Keep a simple log of each leak
A short written log is one of the most useful things you can bring to a leak visit. Each time water appears, jot down the date, how heavy the rain was, how long it lasted and roughly which way the wind was blowing.
Add where the water showed up and whether it was a drip, a damp patch or a stain that grew. After a few entries a pattern usually appears. Share the log when you book the free inspection in Washington Park, because it narrows the search before anyone reaches the roof.
A written record of the leak work
When the repair is complete, you receive a written record of the work. It names the path we found, the part we repaired, the materials used and anything we saw that was left for later.
Keep it with your home papers. If a leak appears again, the record shows what was done and where. A future contractor can see what was repaired without guessing. It also helps you track which parts of the chimney have been dealt with and which have not.
Leak repair in Washington Park follows one order
Every chimney leak repair in Washington Park follows the same order: trace, confirm, repair, then check. Skipping ahead to the repair is how leaks end up patched several times without stopping.
Tracing starts with your history and the marks inside. Confirming may need a closer look at the top, the roof junction or the masonry, and sometimes a hose water test if the job calls for it. The repair is then written for the confirmed path. The check comes with the next heavy rain, and we want to hear how it went.
Keeping people clear during the work
While we work on the chimney top or the roof junction, tools and debris can come down. Keep children and pets away from the area below the chimney. If it is a patio, a walkway or a pool deck, we mark it off.
Tell us if a door or path near the chimney needs to stay in use. We can plan around it. At the end of the day the area below is cleared, and the final clean-up includes a sweep for small debris.

Leak questions answered for Washington Park
Should I seal the chimney myself while I wait for the visit?
It is better not to. Surface sealers applied without knowing the path often miss it and can hide the evidence we need. Catch the drips, protect the room and hold off using the fireplace until we have looked.
Is the leak coming from the chimney or from the roof?
That is one of the first things we sort out. We check the chimney top, the roof junction, the masonry and the roofing nearby, and look for other roof openings close to the chimney. The findings say which one the evidence supports.
How long does a chimney leak repair take?
That depends on the part involved and how easy it is to reach. Resealing the joint around a flue is quick, while rebuilding a crown or reworking a roof junction takes longer. The estimate gives the expected duration for your chimney.
