Water entering your chimney can cause serious damage to the structure and nearby areas. Cracks, worn materials, or missing parts can allow moisture to get inside, leading to stains, odors, and weakened surfaces. If not fixed on time, leaks can spread damage to ceilings and walls.
• Water stains on walls or ceiling
• Damp smell near fireplace
• Visible cracks in bricks or joints
Flashing seals the space where the chimney meets the roof. If it becomes loose, rusted, or poorly installed, water can leak into your home and damage both the roof and chimney area. Proper sealing is important to prevent long-term issues.
