What goes into a leak repair in Stoneybrook East
Parts of the job our leak specialists explain to homeowners in Stoneybrook East before any repair.
A leak that keeps coming back
If your chimney has been patched more than once and still leaks, the repairs have probably been treating the stain instead of the source. Tell us what was done before and when the leak returned. At your Stoneybrook East home we look at the earlier repairs, then check the paths they did not address. The estimate explains why the new repair targets a different part, so you are not paying for the same patch twice. Recurring leaks often come from more than one path, and we check for that before quoting a single fix.
Tar and roofing cement smeared over the flashing
Thick roofing cement smeared over flashing is usually a sign of a quick fix. It may stop a leak for a season, then crack as it dries and let water back in, while hiding the real condition of the metal underneath. On a chimney in Stoneybrook East covered in patches, we explain what the patches are hiding and whether the flashing below can be salvaged or needs replacing. Removing the tar lets us see whether the metal underneath is sound or rusted through.
Flashing where the cricket meets the chimney
A cricket only helps if its own flashing is sound. Brick Industry Association guidance treats the joint between a cricket and a chimney like any other roof junction, with flashing and counterflashing. Gaps at the peak or corners of the cricket often let water in, and they are hard to see from the ground. On your Stoneybrook East chimney we inspect the cricket valleys and the metal where they meet the brick. Leaves and debris caught in the cricket valleys also hold water, so they are cleared during the visit.

Still deciding? These answers help, and the leak inspection in Stoneybrook East is free.
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.
Do you need to get into the attic?
If there is safe access, it helps a great deal. The attic often shows exactly where water is running along the chimney. If access is not possible, we note it and work from the roof and the room.
