Leak somewhere around chimney, ? repair techniques?
what a problem....
we have a two flue brick chimney about 15ft by 4ft, 4 to 7 ft high, on a downward sloping shingled roof metal flashing is at base of chimney from brick into shingles Problem: heavy rains results in water drips at lower end of chimney coming through wood roof boards. So far I have had roofers reseal the metal flashing 3 different times. The brick chimney has been rechinked (by me) several years ago in a nonprofessional way by stuffing cement into mortared spaces between bricks. Some of this has come out but I am not certain this ever fixed problem Does anyone have suggestions on techniques or tradesmen to hire out and repair this problem? I have tried to find someone to rechink the chimney without luck Any suggestions on techniques will be apreciated. |
