Hoping someone can help give some ideas as to what is going on with my chimney.
Had the flashing redone about 2 years ago as there was a leak, had no problems until December. Now getting damp to the point the ceiling is almost dripping around where the chimney joins the roof. I have been on the roof and checked the flashing, it seems ok. The rendering is coming off of the stack so it will probably need redoing at some point. I put some sealant over the stack, which has done nothing.
Attached are some photos of the flashing and roof along with the dampness. I scraped off some of the paint to see where the plaster was damp underneath and to let it breath a bit (the photo of the hole in the ceiling is from a couple of years ago when we had the leak).
Any advice or help would be appreciated.
