Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How a professional chimney sweep fixes water damage caused by cracks in a chimney
The chimney could develop cracks in the course of its life atop your dwelling. Cracks could be attributed to several factors like material used in construction and even the weather. Although small and minute, hairline cracks allow water to seep through them. Immediate repair of the chimney and the cracks is warranted. Tools like a ladder and a hammer-drill would come in handy.

Cracks in chimney bricks are sealed in with water-repellants like silane-siloxaneto. The trick in the repellent is that it makes the water evaporate into water-vapor, so water cannot pass through the crack. Some plants tend to grow in cracks and crevices. They should be killed using an herbicide. Pulling them out manually might damage the mortar they have dug their roots into.

Water, once it has entered your household, can cause extensive damage. To begin with, it would begin to flow all over the beam and other materials in the house. If left to take its own course, water would cause rotting of wooden structures in the house, while the house's frame would become weaker still.

Cracks could be detected at a late stage in the chimney by the stains that are left behind. Gases from the fireplace find a vent through the crack, and this leaves behind a stain. It would be best to get a trained professional do all this for you.

The chimney sweep can also help in case the crack leaves behind only a suspicion of a crack. He could well perform a smoke-test on the house. This would involve sealing of the chimney at the top as well as the bottom. A smoke-pellet would then be inserted into the chimney to give off an odor that would give away the crack. Identification of these cracks would help in their instant repair, and you could be sure of no carbon monoxide leaking into your house.

Flashing has an important role to play in the prevention of water seepage through chimney cracks. Water-damage could play havoc in the chimney as well as the components of the roof. The chimney cap plays an integral role in preventing damage due to water. Cracks in the chimney crown are also instrumental in water damage caused in the house.

A professional chimney sweep guards against potential water-damage by tackling the problem as soon as it emerges. On entering the brick and mortar of chimney, the water freezes and it expands in the process. Ice requires some more space than water. So, the cracks are pushed to their limits. The damage is a continuous process till the chimney is beyond repair. A professional chimney sweep would help here by nipping the problem in the bud. He would inspect the chimney for leaks and water damage and take remedial action. A professional chimney-sweep is your best friend if you are really serious about preventing water-damage in your house caused by cracks in the chimney.
