Leaky Chimney in PTC 30269
This home in Peachtree City had a leak inside the home to the left of the fireplace. I initially re did the complete flashing around the base of the chimney with new shingles. The next time it rained, it leaked again so we had to get to the top of the chimney to check it out. It was so high up, but we had to get up there because that is the only place it could be leaking from. I was horrified to see the terrible condition of the chimney cap. It was the worst I had ever seen. It was completely rusted out.
I built a new chimney cap for the home. It also needed to be framed and decked over. I put decking over the chimney because the previous cap had weakened and sunked in over the years. This caused water to pool and rust. The new plywood decking would stop this from happening again.
Installing the Custom Chimney Cap
After we pulled the spark arrestor, we pulled out the old fasteners holding on the old cap. We then framed in the hollow chimney and installed ½ inch plywood decking over the opening. Once the cap was built, we installed it and replaced the old spark arrestor. The job turned out well and the homeowner was very happy with the results!
