Our approach to chimney leaks in Tangerine
What our pros check and why, on leak repairs across Tangerine.
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 Tangerine. 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.
Step flashing along the sides of the chimney
On an asphalt shingle roof, the sides of the chimney are usually protected by step flashing, short pieces of metal woven in with each course of shingles. In the Florida code, section R905.2.8.3 allows step flashing or continuous L flashing against a vertical sidewall. Missing, rusted or misplaced steps let water run behind the shingles. At your Tangerine home we check each step and the counterflashing above it. Section R905.2.8.4 also points to the shingle maker's instructions for chimney flashing, and we follow them.
The order of work that stops a leak for good
A lasting leak repair follows a sensible order. Close the entry point first, let the wet materials dry, confirm with the next rains that the water has stopped and then repair the ceilings, walls or floors that were damaged. At your Tangerine home, rushing the interior repairs before the chimney is sealed only risks doing them twice. We explain how long surfaces usually need to dry, which depends on the material and how wet it got.

What people in Tangerine ask about chimney leaks
Answers from our specialists in Tangerine, with no sales pressure.
Can caulk fix my chimney flashing?
Caulk belongs at a few specific joints, but it cannot replace missing metal or hold counterflashing that should be set into the mortar. We use it where the design calls for it and repair the metal where it has failed.
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.
