Look for a missing cap, open joints, or a cracked wash.

02Flue and liner

Check for buildup, gaps, staining, or damaged liner sections.

03Firebox and damper

Review brick joints, damper travel, and smoke-shelf debris.

04Flashing and masonry

Trace water staining back to roofline details and mortar.
