Chimney Leaks Causing Trouble? Expert Solutions for Chicago Homes
December 18, 2024
Chimney leaks are a common issue, often caused by poor or deteriorating flashing around the chimney. Over time, flashing—the material that seals the gap between the chimney and the roof—can wear down, leaving gaps for water to seep through. This can lead to interior water damage, mold growth, and structural issues if left unchecked. In Chicago and surrounding areas, harsh weather conditions like heavy rain, snow, and freezing temperatures can further exacerbate the problem, making prompt roof repairs essential to protecting your home.
Here at Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in addressing chimney leaks with precision and care. Our team will start by removing the shingles around the chimney and prepping the area with new Ice and Water Shield or synthetic felt as needed. We’ll then provide and install new step flashing or baby tins to ensure proper water diversion. To secure a long-lasting solution, we install new aluminum flashing around the perimeter of the chimney and apply OSI commercial-grade caulk for a watertight seal. Once the area is protected, we complete the repair by installing shingles that match your existing roof as closely as possible. For roof repair needs in Chicago and nearby areas, trust Anchor Point Roofing to deliver expert, leak-free solutions.
