Ponessa, J., (1999), "Solving a chimney moisture problem", Home Energy, September/October, pp 40-47.
Abstract:
Describes a case study of a diagnostic problem regarding a chimney moisture problem, which proved to derive both from rainwater leakage around the chimney, due to a flashing problem, and a chimney obstruction that led to considerable condensation. Also discusses the usefulness of diagnostic tools for such a problem, including manometer, blower door, camera, chemical smoke, data logger, CO detector, static pressure probes, etc.
