Real answers for chimney leak repair
Common leak points
Flashing, crowns, caps, mortar joints, brick faces, and open flues are common sources. Sometimes more than one issue is present, especially on older chimneys.
Why quick repair matters
Water can damage masonry, rust dampers, stain ceilings, create odor, and widen small gaps. Early repair can prevent a small leak from becoming a larger exterior and interior project.
Repair versus guessing
A bead of sealant in the wrong place may hide the issue for a short time. We focus on the likely water path, then explain the fix that makes sense.
