A stain near the chimney is water finding a way in — usually flashing, crown, cap or masonry.
Brown or yellow stains on the ceiling or wall next to the chimney mean water is getting in somewhere above and tracking down along the chimney to where you see it. The stain is rarely directly under the leak, which is why guessing usually wastes money.
We treat the stain as a symptom and trace it back to the real entry point — flashing, crown, cap, or the masonry itself — so the fix actually stops it. You’ll see the source before we recommend a repair.
Interior water staining means the leak has already gotten past the exterior and into the structure. Finding and fixing the source early prevents mold, ruined drywall and rotted framing — far more costly than the original chimney repair.
