Signs of Chimney Damage 

A robust chimney is a cornerstone of home safety and comfort. But like any structure exposed to the elements, chimneys require attention and care. Ignoring developing problems can lead to costly repairs and even pose safety risks. Chimneys in this area of Florida most commonly are constructed with wood frame or block. Typically, they include a painted stucco finish. There are also frame and block chimneys that include a decorative brick or stone finish.  Based on the hundreds of chimney repairs we have done, 80% of the roof leaks were coming from the chimney structure. 

That’s why, if you notice the following, please give us a call: 

• Cracked masonry: Think of cracks in a chimney like cracks in a foundation. Whether in the crown, brickwork, or mortar, they invite trouble by allowing water to seep in and wreak havoc.
• Flaking bricks or stones: When the exterior of a chimney starts to flake or crumble (a process called spalling), it's a clear indication of weathering and moisture damage. These materials are literally giving way.
• Deteriorating mortar: The mortar that holds chimney bricks together is crucial. When it cracks, crumbles, or disappears, the structural integrity of the chimney is compromised.
• Water stains or leaks: Water where it doesn't belong is always a bad sign. Interior water stains near the chimney or water dripping from the chimney itself suggest leaks that need immediate attention.
• Mysterious white powder: That white, powdery substance seen on the chimney's exterior (efflorescence) isn't just dust. It's a telltale sign of moisture problems and potential structural issues brewing within.
• Flue liner issues: The flue liner is your chimney's internal protection. If it's cracked or damaged, dangerous gases can escape into a home. This is a serious safety concern.
• A leaning chimney: A chimney that's leaning or swaying is a major red flag. This indicates significant structural damage and requires immediate professional attention.

Don't wait for a small problem to become a major headache. Regular chimney inspections are the best way to catch these issues early and keep your chimney in top condition. We're here to help. If any of these signs are spotted, give us a call.
