    Roof chimney base and flue repair

    Maybe i can cut it with my dremel and get it down to where it is all good if the inner pipe is good and allows? If not and i can manage to replace the cap, should a little roof patch around the edges be enough to seal up the edges? The impact definitely dislodged the chase from the shingles...

    Hello, We have a old chimeny built in 1980s. The exterior base seems to be retaining water throughout the year. Freezing in the winter and cracking in warmer weather. I have attached pictures. We are wondering if it would be cheaper and easier to just demolish it all and just repair the...
