What is causing water to leak into my stone fireplace?

Answer by  Emr (698)

Fireplaces should have filters and caps on them to keep sparks from traveling. They also keep rain out. Check the flashing around the chimney on your roof for leaks.

In many cases it is the flashing. A sheet of metal inserted between the chimney and roof. It often times comes loose or rooten with age.

Three has to be a crack or a leak in a seal somewhere that the only way water can get into a structure that is built like that and it will be expensive to fix.

You have a crack in the area between the roof and the chimney. Water is not only leaking into your fireplace, but into your ceiling as well.

The water could be coming from a pipe that runs near the fireplace, in which case you should check the plumbing in your house. Or it comes from the chimney.
