Fireplace leak detection work typically involves inspecting the fireplace and surrounding areas to identify sources of water intrusion or leaks, often using specialized tools such as moisture meters, infrared cameras, or smoke pencils. Technicians assess the condition of the chimney, flashing, seals, and venting systems to determine the origin and extent of the leak. When evaluating requests, important details include the history of water intrusion, visible signs of damage or staining, the age and construction type of the fireplace, and any recent repairs or alterations that might influence the diagnosis. Accurate assessment relies on clear communication of these details to determine the appropriate repair strategy and ensure the integrity of the fireplace system.
