Make the call before anything else in Orchard Homes. Getting a technician dispatched to your address is the single most important action you can take. Everything else can be done while you are waiting for us to arrive in Orchard Homes, MT.
Do not use the fireplace while the chimney is leaking in Orchard Homes, MT. Introducing heat into a wet masonry assembly accelerates thermal stress damage to components that are already compromised.

If water is dripping through the ceiling, guide it into a bucket with a piece of string attached to the drip point. It limits splash spread and floor damage significantly in Orchard Homes, MT.

Multiple angles and distances in Orchard Homes. This documentation is essential for insurance claims and for Brushers' diagnostic process when we arrive in Orchard Homes, MT.
