Today I inspected a chimney near Dakota Trail in Edina, Minnesota. This chimney has significant brick deterioration, and the brick is old Chicago brick. The chimney cap is also cracked. Unfortunately, I also noticed that the chimney flue cap was just a cage without a rain cover. Installing a proper rain cap is important, as it helps prevent water from entering the flue and accelerating deterioration.
