Make the call before anything else in Suncook. 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 Suncook, NH.
Do not use the fireplace while the chimney is leaking in Suncook, NH. Introducing heat into a wet masonry assembly accelerates thermal stress damage to components that are already compromised. It can also force combustion gases through leak pathways that extend into the interior structure in Suncook.

Place towels, buckets, or plastic sheeting under any active drip point in Suncook. 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 Suncook, NH.

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

Sealant applied to the wrong location creates a false sense of resolution that complicates the diagnosis when Brushers arrives in Suncook, NH.

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 Suncook. The insulation, the framing lumber, the paper facing on drywall are all organic materials that mold establishes on quickly once moisture is present in Suncook, NH. By the time mold is visible on the interior surface, the colony in the cavity behind it is already well established in Suncook. The fastest way to limit mold risk from a chimney leak is to stop the water entry as fast as possible in Suncook, NH.
