After inspecting hundreds of homes, I can confidently say one thing…
Chimneys are probably my LEAST favorite part of a house. 😂
Not because they aren’t important but because I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a “perfect” chimney.
They take a beating year after year from rain, snow, heat, freezing temperatures, and constant expansion and contraction. Brick cracks, mortar deteriorates, flashing separates, crowns crack… the list goes on.
And the crazy part? Most chimney problems start small and go unnoticed until they turn into expensive repairs.
The best thing homeowners can do is stay ahead of the maintenance. Having the chimney professionally
The biggest enemy of a chimney is WATER. Once moisture gets in, damage usually follows.
A little maintenance now can prevent a major repair later.
