Our approach to chimney leaks in Rose Isle
Practical points from our chimney leak crew in Rose Isle.
Why we ask you not to hose the chimney
Spraying the chimney yourself to find the leak can do more harm than good. Water aimed in the wrong place can open a new path, soak material that was dry and blur the pattern we need to read. It also puts someone on a ladder or roof. Leave the testing to our crew in Rose Isle. Your job is simply to note what happens during ordinary rain. A few notes about real storms, such as timing and wind, give us more to work with than a hose test run without a helper inside.
Cracks in the chimney crown
The crown is the concrete or mortar top that closes the brickwork around the flue, and it takes more rain than any other part of a masonry chimney. Cracks across it let water straight into the chimney walls. On your Rose Isle chimney we measure how wide and deep the cracks run and whether the crown still sheds water. Fine cracks in a sound crown can often be sealed, while broken or crumbling crowns need rebuilding. Water that gets through a cracked crown can also reach the flue tile and the top courses of brick, so those are checked at the same time.
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 Rose Isle 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.

Chimney leak questions from Rose Isle
Short answers from our chimney team in Rose Isle. Call for anything not covered here.
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.
Is same-day service available for a leak?
Often, yes. Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, and our emergency line answers around the clock for water coming in heavily.
