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

Place towels, buckets, or plastic sheeting under any active drip point in Three Rivers. 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 Three Rivers, OR.

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

Three rain events produce the conditions for mold establishment in the cavity if it has not begun already and begin accumulating the moisture that eventually reaches the interior finish surface as visible staining in Three Rivers. Three rain events is not a long time in Three Rivers, OR. In a wet season it can be one week in Three Rivers.
