Chimney leak repair explained for Milk District homeowners
Here is how our local team works through a chimney leak at your Milk District home.
A metal vent pipe near the chimney
Some homes have a separate metal vent passing through the roof close to the chimney, sealed with its own boot or collar. When that seal cracks, water can run down the pipe and appear near the fireplace. On a leak inspection at your Milk District home, we check any nearby vent penetration as part of the search, so a failed pipe seal is not mistaken for a chimney fault. Pipe boots and collars wear out on their own schedule, so a cracked one is a quick, separate repair.
Siding joints on a framed chimney chase
A framed chase is covered in the same siding as the house, and its joints, trim and corners can let water in just like a wall. Swollen trim, peeling paint and soft spots low on the chase often trace back to water entering higher up. On your Milk District chase we check the siding along with the cover and collar, and siding or framing repair is quoted as its own item. Where siding has soaked up water for a long time, the framing behind it is checked before new siding goes on.
Keeping inside repairs separate
Stopping the water and fixing the damage it caused are two different jobs. Our chimney leak repair focuses on the entry point outside. Stained ceilings, soft drywall and damaged flooring come next, once everything has dried. On the estimate for your Milk District home, we describe the interior damage we saw so you can plan those repairs, but we keep them apart from the chimney work. If the interior damage is extensive, we say whether another trade should look at it before it is closed up.

Leak repair answers for Milk District homeowners
If your question is not here, our Milk District team is a phone call away.
Do you work on tile roofs?
Yes. We plan the work to protect the tiles, lift only what is needed to reach the flashing and note any tiles that were already cracked before we started.
My chimney leaks in some storms but not others. What does that tell you?
Leaks that depend on wind direction or storm length usually come from one face of the chimney or from brick that soaks up water slowly. Tell us which storms caused it, and we will focus the inspection there.
