brick-chimneyAs you can see the there are many elements that may cause a brick chimney to leak. Let us take a look.

1. The chimney cap that is on top of the brick has the potential to become rusted and allow water to enter your home.
2. The brick itself (mortar) may become brittle and porous. As a result, a Chimney Leak.

3. The Flashing (metal) may break loose from the brick line or become rusted underneath the shingle line.

Chimneys constructed out of stucco share the same elements and characteristics of  a brick chimney. However, A stucco chimney leak is more difficult to repair for the Flashing (metal) is underneath and embedded into the concrete.

A Chimney that is constructed from wood siding also has a chimney cap, flashing, and shingles. The siding on the chimney usually becomes rotten and as a result you have a leaking chimney.
