Common Chimney Issues

Structural

Structural issues like cracked or spalling masonry, a leaning chimney, or a damaged crown can weaken the chimney over time.

Water Damage

Chimneys are highly susceptible to water damage, which can lead to leaks, rusted components, and deteriorating masonry.

Draft & Ventilation

Chimneys face various issues that impact safety and performance, including structural deterioration, water damage, and ventilation problems.

Flue & Liner

A damaged or improperly sized flue liner can lead to serious safety hazards, including heat and smoke escaping into walls.

Fire & Carbon Monoxide

Chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks are major safety hazards often caused by creosote buildup, poor ventilation, or cracks in the liner.

Cap & Flashing

A missing chimney cap or faulty flashing can lead to water damage, debris buildup, and even animal infestations.
