6 Ways Water Can Leak Through Your Chimney

[Anonymousaudits]

Cheers my man. I've had a leak and was worried so I got up there with the right ladders etc. You're right enough.. My flashing and bricks were letting water through. All sorted now.. Awesome video man.

I had a leak in my chimney, went up to scope out the problem based on this very good video, found cracks in the crown. When I tried to fix the cracks, I lost my balance and fell off my roof and died!

Great video, short and sweet, plenty of info to diagnose the problem(s)

I really appreciate this video. I am having chimney issues right now. know what to look for.

The chimney that you show us had no lip below the crown thus water can roll down the chimney masonry instead of dripping passed the masonry making it impossible to penetrate masonary.

Is it wise to have air brick on your chimney stack. The top is capped off, just down want water coming in from there.

great info, thank you! The music is too loud :(

[DIYProjectsByDave]

Thank you! We should check our chimney again

Thanks for video.
My chimney cover is flat and I think contributing to a leak into the fireplace. I am going to add some Bergstrom seal to the interface between cap and flute. Is there anyway to add a”crown” to a flat metal cap?

Very cool.
We have a lot of snow and usually fine when I light the fireplace but today water is showing at the bottom, inside.
The fire 🔥 is still cracking and roaring.
It’s been and epic year for ice dams and icicles!!! I have roof shoveled but needs to be done again. The sun is shines today... anyway after winter ❄️ I’ll check out all these areas.
Cool old house.

Great points thanks. Music way toooo loud. Very annoying.

I had chimney work done, new crown, cap, and stainless steel liner. The chimney is bleeding water in the attic. A squirrel nest was removed also. Any guesses?

As a contractor myself, most homeowner's won't be on the roof, ever. Fix the leaks and the home owners are happy. In your video, that chimney should have a drip edge. Otherwise water dripping down the brick & mortar will cause more leaks.

I couldn't figure out where my roof was leaking after numerous rain storms. Finally i took out a loan and bought 136 five gallon buckets of roof tar. I covered the whole roof and the whole chimney and all the bricks of my home including all the windows. Its really dark in here but no leaks!

My closet is leaking water. It is negative 16 and was below zero the last couple days. What/where is it so hot it’s melting the snow. Can you give me advice.

Voice over dubbing on this video is ridiculous...

[bobsolem]

Helpful information (but I do concur on the voice/music mix, too loud on the music).

[chiefrockerwakida]

Why didn’t my roofer tell me this when they replaced my roof. Now I’m dealing with consequences. Contractors suck.

[chubeviewer]

Sounds like it was too windy on the roof, and you had to rerecord the audio inside, haha, great video though.
