Chimney and Fireplace Service in Ventura, FL

A chimney that leaks again after it was repaired is frustrating, and in Ventura, an Orlando neighborhood recognized by the city, our technicians approach a repeat leak by looking at what was fixed before and what may have been missed. A repair can be sound and still not solve the leak if the water had more than one way in.

Start with the paperwork. If you have the invoice or estimate from the earlier repair, it tells us which entry point was treated. A new crown, for example, does nothing for failed flashing, and new flashing does nothing for porous brick soaking up wind-driven rain. Sometimes the first repair addressed one route and a second route was there all along.

Then we look at the repair itself. Sealant used where metal flashing was needed, a crown coating over a crown that was already broken through, or new counterflashing not set into the mortar joints can fail early. We tell you plainly what we see, without running down another company's work for its own sake. The pattern of the water matters as much as its location.

Does the stain appear in every rain, only in heavy storms, or only when wind comes from one direction? Did it change after the repair, or come back the same? Those details help us separate the possibilities before any materials are ordered. Our repair plan names the entry point we are fixing and explains why we believe it is the source.

Where more than one route is involved, each is priced separately, and the order they should be done in is written down. The Ventura inspection costs nothing, and every repair is quoted upfront in writing. Book within 72 hours after the inspection and take 10% off, and the repairs we complete carry our workmanship warranty. If water comes in during a storm, our 24/7 emergency line is available.
