I first became involved with real estate in 1981 when my wife gave me a choice of ballroom dance or real estate classes. I chose real estate, and began buying properties as rental investments.

Chimney Problems and Solutions: Chimney Cap, Crumbling Chimney, Chimney Leaks…Rebuilding Chimneys, Chimney Repair, Tuck-pointing, Waterproofing


It is important that your chimney be in proper working order. It main function is to carry hot toxins, gasses and carbon monoxide from your home to the outdoors. If there is a problem with the chimney venting system, it can be a major fire hazard or a health issue if gasses and toxins are not exhausted to the outdoors.


A missing chimney cap:


Allows rain and snow to enter, leading to moisture build-up, causing damages, health issues and the need for extensive repairs


Allows birds and small animals to take refuge and build a nest in a nice warm area, causing a fire hazard by providing fuel for sparks to ignite


Creates a fire hazard as hot embers and sparks escape into trees or fall to the roof or your yard


A crumbling chimney or leaking chimney:

Can fall over and hurt someone

Allow poor exhaust flow and cause a fire

Allow gases to escape into the house

Moisture buildup and mold damages; health hazards

Damages increase over time due to being exposed to all weather elements


The solution is to have your chimney inspected by a specialist, who understands how important it is to have a good quality chimney liner that is strong and durable. Have the chimney waterproofed with a breathable chimney waterproofing substance sprayed on the exterior of the chimney to prevent moisture damage. This will add to the safety value of your home and saves money in energy costs.
