Exterior Concrete
When you take a look at your chimney crown or your chimney cap, which is the concrete block at the top which is meant to weather all of the intense climate, you'll want to be looking for cracks.

Chimney Roof Health
One major problem that people will start having is that a chimney that is cracked or the brick is coming apart, you might start having problems with water leaking behind the flashing between the roof and the chimney. When the grout requires Tuckpointing, or the overall chimney brick is starting to come apart, water can trickle down those cracks and start getting in between the flashing, particularly if the home is older and isn't up to the higher standards that we have today.
When Water starts to leak behind flashing, you will start to have leaks in your roof and you might have water coming through. This is incredibly important to take care of because it can wreck your entire roof and cause major damage, leading to black mold, or other water problems.
