Referral Water Damage

[John Stavropoulos]

I’m a new landlord in the Aurora area.

5 months ago I had a crack in my building’s chimney flashing that was letting in water to a tenant’s unit whenever it rained. I got the crack repaired and the problem seemed resolved until today they reported the same issue. 

I am going to get the original contractor who worked on the crack to check if his seal failed, but I am not entirely sure if this issue is due to the same source as last time. 

I am looking for someone who could help better diagnose the cause of the issue. Not sure if there’s hole in the siding, roofing related, or if it’s a manifestation of the original problem.

For context, the water mitigation team that came out when the initial damage occurred 4 months ago was unable to locate the source—it was the roofer who repaired the flashing who said that was the issue. Because the issue did not reappear post the seal of the chimney flashing I assumed he was right.

Any contractor recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
