Count On Chimney Doctors to Stop Your Chimney Leaks and Provide Great Options
Stained ceilings, moldy woodwork, rusty fireplace parts: These are all signs that you could have a leak in your chimney system. These leaks can quickly spread to other parts of your chimney, spreading the damage and the expense that will be involved in fixing the problems that have happened, so it’s important to fix the problem quickly. In some cases, this can be as simple as having a ChimGuard full-coverage cap installed.
However, locating the source of the leak can be problematic at best. Do you have a loose piece of flashing around the base of the chimney? Are there cracks in the mortar allowing moisture to seep through? Is your chimney cap damaged or lost in a storm? You want an experienced professional from Chimney Doctors to find the problem and get it fixed for you quickly and effectively.
Once you’ve had the source of the problem taken care of, have you considered waterproofing your chimney to prevent issues with your masonry work in the future? Bricks are porous, and a single brick can absorb up to two cups of water! How will you protect your chimney from absorbing stormwater, causing spalling, cracking, and freeze/thaw damage to occur?
The best answer is chimney waterproofing. Using a professional formulation that, unlike DIY products, allows moisture to leave your brickwork while preventing additional moisture from soaking in, our professionals will cover all of the vulnerable parts of your chimney, protecting it for many years to come.
