Water near the chimney is often open flashing or a cracked crown, not a whole roof that has failed.
Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?
A leak at the chimney flashing can be a repair. Curled shingles and leaks in more than one room point to replacement.
How Often Should You Schedule a Chimney Sweep?
Most homes that burn wood need a chimney inspection every year and a sweep when creosote builds up in the flue.
