Do you have water leaking in your chimney? Does your chimney look like the one in the photo? Water is one of the fireplace’s worst enemies because most chimneys are made from brick which is a porous material held together with mortar which is water soluble.
Water Entering from the Top
A chimney without a cover allows a lot of rain to fall into the chimney, as well as animals and debris. A chimney cover is essential to block debris and water from entering the chimney
Cracked Chimney Crown
Chimney crowns eventually begin to crack from shifts in the structure, and water can flow right through these cracks. Even small cracks should be repaired quickly before they worsen, as freezing and thawing water will force small cracks to become larger.
Leaking Bricks
In some cases, the bricks themselves may be leaking as they are porous. Waterproofing a chimney can be a solution, but it must be done properly to avoid trapping water and causing more damage.
Chase Cover Leakage
Chase covers may eventually buckle over time and hold pooling water. Advanced Chimney Cleaning can replace your chase cover with a new custom sheet metal chase cover design to fit your specific application.
