We Find the Exact Entry Point

We do not guess. We pressure-test, camera-scope, and water-test to find the exact water entry point.

Crown, flashing, cap, brick, or siding: we fix the real problem, not just the symptom. Active leak? Call 770-274-9687 for same-day emergency tarp help when available.

If the leak has already damaged brick or mortar, our chimney masonry repair in Newnan GA page explains crown rebuilds, tuckpointing, and brick repair options.

Where Newnan Chimneys Leak: The Big 4

After leak calls across Coweta County, most water entry comes from these four failures.

Cracked Chimney Crown

Builder crowns in Summergrove, Eden, and White Oak are often thin with no drip edge. Once they crack, water can run down inside the brick.

See our crown repair page.

Failed Chimney Flashing

Where the roof meets the chimney, step flashing can rust, counter-flashing can pull loose, or old caulk can fail around the roofline.

See our chimney flashing repair.

Rusted Chase Cover or No Cap

Sided chimneys often have galvanized chase covers that rust through. Water can pour directly into prefab firebox systems.

See our chase cover replacement and chimney caps.

Porous Brick & Failed Mortar

Older brick in Historic Newnan and Senoia can soak up water. Eroded mortar joints and spalling brick let the wall itself leak.

Most leaks are two or more of these combined. We inspect all four so you fix it once.

Our Chimney Leak Diagnosis Process

Interior Inspection

Attic, firebox, ceiling, and surrounding finishes. We trace water paths and check for moisture damage.

Exterior Camera Review

High-resolution photos of crown, flashing, cap, brick, and chase cover from multiple angles.

Controlled Water Test

When needed, we isolate sections with controlled hose testing to confirm the entry point.

Flue Camera Scope

If interior damage is suspected, we can inspect inside the flue to look for water paths and damage.

Written Plan + Photos

You get pictures of failure points and an itemized repair plan. No mystery leak work.

Same-Day Diagnosis

Most leaks can be diagnosed the same day. Diagnostic fee is $175 and credited if you hire us for the repair.

Why Roofers Often Miss Chimney Leaks

We get calls from Newnan homeowners after a roofer “fixed” the leak and the stain came back.

  • Roofers seal flashing. Many chimney leaks start above the roofline at the crown, cap, or brick.
  • Caulk is not a rebuild. Caulk on flashing or crowns may only last one Georgia summer.
  • Masonry needs masonry repair. Brick, mortar, and concrete need different repairs than shingles.
  • No water test means guessing. We test before we bill.

We specialize in chimney water entry. That focus is why we find leaks others miss.

FAQ - Chimney Leaks in Coweta County

Often, yes. Wind-driven rain hits the chimney from multiple sides. If the stain is near your fireplace, the source is commonly the crown, flashing, or cap. We water test to prove it.
Rubberized spray can trap water inside masonry and accelerate freeze/thaw damage. Chimney leaks need breathable sealers, flashing repair, caps, or rebuilds depending on the source.
If the damage is sudden and accidental, maybe. Long-term seepage or wear and tear is often not covered. We document what we find with photos for your records or claim.
Call before 3pm Monday-Friday and we can often respond the same day with tarps, depending on weather, location, and current schedule. Active leaks get priority.
Gas fireplaces may leak more because there is little heat to dry the system out. Water can sit in the firebox, rust metal parts, and create odor or mold concerns.
