Leak repair details for chimneys in Lake Mary
Same-day leak visits in Lake Mary when the schedule allows, with a temporary cover if repair day must wait.
Ceilings, walls and interior finishes
Stopping the water does not restore stained paint, soft drywall or damaged flooring near the fireplace. Those finishes need to dry and may need replacement by the right trade.
You hear what we see inside and whether the material still feels wet. Interior repairs are included only when they are written into the estimate, so there is no confusion about who handles what. Waiting for the finish to dry before repainting keeps the old stain from bleeding through.
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.
Why a closed damper does not stop a leak
Closing the damper keeps water from reaching the room directly, but the water is still entering the chimney above it. It collects on the damper plate and the smoke shelf, where it rusts metal and softens mortar out of sight.
A closed damper can also hide how bad a leak has become. We open it during the inspection to see what has collected there, and the repair is aimed at the entry above rather than at keeping the water contained below.
Water reaching the hearth and floor
Water that runs down the inside of the chimney can reach the hearth and the flooring in front of it. Grout lines darken, tiles loosen and wood flooring can cup near the fireplace.
We note this damage during the inspection and tell you whether it is still wet. The chimney repair stops the source, and any flooring repair is named separately in the estimate so it can be scheduled once the area has dried.
