Tracing and fixing chimney leaks in Pineloch
Straight answers about chimney leaks in Pineloch, from the people who fix them.
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 Pineloch 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.
Wet insulation around the chimney
Insulation near a leaking chimney can hold water for a long time and keep the framing damp even after the rain stops. Matted or discolored insulation in the attic beside the chimney is a clear sign. When we find it at your Pineloch home, we note how far it extends and recommend replacing the wet section once the entry point is repaired, so trapped moisture does not linger. Damp insulation also loses much of its value, so replacing it helps the room below as well as the framing.
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 Pineloch 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.

Before your chimney leak repair in Pineloch
If your question is not here, our Pineloch team is a phone call away.
How will I know the repair worked?
Where it makes sense we water test the repaired area before leaving. After that, watch the spot during the next few storms. If fresh moisture appears, tell us the timing and location and we will come back.
Can you close off a chimney we never use?
Yes. Capping and sealing a retired flue keeps rain out, though the crown and flashing still need to be sound. We explain how it is done and how it could be reopened later.
