LEAKY CHIMNEYS

Chimney Cap – A chimney cap sits at the very top of your chimney and protects it from water, debris, and animal intrusion. This is usually a metal fixture with a grate around it to allow the heat and smoke to escape, without letting water or debris in. While inexpensive, these are incredibly important components for combating potential water damage.

Chase Cover – A chase cover is similar to a chimney cap except it is for prefabricated chimney systems. Prefab chimney systems usually have an exposed metal tube instead of a masonry chimney. A chase cover performs the same function as a chimney cap when installed on a prefab unit.

Chimney Crown – A chimney crown is the concrete slab at the top of the masonry structure. This helps direct water away from the base of the chimney and the masonry so that it flows harmlessly off the roof and into the gutter system. We can waterproof your crown for added protection!

Flashing – The flashing is the guard that protects the area where the chimney meets the roofline. This area is extremely susceptible to leaks and requires an extra layer of protection to keep water from seeping into the cracks and getting into your home. Flashing is frequently installed improperly, but we can make sure yours is serving its purpose or install new flashing.
