Water infiltration through your chimney can be dramatic. Even though this common maintenance problem cannot generally be seen.
Masonry absorbs moisture, and because a chimney top is generally a flat surface, not protecting it and providing maintenance when needed can result in major damage to the chimney and potentially the interior of your home.
Cracks in the chimney crown can and will result in water infiltration to the chimney which will slowly Brick brick the masonry from the inside out.
Because there is little air circulation in the chimney and no sunlight, the chimney stays wet long after the rain stops. This moisture erodes the mortar and brick. Add to this a freeze/thaw cycle and you have the needed ingredients for a deteriorating chimney.
