Chimney leak repair explained for Pershing homeowners
Here is how our local team works through a chimney leak at your Pershing home.
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 Pershing 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.
A wide chimney with no cricket behind it
Water running down a roof piles up against the uphill side of a chimney. The state residential code, section R903.2.2, calls for a cricket or saddle on the ridge side of any chimney more than thirty inches wide, measured across the slope. Without one, the back of a wide chimney can hold water after every storm. We measure your Pershing chimney and explain how adding a cricket would divert the flow around it. Building a cricket involves framing and roofing, so we explain how the work is shared if your roofer is involved.
Old fastener holes in the brick
Antenna brackets, satellite mounts and old straps were often bolted directly into chimney brick. When they were removed, the holes often stayed open. Each one can let water into the masonry. We check your Pershing chimney for old hardware and empty holes, remove anything no longer needed and seal the openings as part of the leak repair. If a mount is still in use, we can suggest a spot that keeps the chimney sealed. Sealed holes are checked again during a water test if one is run.
