Who Do You Call For A Leaking Chimney?
You may be wondering who you should call if you have a leaking chimney. While your instinct may be to call your trusted roofing company, it is better to call a certified chimney company, such as The Mad Hatter. Here’s why.
Why You Should Contact a Chimney Company for Chimney Issues
It is true that some roof repair companies also repair chimneys. However, your chimney repair work should be left to chimney professionals. After all, you wouldn’t call a chimney company to fix your roof – so why call a roofing company to fix your chimney?
Experts In All Things Chimneys
Even though the two are connected, the roof and the chimney are entirely different structures. A professional chimney company, like The Mad hatter, has experience diagnosing and solving common chimney issues, including a leaking chimney. This makes a chimney company the preferred choice over a roofing company. In fact, The Mad Hatter has been in business since 1978 and is one of the largest chimney service companies in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Southeastern United States.
CSIA Certification
The Mad Hatter is certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). Roofing companies are often not. We recommend that you ensure that the company you hire to repair your chimney is certified with the CSIA. Doing so can help you avoid expensive chimney issues, keep your home and family safe, and provide peace of mind that the repairs will be done right the first time. The Mad Hatter is also proud to be a member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild.
Experience Repairing Chimney Leaks and Other Damage
Chimney leaks are one of the most common issues people contact roofers about rather than a chimney company. This is because water damage will often appear on the ceiling near the chimney. It is important, however, to fix the cause of the water damage, and not only the water damage itself.
Chimney leaks can have multiple causes. This makes hiring a chimney company an even smarter move, as they can pinpoint the problem within your chimney. Often a leaking chimney is the result of the following:
- Missing bricks
- Cracked crown or siding
- Damaged flashing
- Damaged Rain Cap or Pan
