  4. Check the Chimney Cap Be confident that your chimney has a chimney cap and that it is in excellent shape before you light a fire. Rain and snow won't be able to get into the chimney flue, thanks to chimney caps. They'll also deter birds and other animals, as well as leaves, from getting inside. This will keep your chimney clear of obstacles.

  5. Check the Chimney is Waterproof Seal your chimney. Your chimney has a vast opening that lets the smoke escape. You don't want to plug the hole, but rain and snow shouldn't go. Most prefabricated chimneys have rust-prone galvanized steel chase coverings. Crown masonry chimneys. It's a concrete cap that inhibits intrusion. Smoke emerges from the crown, like chasing covers.

  6. Use of Safety Alarms At the very least, install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in the same room as the fireplace or wood stove. Even hardwired alarms rely on the batteries used as a backup in the event the power goes out. One should have their batteries replaced at least once a year.

  7. Check the Motor Joints Your chimney's bricks and mortar joints are crucial in keeping water out of your house. However, as time passes, they deteriorate and allow moisture into your home through cracks and crumbles. Chimney tuck-pointing is necessary if you find that the mortar is worsening. The chimney stack should be sealed with a waterproofing sealant.
