Older Houses Around the Courthouse Square

Huntsville is the Walker County seat, and the streets around the courthouse square hold some of the town's older houses. Sam Houston lived in Huntsville in his later years, and the town's history shows in its older neighborhoods. Older houses tend to have steeper roofs, chimneys, dormers and front porches, and each of those is a place where the roof is interrupted and needs flashing. Some have had a newer roof laid over an older one along the way. What you see on an older house here is often a stain beside a chimney, water at the top of a porch wall, or a leak that's hard to pin down. What it usually means is flashing that's failed or been patched with sealant, or water traveling between layers.

If your house has a brick chimney that's no longer in use, ask whether the flashing around it is still doing its job. Unused chimneys often get forgotten until they leak.
