5 Signs You Need Your Chimney Repaired
- Visible Damage or Cracks: Look for loose bricks, missing mortar joints, or leaning sections on the chimney’s exterior, signaling structural issues.
- Water Leaks: Water stains, dampness, or a musty odor indicate potential leaks. Cracked crowns, damaged flashing, or deteriorating mortar joints may be the culprits.
- Damaged or Missing Chimney Cap: Check for a damaged or missing cap, as it protects against water, debris, and animals. Prompt replacement or repair is crucial.
- White Residue: White, powdery residue on the chimney exterior suggests water penetration and underlying moisture problems, requiring attention.
- Smoke Inside the Home: If smoke enters your home when using the fireplace, there’s a ventilation issue. Prompt repairs are necessary to prevent health hazards.
