Chimney leaks from ice dams and flashing failure
Why it happens here
Ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes at the roof edge. This forces water under flashing and into the chimney. Older flashing may be corroded. This is very common in Franklin Town Center.
Our approach
We inspect flashing and repair or replace it. We also apply water repellent to the masonry. We may recommend a chimney cap with a wider overhang. We stop leaks fast.
