Make the call before anything else in Simpsonville. 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 Simpsonville, KY.
Do not use the fireplace while the chimney is leaking in Simpsonville, KY. Introducing heat into a wet masonry assembly accelerates thermal stress damage to components that are already compromised.

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