Chimney leak repair explained for Zellwood homeowners
Our team in Zellwood walks every homeowner through details like these.
A cap that no longer keeps rain out
Caps rust, bend and work loose. A lid pushed off center, holes rusted through the top or a cap sized for a different flue can all let rain reach the opening it was meant to cover. Up on the roof in Zellwood, we check the lid, the mounting and the fit, then explain whether a repair or a new cap is the better value. Replacement caps are quoted with the size and metal named. Stainless steel and copper are both common choices, and we explain the difference in plain terms.
Repointing the joints that leak
When worn mortar is letting water in, repointing restores the joints. The old mortar is cut back to sound material and replaced with new mortar suited to the brick. On a leaking chimney in Zellwood, we repoint the section that matches the leak and any joints close to failing, instead of the whole chimney, unless the wear is spread across every face. The new mortar is matched to the brick in strength and color, so the joints wear as they should.
Keeping inside repairs separate
Stopping the water and fixing the damage it caused are two different jobs. Our chimney leak repair focuses on the entry point outside. Stained ceilings, soft drywall and damaged flooring come next, once everything has dried. On the estimate for your Zellwood home, we describe the interior damage we saw so you can plan those repairs, but we keep them apart from the chimney work. If the interior damage is extensive, we say whether another trade should look at it before it is closed up.
