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

Showed up bright and early and on time(!), worked all day and did a great job installing new gutters and guards. Cleaned up after themselves and even ran a magnet over our driveway to collect any fallen screws so they wouldn’t puncture our car tires. A great crew; highly recommended! Our house looks great!

I highly recommend Jose and his crew! We had a large ice damn form over the winter which split our downspout and ripped it from the side of the house. Jose’s team removed the old sections, replaced with new to match, and upgraded our corner downspouts which will now drain properly. They also added heat cables to avoid any problems with ice in the future. The job was done quickly and professionally. And all for a reasonable price!

Jose and his team did a great job on all new gutters for my home and garage over the summer. We were able to strategize on where to put downspouts together which I appreciated. Knowing his profession, he gave great tips and advice which was helpful as a homeowner. The work was done pristine and in a timely manner. The crew worked hard and definitely appreciated the water I would offer on the hot day. Take care of the crew, and the crew takes care of you. Months later I had some wind blow off some flashing on said home and a quick call to Jose, and his team were out the same day. I was even in his system from the previous job which felt nice as a consumer and felt responsible as a business owner on his end. Highly recommended and he’s my guy for said work moving forward.

Jose and his brother Gilson did an amazing job! I had water leaking from a basement window that was caused by water overflowing a spot in the gutter. I had a window well cover but there was a waterfall of water hitting it and water ran down the siding into top of the window seal. There was a small space between the well cover and siding. Jose and crew quickly figured out the gutters were installed incorrectly and pulled away from roof. They fixed and realigned the pitch.

Gilson also installed new gutters on my garage and installed a hand made water deflector for the basement well window to prevent any potential future issues. Jose and Gilson were responsive and did a great job at a reasonable price and were very helpful with a few additional small fixes. I will definitely use them again!
