Why we do not start with sealer
A spray-on sealer across the whole chimney is the quickest thing anyone can sell for a leak, and on a chimney in Mayport with a cracked crown or open flashing it does nothing useful. Water keeps coming in through the opening, and the sealer can trap moisture already inside the brick.
A vapor-permeable water repellent has a place, but only once every opening is shut and the brick has dried out. It is offered as an optional extra after the repairs it depends on, which makes plain it is not a substitute for them. Book the free leak inspection for your Mayport home at (904) 920-5495, ideally before the next rain.
Mayport is one of the named neighborhoods of Jacksonville. Mayport falls within Duval County.

How It Works
How chimney leak repair runs
-
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.

Flooding the crown with the flue covered
To test the crown on its own, the flue opening is covered so no water can run down the liner, and a gentle flow is run across the top of the crown for a set time. Water that gets into cracks in the crown, or around the flue tile where there is no bond break, drops into the core of the chimney.
Because that water has farther to travel, crown leaks can take a while to appear inside. We watch the attic and the firebox for longer on this zone, and we note how long it took, because a delayed result is itself a sign of water moving through masonry.
The check after the first heavy rain
A repair is proven by the next real storm. After a leak repair, we ask you to watch the old stain area during the first heavy rain and let us know what you see. Where it makes sense, we come back after that rain to check the attic and take moisture readings on the chimney breast.
If the area stays dry, the repair is confirmed and the interior work can go ahead. If a smaller drip remains, it points to a second, slower path that the first leak was masking, and we test for it with the main entry already closed.
Keeping a leak log before the visit
A few notes kept by the homeowner can save hours of testing. Each time the leak appears, write down the date, whether it was raining hard or lightly, which way the wind was blowing if you know, and how long after the rain started the water showed up.
Note where it appeared and roughly how much came in. Two or three entries can reveal a pattern, such as leaks only in wind from one side or only after long soaking rain, and that pattern tells us which zones to test first and how long to watch each one. Bring the log to the first visit.

FAQ
Before the water test
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.
Does the first-service discount apply to leak work?
It does. Leak tracing and repair count like any other job toward 10% off your first service. Bring it up on the call.
