Where Is the Water Coming From?
Water intrusion can result from problems involving the chimney crown, flashing, chase cover, chimney cap, siding, masonry surfaces, or other exposed areas of the chimney.
Chimney Cap
Chase Cover
Chimney Crown
A missing or damaged chimney cap allows rain to fall directly into the open flue and deteriorate the interior.
Rusted or pitted chase covers lose their ability to shed water, leading to internal water damage.
Cracks or deterioration in the masonry crown can allow water to seep directly into the chimney structure.
Siding
Masonry Surfaces
Flashing
Deteriorated or improperly sealed siding around the chimney can provide pathways for moisture to enter your home.
Porous bricks and failing mortar joints act like sponges, absorbing rain and leading to seepage over time.
Damaged or improperly installed metal flashing often results in persistent leaks where the chimney meets the roof.
FINDING THE SOURCE
Chimney Leak Repair in Brevard County Starts With a Professional Evaluation
A successful chimney repair starts with identifying where the water is entering. We evaluate accessible areas of the chimney and surrounding components for visible signs of deterioration, damage, improper sealing, corrosion, or other conditions that may contribute to water intrusion.
CHIMNEY PROTECTION

When appropriate, chimney waterproofing can help reduce water penetration through porous masonry while allowing moisture vapor to escape. Before waterproofing is recommended, we evaluate the chimney for conditions that may require repair or correction first.
