Chimney Leaks Frequently Asked Questions
My chimney is leaking inside the house, can I call my “chimney guy” or do I need a roofer?
While a Hearth Professional or NFI Certified Technician focuses on your interior firebox and flue liners, Smith Roofing & Exteriors focuses on the structural integrity of your chimney’s exterior. We don’t clean the soot; we stop the water from the outside in. Because we are a roofing and chimney specialist, we are best equipped to seal the exterior “envelope” of the chimney or roof details like a cricket where it meets your roof.
Why hire a roofing company for masonry work?
Most traditional chimney masons focus on the aesthetics of the brick. At Smith Roofing & Exteriors, we approach chimney masonry from a ‘water-shedding’ perspective. We ensure that your masonry isn’t just beautiful, but integrated perfectly with your roof’s flashing and drainage system to prevent leaks for decades.
Can a chimney leak cause roof rot?
Yes. When chimney flashing fails, water often seeps into the roof decking and rafters long before it’s visible on your living room ceiling. Our repairs include checking the structural integrity of the wood surrounding the chimney.
What is the most common cause of chimney leaks in Knoxville?
In East Tennessee, the most common causes are rusted-through covers (if there is one) and failed step flashing. Because this region experiences heavy rainfall and high humidity, masonry chimneys also suffer from “spalling,” where water enters the brick and causes the face to pop off during a freeze.
Why is my brick chimney “sweating” or turning white?
This is called efflorescence. It’s a sign that moisture is trapped inside the brick. We provide professional cleaning and breathable waterproofing sealants that allow liquids to escape while preventing future moisture from entering.
Does Smith Roofing offer warranties?
Most of the products we choose to offer comes with exceptional manufacturer’s materials warranties.
In addition, all of our work is backed by our company’s workmanship warranties… better than most roofing contractors in East Tennessee. We take pride in doing the job right the first time.
Does Smith Roofing offer financing on my chimney or other exterior projects?
Absolutely. We offer many flexible financing plans, including terms up to 120 months, low 7.9% or deferred interest for a year. You can quickly protect your home and still fit within your budget.
