I have a chimney breast with damp. I have had the damp sorted but it has come back. I’m pretty sure the chimney is leaking because I can hear rain coming in when upstairs at the top of the stack. We have two chimneys and can’t hear anything from the other one. Who would I ring a roofer? a builder? Damp proofing guys?

There is about half of one block and bits of others blown out on one corner of the chimney. The damage is above the roof line about 2 feet down from the top. The chimney jutts out from the home and is visible all the way to the ground. It was built around 1955, in the South(no freezing weather/lots of humidity)

I want to tear down an unused brick chimney behind the hall wall so that I can add a return air vent. The chimney has already been torn down below the roof line. I am going to remove the drywall and get started. What tools will I need and what precautions should I take. My main concern using a sledge hammer is knocking too many bricks down at one time, causing them to crash through the living room drywall.

Chimney

I have a wood-burning fireplace, and most of the time the smoke does what its supposed to do and heads right up the chimney. But how do I reverse the draft when I light a fire and all the smoke comes pouring out into the living room? I rent a townhouse and I’m not going to invest any money in a place I don’t own, so one of those chimney cap things isn’t really an option. Thanks for any help you can give me!
