  • Is your roof leaking? It could be your chimney that's the issue! Gas appliances output a lot of water vapor and if it's not venting properly, it will condense inside and leak into your home. Protect your home by scheduling a chimney inspection today rooftopchimney...

    I had a leak in my chimney, went up to scope out the problem based on this very good video, found cracks in the crown. When I tried to fix the cracks, I lost my balance and fell off my roof and died!

    The chimney that you show us had no lip below the crown thus water can roll down the chimney masonry instead of dripping passed the masonry making it impossible to penetrate masonary.

    I couldn't figure out where my roof was leaking after numerous rain storms. Finally i took out a loan and bought 136 five gallon buckets of roof tar. I covered the whole roof and the whole chimney and all the bricks of my home including all the windows. Its really dark in here but no leaks!

    We have a lot of snow and usually fine when I light the fireplace but today water is showing at the bottom, inside.
    The fire 🔥 is still cracking and roaring.
    It’s been and epic year for ice dams and icicles!!! I have roof shoveled but needs to be done again. The sun is shines today... anyway after winter ❄️ I’ll check out all these areas.

    As a contractor myself, most homeowner's won't be on the roof, ever. Fix the leaks and the home owners are happy. In your video, that chimney should have a drip edge. Otherwise water dripping down the brick & mortar will cause more leaks.

    A chimney cap should cover the entire top of the chimney to shed water away. That cap is a liner cap and all the water that lands on it is dumped directly on top of the chimney. The flashing should have been replaced, not sprayed with flex seal and the termination of that liner is a joke.

    My chimney cover is flat and I think contributing to a leak into the fireplace. I am going to add some Bergstrom seal to the interface between cap and flute. Is there anyway to add a”crown” to a flat metal cap?

    I bought a 12x8x24 clay flue liner that I want to install for a pizza oven that I am building out of perlite/ Portland cement. The flue is heavy. I was thinking of putting the flue inside the hole I made and securing it with refractory mortar mix. Do you think that once it dries, it’ll hold? Any advice would help!

    Furthermore, the crown should contain smooth pebbles in its mortar, not just sand and cement....pebbles improve water impact resistance extending service lifetime
