Water finding its way into a chimney is one of the more common calls we get from Summerfield homeowners, whether it's an older brick chimney on a home near town or a newer stucco chase on a house closer to the county's outer neighborhoods. Leaks usually show up as staining on the ceiling near the fireplace or damp brick after a storm. Tracking down exactly where the water gets in is the real work of this job.

What Our Chimney Leak & Flashing Repair Service Includes
Leak-Source Diagnosis
We find where water is actually entering — not just where the stain appears.
Flashing Repair & Reseal
The roof-to-chimney flashing re-sealed or replaced where it's failed.
Crown & Cap Sealing
Cracked crowns and missing caps fixed to close the most common top-side leaks.
Masonry Waterproofing
Porous brick and open joints sealed so the wall stops soaking up rain.
Why Summerfield Homes Need Chimney Leak & Flashing Repair
Marion County sees its share of intense summer downpours and the wind-driven rain that comes with tropical systems, and that kind of weather tests every seam in a chimney's crown, flashing, and mortar joints. Add in the expansion-prone heat cycles of a Florida summer, and small gaps widen over time until water starts working its way through. A leak that starts small in July can be a real problem by hurricane season's end.
We trace leaks methodically, checking the crown, the flashing where the chimney meets the roofline, and the mortar joints themselves before deciding on a fix. Depending on what we find, the repair might mean resealing flashing, repairing a cracked crown, or repointing damaged mortar. We explain what caused the leak in the first place so you understand the fix, not just the invoice.
Summerfield homeowners want a crew that gets to the actual source of a leak rather than a quick patch that fails next season, and that's how our family-owned team approaches every job. We provide a written estimate before we start and can often get to leak calls the same day, since water damage only gets worse the longer it sits. Call us and we'll get someone out to take a look.
