What are the signs of a chimney leak?
The next time you are outside, take a look at the exterior of your chimney. Be on the lookout and check for any cracked, chipped, loose, or missing bricks and mortar joints on your chimney. Not only are damaged masonry materials a sign of water penetration, but the cracks and gaps allow more water to enter your home through the chimney. You will also want to look at the top of the chimney for any white stains. This is known as efflorescence, and these stains are the result of salt rising to the surface of the masonry when water evaporates. You can also look indoors for signs of a chimney leak. You might be experiencing chimney leaks if you have any of the following: stained ceilings and walls, rusted metal chimney components, and musty odors.
