I ‘m getting water inside my chimney during hard rains. Where’s it coming from and how can I stop it?
A question with many answers…start at the top…inspect the chimney crown for cracks, look for cracks and separation in the roof flashings, inspect for severely cracked mortar joints, and lastly, but most likely, pour some water directly on the brick and notice how quickly it’s absorbed. There may be several factors at play and a certified chimney sweep could help you figure it out.
