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

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

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