Storm water in the chase? Stop it this week.
When melt or rain dumps into a Palatine chase, waiting for spring costs drywall. We stop the active path first, then write a package scope for the lasting repair.

When to call for a storm-water stop
Call when water is active after rain or melt, when the chase smells damp, or when stack brick is weeping. Do not wait for a dry week if the path is open.
What the visit covers
Crown cracks, step flashing, open joints, and where water exits inside. Photos stay with you. If it is a one-afternoon stop, that is the job. If the stack needs a rebuild, that is said on the roof with a package investment.
Northwest-suburban stacks do not wait for nice weather
Palatine ranch and split-level chimneys take freeze-thaw hits every winter. Once water finds a path under flashing or through a cracked crown, damage moves into the chase.
Serving Palatine and nearby towns with calendar-first scheduling — not coupon theater.
