When Do You Need Chimney Repair?
A damaged chimney doesn’t just affect your fireplace—it can pose serious risks to your home. Water leaks, loose bricks, cracks in the flue, and leaning structures can lead to fire hazards, carbon monoxide exposure, and long-term damage.
Here are common signs your chimney needs repair:
Crumbling or missing bricks (spalling)
Water stains around the chimney or ceiling
White staining (efflorescence) on exterior brick
Smoke escaping into your home
Strong odors from the fireplace
Rust on fireplace components
Chimney leaning or shifting
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s best to get a professional inspection and repair right away.
