Chimneys cushion the place atop the chimney from water aggressing where the roof joins the chimney. Your chimney is one of the most overlooked areas in the sustainment of a property ability to remain dry and keep your home’s inhabitants safe.

When roof or chimneys become leaky, it loses its resistance to water penetration and leaks cause a host of other damage. The chimney caulking used to keep your chimney in place can slowly erode, making your roof sensitive to leaks. If water gets past the chimney cap, there is nothing left to halt it from damaging your structure’s walls and ceilings.

Most of the time this will be fixed by cutting out the old alarming metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the problematic pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water could pass the chimney cap.
