About chimney repair
Chimneys fail from the top down. Water gets into a cracked crown, missing cap or failed flashing, freezes and breaks up mortar and brick. Inside, clay flue tiles crack from heat, age or a chimney fire.

- Missing or crumbling mortar
- Flaking or broken bricks
- Water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney
