Chimney Repair
Inside a chimney leak repair
It starts with the leak inspection, and 10% comes off work booked within 72 hours of it.
Crown cracks and their repair
The crown should slope water away from the flue and past the edge of the brick. Hairline cracks in an otherwise sound crown can be sealed with a crown coating made for the purpose, applied to the maker's instructions.
A crown that is broken through, crumbling or flat enough to hold water needs rebuilding. The new crown is formed to slope, with a drip edge that throws water clear of the chimney faces, as the Florida Building Code describes. We explain which repair the crack pattern supports and price it before any work begins.
Letting the masonry dry
A chimney that has been soaking for months holds water in its brick and mortar for some time after the leak is stopped. Stains may stay visible and some dampness may linger inside.
After the repair, you learn what to expect and which signs would mean water is still getting in. Fresh moisture after a storm deserves a call, while an old stain slowly fading does not. Keeping the two apart saves you from worrying over a repair that is working.
How a leak estimate is written
A leak estimate names each part being repaired, the method and the materials, so you can see how the work answers the evidence. Temporary protection, water testing and interior work appear as separate items when they are needed.
The inspection behind the estimate is free, there are no hidden fees and the price is agreed before work begins. Book within 72 hours of the inspection and 10% comes off, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers the finished repair.
Siding and trim on a framed chase
On a framed chase, the siding and trim are part of the weather barrier. Open joints, failed sealant and gaps where the chase meets the roof can let rain into the framing around the metal chimney.
Soft or stained siding, swollen trim and any visible water marks inside the chase are what we look for. Chimney parts are repaired by our team, and siding work outside our scope is named so the right trade can handle it.
