8 Steps on Stopping a Chimney Flashing Leak:

  1. Identify the Source of the Leak
    Carefully inspect the area around the chimney to locate the exact source of the leak. Pay special attention to vulnerable spots such as vent pipes, flashing, and any other roof penetrations near the chimney structure.

  2. Clean the Surface Thoroughly
    Before making any repairs, ensure the area is clean and free of dust, dirt, loose debris, or old roofing materials. Use a stiff brush or blower to clean the surface. This step is essential for ensuring proper adhesion of the sealant.

  3. Remove Old Caulking (if present)
    If the area was previously sealed with caulk or another sealant, remove it thoroughly using a scraper or utility knife. Old, cracked, or peeling material can prevent the new sealant from bonding effectively.

  4. Prepare the Turbo Poly Seal
    Open the container of Turbo Poly Seal and stir it thoroughly to ensure an even consistency. This advanced waterproofing compound is designed for flexibility and long-lasting protection.

  5. Apply the First Coat
    Using a brush, apply an even layer of Turbo Poly Seal directly over the damaged or leaky area. Make sure to extend the sealant slightly beyond the affected section to create a proper seal.

  6. Embed Polyester Fleece
    While the first coat is still wet, cut a piece of Polyester Fleece to fit over the repair area and press it into the wet sealant. This fleece reinforces the repair and adds strength and flexibility.

  7. Apply the Final Coat
    Once the fleece is in place, apply a second, generous coat of Turbo Poly Seal over it. Make sure to fully saturate and cover the fleece, extending the sealant past the edges for complete protection.

  8. Optional: Apply UV Protective Coating
    After the Turbo Poly Seal has fully cured (refer to product instructions for cure time), you can apply a layer of Silver Coat or similar UV-protective coating. This optional step helps shield the repair from long-term sun damage and extends its lifespan.
