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

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

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 Veedersburg.

The fastest way to limit mold risk from a chimney leak is to stop the water entry as fast as possible in Veedersburg, IN.
