Our approach to chimney leaks in Southchase
Practical points from our chimney leak crew in Southchase.
Repairing flashing or replacing it
Flashing with one loose corner or a short run of failed sealant can often be repaired. Flashing that is rusted through, set in sealant instead of a mortar joint or buried under layers of patches usually needs replacing. At your Southchase home we show you which case applies and why. The estimate names the metal, how the counterflashing will be set and how the roofing around it will be handled. Where the roof covering has to be lifted, that work and how the roof is protected are listed too.
Protecting the roof while we work
Leak repairs mean time on the roof, so we plan where to step, where to set materials and how to protect the roofing around the chimney. On tile and older shingle roofs, that care matters as much as the repair itself. At your Southchase home we clean up debris, remove old flashing and sealant from the site and leave the roof as tidy as we found it. Old flashing, sealant and debris leave with us instead of staying in your yard.
Decorative shrouds on a metal chimney
Decorative shrouds around the top of a factory-built chimney can hide the storm collar and chase cover, and water can collect under them. Section R1005.2 of the Florida code allows a shroud there only when it is listed for that chimney system. When your Southchase chimney has a shroud, we check what is underneath and whether it belongs to the system. If the shroud is not listed, we explain the options, including removing it or replacing it with a listed part.

What people in Southchase ask about chimney leaks
Short answers from our chimney team in Southchase. Call for anything not covered here.
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.
What can I do until you arrive?
Catch the water, move rugs and furniture away and stay off the roof. If water is near lights or outlets, switch off that circuit if you can do so safely.
