While Carmel is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, winters here can be harsh, especially for chimneys. Moisture can seep inside the porous brick masonry surface and erode the mortar joints. When this happens the constant freezing and thawing rain expands causing bricks to crack and even separate from the structure. You may find pieces of brick and masonry on the ground near the chimney. Moisture leaks on the inside are not only more damaging, they are harder to spot. Sometimes a homeowner is completely unaware that chimney repairs are necessary until they notice water pooling in the firebox or smoke chamber.
Dangerous Leaky Chimneys
A leaky chimney can be especially dangerous as it can allow toxic carbon monoxide gases to leak into your living space. This odorless and colorless gas is also known as the silent killer because it is virtually undetectable. The Carmel Fire Department recommends homeowners that burn fuel for cooking and heating install a carbon monoxide (CO) detector outside each sleeping area on all floors of the home, in addition to smoke alarms. Test smoke alarms and CO detectors once a month. Batteries for safety devices should be changed when you change the clock.
Ignoring masonry repairs is not a good idea. What may start out as a simple repair could expand into a major restoration project. Chimney repairs do not resolve themselves and will continue to deteriorate. The deterioration can accelerate due to weather and environmental conditions. Left unrepaired your chimney may start to lean and eventually collapse.
