Common Signs of Chimney Leaks:

• Dampness or discoloration around the chimney
• Water-damaged ceilings or walls near the chimney
• Musty or moldy smells from the fireplace
• Dripping sounds from inside the chimney

Potential Causes of Chimney Leaks

You might wonder, “What’s causing all this trouble?” Several factors could be responsible:

• Faulty Flashing: Flashing is the metal that seals the gap between the chimney and the roof. Water likes to find any holes here. Damaged or poorly installed flashing can let water in, causing those pesky leaks.
• Cracked Chimney Crown: The chimney crown is the first defense against rainwater. Cracks can let water seep into your chimney, eventually making its way into your home.
• Damaged Masonry: Bricks and mortar are strong, but they can give in to weather. Freeze-thaw cycles, common in Colorado Springs, can crack and weaken masonry, letting water in.
• Missing or Damaged Cap: A cap acts like a roof for your chimney. Without it, rainwater can fall directly into the flue. Plus, it stops animals from making a home in your chimney!
