Do not use the fireplace while the chimney is leaking in Hurlburt Field, FL. Introducing heat into a wet masonry assembly accelerates thermal stress damage to components that are already compromised.

The fireplace stays off until Brushers has identified and repaired the source in Hurlburt Field, FL.
Place towels, buckets, or plastic sheeting under any active drip point in Hurlburt Field.

Mold does not wait for weeks before establishing in a wet wall cavity in Hurlburt Field, FL. Under favorable conditions, which a wet insulated wall cavity provides readily, mold can begin colonizing organic material within 24 to 48 hours of moisture exposure in Hurlburt Field. The insulation, the framing lumber, the paper facing on drywall are all organic materials that mold establishes on quickly once moisture is present in Hurlburt Field, FL. By the time mold is visible on the interior surface, the colony in the cavity behind it is already well established in Hurlburt Field. The fastest way to limit mold risk from a chimney leak is to stop the water entry as fast as possible in Hurlburt Field, FL.
One rain event through an unrepaired chimney leak saturates the insulation adjacent to the chimney and begins wicking moisture into the surrounding framing in Hurlburt Field.

Three rain events produce the conditions for mold establishment in the cavity if it has not begun already and begin accumulating the moisture that eventually reaches the interior finish surface as visible staining in Hurlburt Field.
