Chimney Leaks

There are two reasons for a chimney to sweat: normal condensation, and leaks in the chimney structure.

Chimney Flashing
&Chimney Liner

Chimney flashing and chimney liners are two important components of a safe and efficient chimney system. Chimney flashing is the metal or other material used to seal the gap between the chimney and the roof, preventing water and other debris from entering the home. Chimney liners, on the other hand, are protective barriers that line the inside of the chimney. They serve to protect the chimney walls from the corrosive byproducts of combustion, such as creosote, while also helping to improve draft and prevent chimney fires.

What Services do we Provide?

Chimney Repair & Restoration Chicago.

If you’ve noticed dampness on the bricks and mortar of your chimney or the inside walls of your home adjacent to the chimney, you are probably dealing with chimney sweating.

It depends on the repair work that the chimney needs, common problems are water dripping, condensation, yellowish water dripping in the basement – fixing chimney leaks.

There are two reasons for a chimney to sweat: normal condensation, and leaks in the chimney structure.

The material that we usually use to cover chimneys is aluminum.

Normal Chimney Condensation

If you’ve noticed dampness on the bricks and mortar of your chimney or the inside walls of your home adjacent to the chimney, you are probably dealing with chimney sweating.

When it’s cold outside and the warm, humid air inside the home contacts the cold walls of the chimney, the warm air will condense on the cold surface and result in dripping.

The sweating in this case is normal and will cease once a fire is built and the chimney heats up – brick chimney leaks.

How To Prevent Chimney Sweating

Chimneys that don’t have a quality flue liner are more prone to sweating. If you’re running your fireplace without a chimney liner, consider having one installed. Liners isolate the air inside the chimney from the chimney walls, resulting in slower cooling of the walls and less production of condensation on the outside of the chimney.

If you’re experiencing some chimney sweating and want to know the specific cause and if any repair measures need to be taken, call the experts at ENRIQUEZ LLC of Chicago Illinois. We can help with every aspect of cleaning, repair, inspection and maintenance of your chimney and fireplace. Reach us by phone at (773) 952-0517 – Chimney leaks

I would describe Gutter Enriquez LLC as a company with integrity. I had been looking near and far, without success, for someone to clean the gutters of my home for months. The original person moved out of IL. During a recent winter rainy Saturday (12/14/24) evening in Chicago, the ceiling of my home started leaking. On Sunday, a friend researched companies and discovered Gutter Enriquez, LLC and I am glad he did. I scheduled the appointment on a Sunday (12/15/24). A technician was at my home on Monday (12/16/24) to clean the gutters, assess roof and recommend work needed. When the work began, the work was complete within a day. The communication, in-person inspection, work day, status checks and follow up, Gutter Enriquez did everything with patience and excellence. I can say I am satisfied with the service all around and will be a returning customer.I have recommended them already and highly recommend them to anyone in need of any of their services. Thank you. I am immensely grateful. Continued success!

On my ever growing list of things to do was to obtain an estimate to replace some aluminum siding on my house that was ripped away by these Chicago winds. It’s been looking ugly for months but in less than two days of contacting Gutter Enriquez LLC, it was all fixed and prettied up. The estimate was fair and they immediately did the job. They were professional and courteous and good in their communications.

Had Gutters Enriquez install a scupper box and downspouts for my flat roof. Edwin came out a few hours after I called him to give me a quote. I already had all of the materials pre purchased and on-site. The price was reasonable so the guys came out 2 days later to do the job.Hernan and Carlos did a good job and were very professional and they were also considerate. They had some questions along the way as this job involved cutting the brick through-hole to install the scupper and then repairing the bitumen (rubber) roof. The roof has seen better days but they were thoughtful about where they were cutting. I really appreciated they were careful about their tools and placement of supplies (e.g. nails) so as to not damage the part of the roof that was not being worked on.The guys cleaned up a couple of times along the way and also afterwards without me having to ask.Would definitely hire them again for this type of job. Thank you guys!Edit: couple of big storms and roof has been holding up great. The bigger scupper box definitely solved the problem I was having. The guys did a great job installing it.

I hired Gutter Enriquez to replace the gutters all around my house. They got the work completed in a timely manner and ensured that I was satisfied with the work. I liked that they checked the quality of the work by running water through the gutters to ensure that everything was correctly installed. I also appreciated that they made any accomodations that I requested, such as adding a bit of extra caulking in an area that was prone to leaking in the pastI'd definitely hire them in the future.

I found Gutter Enriquez by conducting a random internet search and I am immensely pleased with their work product. I hired them to replace gutters, soffits and fascia and, upon timely completion of that project, I hired them to replace a flat top garage roof top. They started the second project the day after they completed the first project. Their work is perfection! The work crews start early and work late; they thoroughly cleaned all work areas and removed materials debris exceptionally well. Owner Jose Enriquez is responsive, professional and his services are reasonably priced. We will be hiring him for another project in the spring!
