How Do I Repair a Crack in a Magic Chimney?

A Magic chimney is a chimney made by Black Magic Chimney & Fireplace. As with any chimney, cracks in a Magic chimney can be dangerous; if left untreated they can grow, eventually rendering the chimney unsafe. Water can enter your chimney cracks and cause the cracks to expand; which can lead to structural damage. With a simple do-it-yourself fix, you can save yourself a more costly repair of the chimney.
