I was sent these pictures earlier and told that my chimney needed to be torn down to the base and rebuilt. Is there any way to sufficiently repair or does this actually need to come down? Level 2 inspection we got 18 months ago did not mention any issues.
Title pretty much explains it all. I am scheduled to get my roof replaced and the company came out to do some sealing and pointing work on the chimney ahead of time. After doing that they are saying it needs to be torn down and rebuilt due to movement.
In the video it’s clearly moving so they’re not lying. Where my skepticism comes in is I spoke with the mason they recommended and he mentioned these things come up all the time and his fees can just be financed by the roofing company. Obviously could be above board but with an arrangement that convenient I did want to get opinions on if this is really that severe.
