I had a new roof put on my rancher in December, but after a heavy rain I occasionally see a small pool of water in my basement next to the chimney. It's nothing that a paper towel or two can't sop up, but I'm still concerned that the leak might cause wood rot on the way down...if it hasn't done so already. I bought the house last September and noticed bigger pools of water before I had the roof done, so at least it appears the new roof helped somewhat in this area. The roofers came out before to fix it, but it looks like it's still happening. (it looks like it's trickling down the OTHER side of the chimney now, so they might have only fixed one side)
Anyone have any suggestions what it might be, or how to fix it? Is this something I'd be better calling a chimney repair guy on?
