What Water Does to Chimneys
Incoming water can lead to many problems. Here are four of the most common:
1. Ongoing deterioration of masonry, possibly resulting in a leaning or collapsed chimney. 2. Rotting in roofs, attics, walls and ceilings that requires costly repair work. 3. Damage to the chimney liner that safeguards your home from smoke, flames and deadly carbon monoxide. 4. Mold outbreaks that spread away from the chimney and through the house.
After a thorough inspection, the ChimneySweeps IncPro crew will determine the best and most cost-efficient way to solve your chimney leak. Here are some strategies we use.
