Resealing or replacing the collar is a small repair with a large effect. We also check that the pipe is not caulked solid to the chase top collar, which one maker's manual advises against.
Decorative shrouds on a metal chimney
Decorative shrouds around the top of a factory-built chimney can hide the storm collar and chase cover, and water can collect under them. Section R1005.2 of the Florida code allows a shroud there only when it is listed for that chimney system. When your Meridian Park chimney has a shroud, we check what is underneath and whether it belongs to the system. If the shroud is not listed, we explain the options, including removing it or replacing it with a listed part.

Before your chimney leak repair in Meridian Park
If your question is not here, our Meridian Park team is a phone call away.
Can you find a chimney leak on a dry day?
Usually, yes. Cracked crowns, open flashing, missing caps and worn joints are visible without rain, and old water trails leave marks. If the evidence still points two ways, we explain the next step, such as a staged water test.
What can I do until you arrive?
Catch the water, move rugs and furniture away and stay off the roof. If water is near lights or outlets, switch off that circuit if you can do so safely.
