Water is leaking into the home through a chimney due to insufficient water diversion from the roof and permeable brick, and the homeowner needs to identify and apply a reliable long-term fix.
Existing solutions like standard flashing and sealants may not adequately handle water runoff from the roof, and homeowners lack a comprehensive, easy-to-apply system that addresses both flashing and brick permeability.
