A leak that began right after a storm

Right after a storm, a new leak may have an obvious cause: a cap blown off, a chase cover peeled back, a branch that struck the top of the stack, or flashing lifted by wind. We check for storm damage first on those calls, because a visible failure saves a lot of testing.

If a chimney in Fleming Island shows no clear storm damage, we test it like any other leak. The storm may simply have been the first rain hard enough, from the right direction, to find a weakness that was already there. In both cases the finding says what we saw and what we ruled out. Tell us where the stain shows in your Fleming Island home when you call (904) 920-5495.

How It Works

How our leak specialists trace a leak in Fleming Island

Attic and roof surveyed
We read the stains on the rafters, then check the cap, crown, faces and flashing from the top down.
Zones tested from the bottom up
One zone at a time is wet for a set time, lowest first, while someone inside watches for water.
Repair made at the entry point
The proven spot gets its fix, whether that is a cap, a crown coating, new counter flashing or repointed joints.
Checked after the next heavy rain
You watch the ceiling through the next storm, and we come back to look before anything inside is closed up.

Local Conditions

Keeping a leak log in Fleming Island

A few notes can save hours of testing. Write down the date each time the leak shows, how hard it was raining, which way the wind blew and how long after the rain started the water appeared.

Bring the log to the visit in Fleming Island, and we plan the water test around it.

Leaks through chase siding and trim

A framed chase is a small wall, with siding, trim and corner boards like any other wall of the house. Its joints fail in the same ways: caulk gives up at corners, siding laps open, trim boards rot at the bottom. Water that gets behind the siding runs down inside the chase and can appear on an interior wall or ceiling.

Testing a chase means wetting the siding in sections, just as we would brick faces. If the leak is in the siding rather than the chimney parts, the finding names the carpentry or siding work needed.

What the stain shapes in the attic mean

Attic stains keep a record of every leak. A dark streak running down a rafter from the uphill side of the chimney points to the back flashing or a debris dam. Stains on the decking along one side point to that side's flashing.

A damp band on the masonry while the rafters beside it stay dry points higher: water coming down inside the masonry from the crown or a face. Tide lines, rings of stain with lighter centers, show a leak that has come and gone more than once. We sketch what we find so the later test can confirm or rule out each reading.

White crust on the chimney inside the attic

White, powdery deposits on the chimney brick inside the attic are salts left behind by water that soaked all the way through the masonry and dried on the inside face. Their presence tells us water is moving through the wall as well as running down the outside.

The height of the crust matters. Deposits near the roof deck suggest water entering near the flashing line; deposits higher up, just under the roof sheathing at the top of the attic, point toward the crown or the top courses. We brush a patch clean so that after the repair, you can see whether new crust forms.

FAQ

Before the water test

What if the test does not reproduce the leak?

Then we say so, along with the zones that stayed dry and what that rules out. Leaks that only appear in wind-driven rain can be hard to reproduce with a hose, and we may suggest a leak log and a second test targeted at the likely face.

Could the leak be coming from the roof itself?

It could, and then the written finding says so, with the zones we tested and where the water appeared. That gives your roofer a head start. We do not charge chimney repairs for a leak the chimney did not cause.
