 Chimney mortar bricks or blocks loose crackedChimney mortar bricks or blocks loose cracked. It is common to find the top rows of bricks loose enough to fall off. This condition should be repaired as soon as possible. Damaged chimneys are common in earthquake prone areas. Damage to brick and block chimneys is common in areas with very cold winters. Moisture entering the brick or block freezes thus forcing the outer layers of the masonry material to slough off (exfoliation). Possibly the application of a waterproofing material would help. Loose and damaged mortar joints will lead to the destruction of the chimney. If the condition is advanced repointing the joints may be in order . Contact a masonry contractor for assistance and additional information if necessary.
