A Braintree homeowner contacted Mikey's Chimney shortly after purchasing the house because water was leaking around the chimney. During our roof inspection, we identified failing flashing that was allowing water to travel beneath the shingles and reach the wood below.
We also found deteriorated mortar joints throughout the chimney. The masonry needed more than a small patch, so the homeowner approved a complete repair plan and our team got started.
We completed full chimney repointing by renewing the deteriorated mortar joints around the masonry. This restored the chimney's exterior joints and helped close pathways where water could enter.
At the roofline, we replaced the flashing cover, sealed the chimney-to-roof transitions, and repaired damaged shingles around the work area. Addressing the masonry, flashing, and shingles together helped correct the source of the leak instead of covering only one symptom.
