After 3-days of hard rain I noticed my all brick chimney was leaking.
Today I went to check it out and some bricks are damaged and the crown is lifting from the chimney. Looks like it was caulked at one point.
I will attach some pictures for reference.
I had a mason come out and take a look and he quoted me $6,500. I about threw up. I don't plan to stay in this house for more than 2-5 years and don't really have that much cash sitting around for a chimney. Any suggestions on what to do without having to have it rebuilt from the roof line up?
