Where city roofs leak
- Brick chimneys, many no longer in use, lose their caps, crowns and mortar; water then comes down inside the chimney or past its flashing.
- Parapet walls around flat roofs crack at the coping, and water gets behind the membrane flashing.
- Internal box gutters built into the eave rot and leak into the wall or the room below, which looks like a roof leak but is not.
What we repair in the city
City of St. Louis questions
- Do contractors need a city license?
- Yes. The City of St. Louis requires contractors working in the city to hold a Construction Industry Contractor Graduated Business License.
- Should an unused chimney be removed?
- Sometimes. If it is sound we repair the crown and flashing; if it is failing above the roof, we can take it down below the roof line and close the deck.
- Do you pull the permits?
- Yes. We pull the permit on every job that requires one. Which office issues it depends on the city or county, and the service-area pages show it wherever we have the official answer.
