New house. Huge rainstorm over weekend. Now I have one half of one side of chmney that is moist all the way up to the top. Darn near a straight line. Flue is totally dry inside, as are all inside walls. The builder has said this is nothing. I don't buy it. I am thinking that I must have a chimney crown separation and water has been introduced between the flue and the brick veneer. Has anyone ever seen anything like this, what is it, and what should be done about it. Thanks in advance. Please respond to my email at usna1974@cox.net.

I sent two messages with the same title because I thought the system had frozen. My first post on the subject sent at 1206 EDT today has two pictures attached. Same subject (Chimney Leak?)

Right. Thanks Jerry. Haven't formed an opinion on your chimney yet, if I think of something helpful I'll get back at ya. Brian
