Make the call before anything else in Roslyn Estates. 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 Roslyn Estates, NY.
Do not use the fireplace while the chimney is leaking in Roslyn Estates, NY. 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 Roslyn Estates, NY.
Place towels, buckets, or plastic sheeting under any active drip point in Roslyn Estates. 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 Roslyn Estates, NY.

Mold does not wait for weeks before establishing in a wet wall cavity in Roslyn Estates, NY. 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 Roslyn Estates. The insulation, the framing lumber, the paper facing on drywall are all organic materials that mold establishes on quickly once moisture is present in Roslyn Estates, NY. By the time mold is visible on the interior surface, the colony in the cavity behind it is already well established in Roslyn Estates. The fastest way to limit mold risk from a chimney leak is to stop the water entry as fast as possible in Roslyn Estates, NY.
One rain event through an unrepaired chimney leak saturates the insulation adjacent to the chimney and begins wicking moisture into the surrounding framing in Roslyn Estates.
