Why You Should Fix Chimney Leaks
Chimney leaks can quickly lead to larger problems. Beyond the problems we mentioned, a leaky chimney can damage other parts of your home including your drywall and wood framing. Rot, damaged drywall and ceilings and damage to the brick and mortar of the chimney can be the result of water intrusion. This can also lead to mold and health issues for your family, not to mention expensive chimney repairs down the road.
We Fix Leaky Chimneys
As there are many possible causes of a leaky chimney, an annual chimney inspection is one way to help prevent the problem in the first place.
Our team members can easily fix issues with your flashing, chimney cap, chimney crown, or brick-and-mortar. Each of these components helps to prevent leaks. Once properly repaired, a layer of water repellent sealer can help mitigate future problems.
Our Chimney Sweep Techs Can Help
A chimney sweep and inspection will both clean your system while taking a look at each component. If they notice problems, they can make recommendations on how you should fix them. We have CSIA-certified technicians overseeing all work and recommendations. Sometimes, we can fix many of problems on the spot!
When To Contact Our Chimney Company
There are two times throughout the year that you should contact a chimney sweep for assistance if you suspect you have a leaky chimney. The first of those is in the early spring and summer as a part of your annual chimney service. By having our technicians perform this task each year, you can help prevent small issues from becoming larger problems.
The other time to contact a chimney company is whenever you notice any of the signs we’ve mentioned. Whether spring, summer, winter, or fall, if you suspect you have a leaky chimney, the best time to contact our offices is the moment you find indications of a problem.
Signs You Have A Leaking Chimney
Some leaky chimney systems may not have any direct evidence of a problem. Others may be painfully obvious, such as damage to parts of your home’s interior, leaks on the ceiling near the fireplace, water dripping into the fireplace or staining on your masonry. These are some of the signs you have a leaking chimney.
- Water within your firebox
- Evidence of mold or mildew, including odors
- Visible condensation within the system
- Deteriorating masonry
