How we handle chimney leak repair in Stone Crest
Before you approve a leak repair in Stone Crest, these are worth knowing.
An open flue with no cap
A flue without a cap is an open pipe pointing at the sky. Rain falls straight down it, wets the flue walls and collects on the smoke shelf and damper. On a chimney in Stone Crest with no cap, the simplest leak repair may be a properly sized cap fastened to the flue tile or crown. We confirm that the rest of the top is sound first, since a cap will not stop water coming through a cracked crown or open flashing. A cap also keeps leaves and animals out, which helps the damper and smoke shelf stay dry and clear.
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 Stone Crest 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.
The listed cap on a metal chimney
A factory-built chimney must be installed and terminated according to its maker's instructions, under section R1005.1 of the Florida residential code. That includes the termination cap. A missing or mismatched cap on a metal chimney can let water in and may not suit the system. On your Stone Crest chimney we identify the maker where possible and quote the cap listed for that chimney. Generic caps may look similar but were not tested with that chimney, and the estimate explains the difference.
