What Are The Signs My Chimney Needs Repairs?

A leak is a very good sign of chimney failure. A chimney can leak from many different places so you may notice water stains on the ceiling next to your fireplace, or even water in the fireplace itself, but any sign of water means a problem.

Obstructions can be another reason for your chimney to fail, if you are having smoke coming back into your house, if it smells bad or if it’s not drawing very well you may have a blockage. Creosote build-up, twigs leaves, and debris can collect on the flue wall, or a bird or other animal may have built a nest in the chimney that is blocking proper airflow. Damaged chimney mortar can obstruct the flow of air in your chimney as well. Or It may have been improperly installed.

The suggested solution for this is to have a professional chimney sweep come out and clean as well as inspect your chimney.
