Looking up at the top of your chimney do you see missing bricks? Do you see daylight where the mortar joints used to be? If your chimney is in disrepair you need to have it fixed or continued weathering and freeze thaw cycles will tear your chimney to pieces. Now your chimney is a liability instead of an asset.  Repoint of bad mortar joints, repouring the crown, water repellent treatment or a complete rebuild may all be necessary to stop the cycle of chimney deterioration.
