What a Sewall's Point chimney leak repair actually includes
Here is what we actually do on a Sewall's Point chimney leak repair. We water-test and inspect the usual suspects in order — a cracked crown, lifted flashing at the roofline, open mortar joints, a missing or rusted cap, and porous brick — then quote the specific fix rather than sealing everything and hoping. This close to the St. Lucie River, that means assuming salt-air corrosion on every exposed metal part — cap, flashing, and damper. Around Sewall's Point the gap between a quick fix and a larger job is usually how long it has been left, which is why we look before we price.
- Crown crack sealing or recasting
