Our approach to chimney leaks in Washington Shores
The points below shape the repair we recommend in Washington Shores, and each one shows up in your estimate.
A flat or thin-edged crown
The Florida residential code, section R1003.9.1, calls for the chimney cap, the part the trade calls the crown, to slope so it sheds water. Brick Industry Association guidance also warns against feathering a poured cap to a thin edge. Many older crowns were trowelled flat or thin, and water sits on them after each storm. We check the slope and edge thickness on your Washington Shores chimney and explain whether reshaping or replacing the crown fits. Water standing on a crown also soaks into it and feeds new cracks. A reshaped or new crown should be dry again soon after a shower ends.
A gap at the storm collar
Where a metal chimney pipe comes up through the chase cover, a storm collar turns water away from that joint. One manufacturer's instructions call for the collar to be sealed where it meets the pipe. When the collar slips or the seal cracks at your Washington Shores home, rain runs straight down the outside of the pipe and inside the chase. Resealing or replacing the collar is a small repair with a large effect. We also check that the pipe is not caulked solid to the chase top collar, which one maker's manual advises against.
Cracks in a stucco chimney
Stucco sheds most rain, but cracks in it let water reach the structure behind, where it can spread unseen. Hollow spots, bulges and stains below the cracks are signs water has been getting in. At your Washington Shores home we tap and inspect the stucco surface, mark the areas that sound hollow and explain whether patching, a partial repair or a larger stucco repair is the right response. Fine surface cracks are sealed differently from open ones, and the estimate explains which method each area needs.

What people in Washington Shores ask about chimney leaks
Short answers from our chimney team in Washington Shores. Call for anything not covered here.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every chimney leak repair we complete carries our workmanship warranty, and the estimate lists exactly which parts we repaired.
Could the water be condensation instead of rain?
It can be. Drips on dry days or while an appliance runs suggest moisture forming in the flue. We check the timing, the flue size and the lining before recommending a repair.
