Chimney Repairs questions
How often should a chimney be inspected?
Once a year if you use the fireplace, and before you start using one in a home you just bought.
Why is my chimney leaking?
The most common causes are cracked crowns, failed flashing, or a missing cap.
What is repointing?
Removing damaged mortar between the bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar so water cannot get in.
Do I need a new liner?
If the existing liner is cracked or you are switching fuel types, yes. A camera inspection shows its condition.
