A Seeping Chimney Can Cause Long-Term Damage A seeping chimney is a slow, gradual way of water entering into the home and causing damage slowly, steadily and over time. The seeping chimney damage can range from a minor repair to something far more extensive. However, when it comes to water, it certainly doesn’t play nice with the materials your home is made from, including your chimney. Let’s take a look at some of the various damage that can occur when your chimney leaks and makes its way to the various part of your home. Wall Damage One of the most obvious telltale signs of a water leak from the seeping chimney is wall damage. When it reaches your walls, the paint can peel, the wall can little bubbles or even the drywall can begin to chip away. No different if you have crown molding, wood paneling or other decorative aspects to your walls. Water can make the varnish peel and cause discoloration. When your chimney isn’t inspected each year by a certified technician, these damages can be very expensive to repair. Mold Growth Many of us have experienced mold in the bathroom. Why? Because it is a perfect place for mold to grow. You have the perfect main ingredient. Moisture. If a seeping chimney allows for moisture to enter your home, it can create a perfect scenario for mold to grow. Mold can be harmful to your heath, especially if you have health issues such as asthma, allergies or emphysema to name a few. By maintaining a healthy chimney equipped with a chimney crown, chimney cap and a waterproofing solution called Chimney Saver, you can keep moisture out and your health in good shape. Soft Wood, Walls & More When water gets at wood or walls, and it drips over time, the wood and wall material turn soft and falls apart. This rotting makes the wood or walls flaky to the touch and can cause structural damage. There’s another issue that comes with rotting wood or water-logged walls…bugs and pests. This is the perfect vacation spot for bugs and pests. Keeping them out of your home is a top priority. Keep unwanted visitors out of your home by having an inspection on the chimney, the flue and down to the fireplace completed. Contact us today at 877-244-6349. We’re right here in Lombard, IL, close to where you reside. What You Can’t See Can Hurt You One way to ensure wall damage, mold spores and deteriorating wood and walls don’t happen is to get a yearly inspection on the chimney. Whether you have a gas or wood burning fireplace, use it all the time or not, rain water is still active trying to find its way into your home. Don’t give it that chance. Keep on top of it with a yearly inspection. Contact us today at 877-244-6349 to set an appointment for a fireplace clean and check for a certified chimney inspection.

Designing a completely round home is challenging! Add to that the two tubes are merely 8' wide. We commissioned an artist to paint a beautiful wall mural inspired by the Hawaiian Islands providing color, texture, visual interest and most important... visual perspective. Rather than feel trapped by the limits of the metal walls, our homeowners a surrounded by the illusion of depth and a view beyond... thus creating a relaxing master retreat for this couple. Luxury bedding and accent pillows suggest a tropical escape, even though the room is located 20' underground.
