WHAT CAUSES CHIMNEY WATER LEAKS?
- Damaged or Missing Chimney Flashing: Flashing is the metal that seals the gap between the chimney and the roof. If it's rusted, loose, or improperly installed, water can easily seep in at the roofline.
- Cracked Chimney Crown: The crown is the concrete or mortar top that seals the chimney. Cracks can allow rainwater to pool and eventually leak down into the flue or masonry.
- Worn or Missing Chimney Cap: A chimney cap sits on top and prevents rain, snow, debris, and animals from entering. Without one, or with one that’s broken, moisture can pour directly into the chimney flue.
- Deteriorated Mortar Joints or Masonry: Over time, bricks and mortar can crack or crumble due to freeze-thaw cycles. These gaps let water seep into the structure and cause internal leaks.
- Condensation or Improper Flue Lining: In some cases, moisture from inside the home or the exhaust system condenses in the chimney if it’s not properly lined, insulated, or vented.
- Leaky Roof or Gutters Nearby: Water from nearby roofing or clogged gutters can back up and drain toward the chimney, especially if flashing or sealing is compromised.
- Absorptive Brick or Stone: Some types of brick or stone are more porous and will absorb water if not treated with a waterproof sealant, leading to slow leaks over time.
