Inspection of the day – Active water intrusion

My first appointment today was a active water leak coming down from the pre-fabricated fireplace and onto the front tile and the new wood floors! Unfortunately this is a very common call for inspection and the number one culprit is this guy.. The roof was replaced recently but roofers rarely inform the client that the chimney chase cover is essentially the roof of the chimney and likely should be replaced as well. If you are having your roof replaced, consider replacing your chase cover or at least have someone on the roof snap a picture and take a look at the condition of the chase cover.
