Dealing With Chimney Leaks In or Near Ormond Beach, Port Orange, or Orlando?

Suffer No Longer –  Turn to Legendary Chimney Solutions

When it comes to chimney care services, preventing leaks is one of the most important things a homeowner can prioritize.

And since we’re no stranger to rainfall and precipitation here in Eastern Central Florida, the team at Legendary Chimney urges homeowners nearby to rely on us for maintenance that will last.

We Offer Preventive Measures to Keep You Water-Free

Now, when it comes to repairing leaks in your chimney, we can certainly assist with anything you’d need. That said, we’d rather help you implement preventive measures to keep damages from ever occurring in the first place. The three big things we suggest investing in are:

  • Chimney Caps: Chimney caps are one of the first lines of defense when it comes to keeping rain, snow, sleet, and any other type of moisture out of your chimney.
  • Waterproofing Services: Once your masonry is restored and repaired, waterproofing services safeguard it from soaking in harmful moisture.
  • Chase Covers: Chase covers can be installed on both prefab and masonry chimneys to service as a type of metal crown, directing water out and away from the flue.

In addition, when it comes to preventing damage, one of the best things you can do is invest in annual chimney inspections and sweepings. This maintenance ensures any problems or areas of concern are noted and addressed quickly – and that you don’t face huge and costly issues down the line.

In the end, we’d much rather prevent damage than repair damage. And we’re guessing that’s your preference too. Give us a call or book online now to guarantee the quality protection your household deserves.

Excess Moisture & Chimney Damage: What Will an Unprotected Chimney Face?

If your chimney is not set up to prevent water damage and leaks, you could experience a long list of issues, not just throughout your chimney, but throughout your home as well.

Some of these include:

  • Rusted or broken-down damper assemblies
  • Deterioration throughout metal components of your chimney
  • Rotting throughout adjacent woodwork
  • Ceiling and wall stains in the attic or near the chimney
  • Rusted fireplace accessories
  • Damage to your fireplace’s glass doors
  • Mold or mildew growth in your chimney and home
  • Damage to your central heating system
  • Staining on your chimney’s masonry or chase cover
  • Deterioration throughout your chimney liner
  • Decayed or crumbling mortar joints
  • Missing or cracked brickwork
  • Potential chimney settlement or collapse
  • Tilting in your chimney structure
  • Foul odors due to creosote mixing with the water

And while all of these issues vary and must be addressed differently, they all share one common factor – they cost a lot of money to fix. Avoid high repair costs by getting affordable inspections and preventive care done early. We’re here to help.
