Chimneys on older houses are typically masonry type chimneys. Due to their nature, time and weather can corrode and damage a masonry chimney. If you notice your chimney leaning precariously one way or the other or notice that the mortar looks flakey or that bricks look displaced, it’s time to get a mason in to check out the situation and repair your chimney masonry.
