How we handle chimney leak repair in Storey Park
Practical points from our chimney leak crew in Storey Park.
Where stucco meets the roof
Where a stucco chimney meets the roof is a common place for trouble. If the stucco was run down onto the roofing, or the flashing was buried in it, water can get behind the finish. Where a chimney in Storey Park has this detail, we check how the flashing was handled at the roofline and explain the repair, which may involve cutting back the stucco to reset proper flashing. The stucco patch and new flashing are planned together, so the finish sits above the metal instead of burying it.
Why the coating has to breathe
Brick must be able to dry out. Brick Industry Association guidance prefers penetrating repellents that let water vapor escape, with siloxane products recommended, and discourages film-forming coatings on brick walls. A glossy sealer can trap moisture behind it and make the problem worse. When a repellent suits your Storey Park chimney, we name the type on the estimate and explain why we chose it. The product is applied to a clean, dry surface following its maker's instructions.
Closing off a chimney you no longer use
If your fireplace is retired for good, the leak repair can include capping and sealing the flue so rain cannot enter. The crown and flashing still need to be sound, because water can get in there even when the flue is closed. At your Storey Park home we explain how closing the chimney is done properly and what it would take to reopen it later if your plans change. A retired chimney still needs an occasional look at the top, since a cap or seal can work loose over time.

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.
