How to Repair a Damaged Chimney?

A damaged chimney can be dangerous, leading to a potential house fire. Never use a damaged chimney, as heat can cause existing cracks to grow in size. When repairing a damaged chimney, locate the area that has cracked. Using heat-proof mortar, create a seal over the crack. Make sure to create a wide swath of mortar over a damaged crack, to ensure a solid seal. Most heat-proof mortar requires time to cure. Make a small fire in the stove or fireplace attached to a chimney. Make sure that the fire is kept alive for at least 8 hours, to ensure the mortar sets.
