Water Leaking Around Chimney in Chicago? Find the Source & Fix It

Discovering water leaking around your chimney in your Chicago home is a red flag that needs immediate attention. Often, the culprit behind this issue is compromised or poorly installed flashing. Flashing is the metal sheeting installed at the intersection of your roof and the chimney. Its crucial job is to create a watertight seal, preventing rain and snow from seeping into your home. Over time, this flashing can deteriorate due to weather exposure, age, or improper installation, leading to gaps that allow water to penetrate.  

Here at Anchor Point Roofing, we understand the complexities of chimney leaks. Our experienced team will conduct a thorough assessment of the area around your chimney in Chicago to pinpoint the exact source of the leak. If the issue stems from faulty flashing, our expert repair process involves installing new step flashing, which integrates with your shingles along the sides of the chimney, and new aluminum flashing around the entire perimeter. To ensure a completely watertight seal and provide lasting protection, we apply a commercial-grade sealant on top of the newly installed aluminum flashing. This comprehensive approach effectively stops water intrusion and safeguards your home from potential water damage, mold growth, and structural issues.
