What goes into a leak repair in Robinson Hills
What our pros check and why, on leak repairs across Robinson Hills.
Counterflashing set into the mortar
Counterflashing covers the top edge of the base flashing so water cannot run behind it. Brick Industry Association guidance shows it cut into a mortar joint about three-quarters of an inch to an inch, mortared in solidly and lapping the base flashing by at least three inches. On your Robinson Hills chimney we check whether the counterflashing is still set into the joint, still overlaps and still sheds water away from the brick. Counterflashing that has pulled out of its joint can sometimes be reset and remortared if the metal is still sound.
A rusted chase cover on a framed chimney
Framed chimneys are closed at the top by a metal chase cover, and a rusted one is a frequent source of water near a factory-built fireplace. Pinholes open where rain has sat on the metal, and water then drips inside the chase. For a chase in Robinson Hills, we check the cover for rust, dents and loose edges and explain whether a new cover, measured to the chase, is the right fix. A new cover is made to the outside size of the chase with a raised collar and a drip edge, so water leaves every side.
Matching metals and fasteners
When two different metals touch in the wet, one can corrode faster than it would alone. Zinc-coated steel, for example, wears quickly against some other metals. For flashing, caps and chase covers at your Robinson Hills home, we use fasteners and parts that are compatible with each other, and the estimate names the metals so you know what is going on your roof. It is a small detail that can decide how long a repair lasts.

What people in Robinson Hills ask about chimney leaks
Still deciding? These answers help, and the leak inspection in Robinson Hills is free.
Do you repair the stain on my ceiling?
Our repair stops the water at the chimney. We note the interior damage on the estimate so you can plan drywall and paint once everything has dried, which avoids doing that work twice.
Should I stop using the fireplace?
If water is reaching the firebox or damper, yes. Keep it out of use until the leak is repaired and the fireplace has been checked, since wet deposits and rusted parts can affect how it works.
