CHIMNEYS
Whether you have a brick, stone, or stucco clad chimney, foregone maintenance can cause water to penetrate into your roof.
A properly flashed chimney is going to have an impermeable membrane, step-flashing, and counterflashing (flashed into) the wall face of the chimney.
Often, when a leak is occurring in or around a chimney, repairing/installing a roof is NOT ENOUGH, and often it’s prudent to examine the condition of your existing chimney.
At RJD, we will inspect your chimney with your roof to ensure any work performed will remain long-lasting and watertight. RJD is outfitted to re-cap, re-crown, and re-point your chimney.
Make sure you periodically check your chimney for water infiltration, especially after heavy rains accompanied by wind! Remember—Masonry is POROUS—one small crack can produce a high volume of water in a short period of time!
