Common signs include water stains on the ceiling or walls near the fireplace, moisture or dripping in the attic around the chimney, or visible rust, cracks, or gaps in the metal flashing itself. Given our local weather, these leaks often worsen during heavy rain. A professional inspection from Rickey & Sons can pinpoint the exact issue before it leads to more extensive water damage or mold.

This is often due to poor attic ventilation, which is a frequent issue in our climate. Warm, moist air from your home rises into the attic and condenses on the cooler roof deck and insulation. Over time, this moisture reduces insulation effectiveness and can lead to wood rot and mold. We assess your roof's ventilation system and can install solutions like ridge vents or soffit vents to promote proper airflow and keep your attic dry.

In many cases, yes. If the surrounding roof is in good condition, a targeted repair of the chimney flashing is often sufficient. We carefully remove the old, compromised flashing, seal the area, and install new, weather-resistant flashing that is properly integrated with your existing shingles. This focused repair addresses the specific leak point, protecting your home and chimney structure without the need for a full roof replacement.
