About This Service
Separate old stains from active entry
Discoloration can remain after a past event. Tell us whether it is changing and what has already been repaired. The assessment should not use an old mark alone as evidence that the same water path remains active or that the previous work has failed.
Protect interior restoration plans
Repainting or replacing a damaged finish does not itself correct exterior water entry. We discuss the relevant chimney work before treating interior restoration as complete. Interior repair can have its own contractor and scope, which should be scheduled with the moisture concern in mind.
Match Junction Work to Surrounding Materials
Roof coverings and chimney construction can affect the detail being repaired at their intersection. Identify the materials actually present before treating an example from another property as the specification. Twin explains the relevant chimney work and any separate roof scope needed to address the connection coherently.
Do Not Equate Mesh With Water Protection
A screen or mesh component and the top of a cap perform different roles within the fitting. Damage should be assessed as part of the complete cap and termination. Replacing a screen alone is not evidence that a crown, flashing or other water-entry concern has been corrected.
Confirm Treatment Suitability
A surface product must suit the material and condition to which it is applied. Existing coatings and unrepaired defects matter to that decision. Twin discusses the purpose of a proposed treatment after assessment, rather than offering it as an automatic addition to every chimney leak repair.
