A chimney repair contractor who explains first
The timing of a leak narrows the search
Water that appears during a storm often has a short path from outside, such as a gap at the roof junction. Water that appears a day later may have soaked slowly through masonry first. Staining that shows up only when wind comes from one direction often points to the chimney face that takes that wind.
Keep a simple note of when you see water, how heavy the rain was and where the mark appears. That record narrows the search before anyone climbs a ladder. Mention it when you book the free inspection, along with any earlier repair made at the same spot.
When the chimney hides inside a framed box
When a factory-built chimney runs through a framed enclosure, the enclosure itself becomes part of the weather barrier. Its siding or stucco, the metal cover on top and the seal around the flue all have to shed water together.
Rot, soft siding or rust stains on a chase often trace back to the top cover or its seams. We check the cover, the storm collar and the framing we can reach. Repairs that touch the listed system stay within the chimney maker's instructions, and chimney chase repair covers the enclosure work itself.
The trouble with quick patch kits
Patch kits, spray sealants and roof cement promise a fast fix for chimney cracks and leaks. Applied over damp or broken material, they tend to fail and can make the real repair harder to carry out.
If you have already tried a patch, tell us what was used and where. We may need to remove it to see the damage beneath. There is no judgment in that, and knowing about it early keeps the estimate accurate. The removal is listed as its own step, so you can see what it adds before approving.
Sloped shoulders where the chimney narrows
Many masonry chimneys are wider at the fireplace and narrow above it. The step or slope where they narrow, often called the shoulder, can hold water if it is not shaped and finished to shed it.
Look for dark patches, open joints or plants on the shoulders. We check whether the surface sheds water and whether the joints are sound. Repairs there are usually modest, but they protect the masonry below from slow, repeated soaking. The shoulder is easy to overlook from the ground, so we check it from close range where access allows.

Answers on chimney restoration in Dillard Park
What if you find more damage once the work has started?
We stop and show you the new finding before the scope grows. You hear what it means and what it would add, and that extra item goes ahead only if you agree to it.
Does a chimney I no longer use still need repairs?
If it is damaged, yes. An unused chimney still sheds rain around its top and at the roof junction. Loose masonry or an open joint can let water into the house whether or not a fire is ever lit.
Should chimney repairs wait until after a planned new roof?
It is better to plan them together. Masonry and flashing work at the roof junction often ties into the new covering, so we agree the sequence with your roofer before either job starts.
