New flashing and a black cap with mesh screen, finished up before the next round of fall rain.
The flashing is where most of the leaks we chase actually start. Water runs down the brick, finds the gap where the chimney meets the shingles, and shows up as a stain on the ceiling two rooms away from where anybody expects it. The mesh on the cap keeps rain, leaves and squirrels out of the flue while we are up there.
Seeing a brown ring on the ceiling near your fireplace, give us a call at (214) 301-0414 and we will get eyes on it.
