Our team installed a chimney cricket to help divert water around the chimney and keep it moving off the roof. Rather than allowing water to collect behind the chimney, the cricket creates a sloped path that directs it toward the sides.
The goal is to keep water moving so it isn’t sitting behind the chimney, where it could contribute to leaks and water damage.
It’s a small roofing detail that serves an important purpose!
