How Can I Prevent Chimney Leaks?
A few preventive measures homeowners can take to ward off leaks include:
Repair or replace your chimney cap. A chimney cap is a simple and affordable barrier against water, and it’s often overlooked. Beyond helping keep water out of your chimney, a cap also keeps out animals and debris and keeps embers and sparks from getting out of your chimney. Our certified chimney sweeps can install or replace a cap that works for your chimney’s needs and the look of your home.
Invest in crown or chase cover repairs. Whether you have a crown or chase cover, we can help with any necessary repairs. Sometimes crowns can be patched, while other times a rebuild is in order. We can complete both services. And if it’s a replacement chase cover you need? We’ll find the most suitable options for your setup.
Repair or install flashing. If your flashing is damaged, we have the tools and expertise to repair it. And if it’s missing altogether, trust our experts to get quality sheets correctly installed. Once we’re through, you’re chimney, roof, and home will be better protected, so you can breathe easier.
Waterproof your chimney. Wecan apply a protective waterproofing sealant that fends off the elements and extends the life of your chimney. Our professional-grade products ensure moisture can’t get in, while still allowing your chimney to remain vapor-permeable. This is important for venting out flue gases and any pre-absorbed water.
