Why Chimney Leaks & Storm Damage Matters
A chimney is the only part of a roof that is deliberately full of holes, and in a climate that delivers as much rain as Atlanta does, the odds catch up with it. Water gets in at four places: a cracked crown, failed flashing where the stack passes through the roof, a missing or damaged cap, and brickwork that has become porous enough to drink. The difficulty is that the stain inside the house rarely appears under the actual entry point — water tracks down the outside of the flue and shows up a storey below. Sealing where the stain is achieves nothing, which is why people end up paying for the same leak three times.

Benefits of Chimney Leaks & Storm Damage
Traced, Not Guessed
We work back from the stain to the entry point, on the roof, before anything is sealed.
One Repair Instead of Three
Fixing the actual cause is cheaper than sealing three plausible causes and hoping.
Storm Damage Handled Fast
A cap gone or masonry down after a storm is an open hole. The phone is answered at any hour, including that one.
The Damage Inside Too
Spoiled plaster, stained masonry and a rusted damper are all part of the same job, not a separate call.
Breathable Waterproofing
Masonry sealer that stops liquid water entering but still lets the wall dry outward. The wrong sealer traps water in and makes spalling worse.
Documented for a Claim
Storm damage is often an insurance matter. You get photographs and a written account of what failed.
Signs You Need This Service
If you notice any of these, it's time to call Fluora Prime.

- The damper has rusted, stiffened or seized
- A musty smell near the fireplace that gets worse after heavy rain
- Flashing lifted, split, or visibly pulled away where the stack meets the roof
- Masonry or cap parts on the roof or in the yard after a storm

How We Do It
Look at the Stain
Where it is, what shape it is and when it appears tell us a great deal before anyone goes up a ladder.
Get on the Roof
Crown, flashing, cap, chase cover and brick face, examined and photographed at close range.
Identify the Entry Point
One fault, or several. Either way you see the photograph of it before we quote.
Close It Properly
Recast, reflash, re-cap or repoint as the fault requires — the repair that suits the cause.
Repair the Consequences
Damaged plaster, staining and corroded components inside, once the water is stopped.
Waterproof if Needed
A breathable repellent across sound masonry, where it will genuinely help rather than trap moisture.
Chimney Leaks & Storm Damage Questions
Often both, in the sense that the failure is at the joint between them — the flashing. We photograph what we find and show you, so the answer is a picture rather than a claim. If it genuinely is the roof deck rather than the chimney, we will tell you that too.
Only if the brick is the entry point and the crown and flashing are sound. Sealer over a cracked crown does nothing at all — the water is not coming through the brick face. And the wrong sealer, the non-breathable kind, traps moisture inside the masonry and accelerates spalling.
The phone is staffed every hour of every day. An open flue with rain going into it is not a Monday problem, and we do not treat it as one.
Often, for sudden storm damage — much less often for gradual deterioration, which is why documentation matters. We photograph what failed and write up what we found, so you have something to submit.
