Here are the reasons for a leaky chimney we encounter most often.<\/p>\n<h3>No Chimney Cap\/Damaged Chimney Cap<\/h3>\n<p>Fortunately, this is an easy one to fix. A chimney cap acts as a top shield over the opening of your flue to keep out water from rain and melting snow. If there is no cap, water has an open path to seep into the internal chimney structure, where it will begin to cause damage to bricks and mortar. If you don\u2019t have a chimney cap, we can install one for you. If your chimney cap is damaged, in many cases we can repair it.<\/p>\n<h3>Damaged or Missing Flashing<\/h3>\n<p>Chimney flashing material creates a seal over the gap where the chimney meets the roof. When flashing becomes warped or decomposed because of rust, it allows rainwater and melting snow into the attic and other parts of the home. This can lead to building material damage, mold growth and a gradual eroding of bricks and mortar. Our chimney specialists can repair or replace flashing to prevent these problems.<\/p>\n<h3>Wrong-sized Chimney Liner\/No Chimney Liner<\/h3>\n<p>Chimney liners can be made of stainless steel, clay tiles or cast-in-place mortar. Their purpose is to protect the chimney\u2019s interior masonry from the intense heat and moisture that happens when fires burn. An incorrectly sized liner will not offer the required protection. If there\u2019s no liner at all, your chimney is at great risk of damage and possibly a chimney fire. We\u2019ll inspect your chimney liner and either repair it or, if it\u2019s the wrong size, recommend a replacement. We install new chimney liners in all types of chimneys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-118548-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-118548-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-118548-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Masonry Damage\/Brick and Mortar Issues<\/h3>\n<p>The bricks and mortar of your chimney can become damaged by years of severe weather events, house-settling and general old age. Cracks in bricks and mortar joints are another common cause of chimney leaks. If the damage is minor, we can seal-coat the masonry to prevent further water infiltration. In other cases, we may perform tuckpointing to replace missing sections of masonry. If damage is severe, we can partially or completely rebuild your chimney.<\/p>\n<h3>Cracks in the Chimney Crown<\/h3>\n<p>The cement chimney crown that covers most of the top of the chimney is a solid safeguard against water getting into the bricks and into the flue. Crowns may begin showing small cracks after years of use. When this happens, water can infiltrate the cracks and freeze and expand, causing larger cracks. In some cases, our chimney technicians can apply a waterproof coating to prevent water seepage into the crown; in other cases, we may need to partially or completely rebuild the crown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-118548-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-118548-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121068 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fluesbrotherskc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DJI_0900.jpg\" alt=\"chimney tuck-pointing repair in Kansas City, KS \" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluesbrotherskc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DJI_0900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fluesbrotherskc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DJI_0900-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 600px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-118548-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-118548-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-118548-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>You don\u2019t have to live with a\u00a0leaky chimney.
