Chimney Leaks & Storm Damage in Stone Mountain, GA
Staining on the ceiling beside the chimney breast is water arriving from higher up. We find the entry point rather than seal the symptom. Granite country, a genuine historic village, and 1970s subdivisions — three different chimney problems in one city.

Chimney Leaks & Storm Damage for Stone Mountain Homeowners
Stone Mountain's historic village holds late-1800s housing with original masonry, and some of it uses local granite rather than brick, which behaves differently: granite is far less absorbent than brick but the mortar between it still fails, and repointing stone is a more exacting job than repointing brickwork. Out through Rockbridge and Hidden Hills the housing is 1970s and 1980s subdivision with conventional flues. The village properties are the ones that need specialist attention, and they are also the ones most likely to have had a well-meaning previous repair done in the wrong material.
Late-1800s village masonry including local granite alongside 1970s-1980s subdivision flues; previous repairs in the wrong mortar are common.
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.

Why Stone Mountain Homeowners Choose Us
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.

Our Stone Mountain Service Process
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.

Yes. Fluora Prime Chimmey Sweep provides professional chimney leaks & storm damage throughout Stone Mountain, GA and the surrounding DeKalb County area. Call (770) 230-0990 to schedule.
Yes. Stone needs a different approach — the units are far less absorbent than brick, so water moves through the mortar joints instead, and repointing has to be done to suit. It is more exacting work and we price it accordingly, but it is very much what we do.
Usually, yes. Mismatched mortar is visible, and mortar that is too hard for the surrounding masonry announces itself over a few winters by damaging the units around it. We will photograph what we find and tell you whether it needs redoing or simply monitoring.
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.
