Chimney leaks are one of the most common calls we get from homeowners in Lauderdale Lakes, a Broward County community where older stucco and brick homes often have chimneys that were never properly flashed to begin with. Sitting inland from the coast, this area doesn't get the salt exposure of the beach towns, but it still takes the full brunt of South Florida's rain. A leaking chimney usually shows up as a stain on the ceiling near the fireplace or damp drywall in an upstairs closet.

The roof-to-chimney flashing re-sealed or replaced where it's failed.

Why Lauderdale Lakes Homes Need Chimney Leak & Flashing Repair
South Florida's summer storm season brings heavy, wind-driven rain almost daily for months at a time, and that kind of repeated soaking finds every weak point in a chimney's flashing and mortar. The metal flashing where the chimney meets the roofline is often the first thing to fail, especially on homes where the original flashing has never been replaced. Once water gets behind that flashing, it can travel along the roof deck and show up far from where it actually entered.
We start by tracing the leak to its actual source, since water often travels before it shows a stain, and a repair aimed at the wrong spot won't hold. Depending on what we find, that might mean resealing and reflashing around the chimney base, repairing cracked crown concrete, or patching mortar joints that have opened up. We use materials suited for Florida's climate and always explain what caused the leak so you understand the fix.
We're a family-owned team, and we'd rather explain a leak honestly than sell you more work than you need. Every leak repair comes with a written estimate up front, and we can often get to Lauderdale Lakes homes the same day you call, especially during storm season when a small leak can turn into a bigger problem fast. Call us and we'll find out where the water is actually getting in.
