Before the first fire of the season, look UP. 🔥 Your chimney is a hole in your roof with a lid on it — cap, crown, and step flashing where brick meets shingle. If any one fails, water runs down inside the brick and shows up as a ceiling stain two rooms away.
5-minute ground check: 1) CAP — present, mesh intact, sitting straight? A missing cap invites rain and raccoons. 2) CROWN — cracks in the concrete top let water in; freezing pries them wider. 3) FLASHING — rust streaks, lifted metal, or tar smeared on the joint? Tar is a confession, not a repair.
