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.

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
