A chimney in Dearborn works from the first cold night to the last thaw, then sits damp through a humid summer. Deep freeze-thaw, lake moisture and heavy wood heat do the damage here. This is what we actually find, and what we check on every visit.
Water soaks into a Dearborn chimney crown, mortar joint or brick face, then freezes, expands, and pries the opening wider. Repeat that cycle all winter and brick faces spall, crowns split, and mortar crumbles to sand. We check the crown, joints and brick on every inspection and catch it early.
Older Dearborn chimneys were lined with clay tiles that expand and contract with every fire. A bitter-cold flue meeting a hot fire, season after season, cracks tiles and opens gaps at the joints. Those faults hide inside the chimney, which is why we diagnose liners on camera, not by guessing.
On the coldest mornings, a chimney full of cold, heavy air can push down instead of drawing up, so the first fire in a Dearborn home spills smoke into the room until the flue warms. A blocked cap, cracked liner or tightly sealed house makes it worse. We diagnose the cause in order.
An open flue in spring and summer is shelter, and raccoons, birds and squirrels nest in chimneys across Wayne County while the fireplace sits idle. A nest blocks the draft, holds moisture against the liner, and can push smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. We clear blockages and fit screened caps.

At least once a year if you burn regularly, and sooner if wood is real heat in your home - roughly every cord burned is a good guide. A long Midwest heating season lays down serious creosote, and the glazed kind is a flue-fire risk. The sweep also checks the liner, cap and damper.
Water soaks into brick, mortar and the crown, freezes, expands, and opens cracks a little wider with every cycle. Over a few Dearborn winters that spalls brick faces, splits crowns and crumbles mortar joints, and the gaps let in still more water. Caught early it is repointing and crown repair; ignored, it becomes a rebuild.
From the room, usually you cannot - cracked tiles sit inside the flue, above the firebox. Signs can include a smoke smell in upstairs rooms, bits of tile in the firebox, or a fireplace that drafts worse after years of good service. A camera inspection shows the tile condition directly and gives you a report in plain language.
It is serious, because open joints are how water gets in and heat gets out. Spalled brick and recessed mortar let freeze-thaw work deeper every winter, and gaps near the flue let hot gases reach the masonry and framing. Small joint repairs are straightforward when caught early, before the damage reaches the liner.
Meltwater is the usual cause in Dearborn: snow and ice sit on the crown, then thaw water soaks into split crowns, open mortar joints and failed flashing, showing up as stains, peeling or a damp smell indoors. We trace the entry point from the top down and repair the actual source, not just the stain.
