Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Water Can Seep Into Your Chimney

There are several ways that water can seep into a chimney. The first one is the water going straight inside the chimney when it is raining and there is no chimney cap to protect it. We know that a chimney cap is not necessary but it is a must if you don't want water to seep into the chimney. Water causes damage to the bricks and mortar and it will eventually deteriorate the structure itself.

The second way is through a broken chimney flashing. This should always be in perfect condition because its function is to prevent water from entering in the gap between the brick and the roof. The third way is through a cracked chimney crown. Even if the crown is sloping from the center down to the sides, if it is cracked, then the water will leak from the crack going into the flue and other parts or structures of the chimney.

Another way that water can seep into a chimney is if there are cracks in the mortar joints and bricks. Even if they are thick, water is a liquid so it can easily enter even a small hole in the chimney. It is very important to maintain the health of a chimney through regular inspection and making repairs if necessary. If you will ignore it, the water will go into the chimney and will eventually crack and deteriorate your flue, creating a fire hazard.

These are the most common reasons why water can seep into the chimney. In order to protect the look, feel and most importantly the functionality of the chimney, you should pay attention to all these reasons. If you are not good at maintaining the chimney or you don't have time to inspect things, then you should appoint a qualified chimney sweep to accomplish this task.

A professional chimney sweep will inspect the chimney and its overall condition each year and can take necessary steps to prevent any damage that can happen with the whole structure. Seeping water into the chimney can cause some serious damage if you ignore the problem for a long time. The most important thing is that you will create a fire hazard which could have been avoided.
