What Is Included in a Chimney Leak Inspection?
At Santa's Chimney Services, we carefully assess your chimney for signs of water intrusion and moisture damage. Our inspection focuses on identifying potential entry points and the conditions that may be allowing water into your chimney system.
We Inspect the Chimney Crown
We examine the chimney crown for cracks, deterioration, and damaged areas that may allow water to enter the chimney structure.
We Check Roof Flashing
We inspect the flashing around your chimney for gaps, loose sections, and damaged seals that could allow rainwater to penetrate your roof.
We Inspect the Fireplace
We inspect the fireplace, damper, and throat for efflorescence and signs of water ingress.
We Inspect Chimney Masonry
We look for cracked mortar joints, deteriorating bricks, and damaged masonry that may allow moisture to penetrate the chimney.
We Identify Signs of Water Damage
We look for visible water stains, moisture, efflorescence, and deterioration that may indicate an ongoing or previous leak.
