Finding where the water actually enters
Your pro water-tests and inspects the usual suspects in order — a cracked crown, lifted flashing at the roofline, open mortar joints, a missing or rusted cap, and porous brick — then quotes the specific fix rather than sealing everything and hoping. Around Port St. Lucie West most of this work can be staged to fit your schedule, and your pro tells you up front how long the visit will take.
- Masonry waterproofing once the active leak is closed
- Crown crack sealing or recasting
- Flashing re-set and re-sealed at the roof junction
- Cap replacement where rain is entering the flue directly
