Protect Your Property Through Inspection of Chimney Leaks

Today, we are addressing a common issue that can cause significant problems for homeowners: chimney leaks. For challenges of this sort, our team of experienced professionals is on-site, ready to inspect and resolve any chimney-related concerns. In this blog, let’s take a closer look at how we handle chimney repairs and why you can rely on our expertise for peace of mind.

Inspecting Chimney Issues 

Chimney leaks are inconvenient and can lead to water damage inside your home. We understand the significance of a thorough inspection at Green Ocean Property Management. As you can see in the video above, our team is climbing the rooftop to closely examine the chimney for any signs of damage or wear. By identifying the problem early on, we can promptly prevent water intrusion and potential structural issues.

During the inspection process, our team is likely to check for several common issues that can lead to chimney leaks, including:

Cracked or damaged chimney crown

The chimney crown is the topmost part of the chimney that covers the flue opening. If it has cracks or chips, water can seep through and cause leaks.

Damaged chimney flashing

Flashing is a metal or waterproof material that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof. Water can enter your home if the flashing is damaged or improperly installed.

Cracked chimney masonry

The brick or stone masonry of the chimney can develop cracks over time due to weathering and age, allowing water to penetrate the chimney.

Blocked chimney cap

The design of the chimney cap actively keeps rainwater, debris, and animals out of the chimney. If it is blocked or damaged, water can enter the chimney system.

Faulty chimney liner

The chimney liner protects the walls from heat and corrosion. If cracked or deteriorated, water can enter and damage the chimney structure.
