Can rain water come down one chimney pot and down the other?

Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 3.32 PM

I live in a 1900s terraced house. The chimney breast has been removed in the dining room and it's been leaking for a few years. Had all sorts of work done to the chimney including capping off the old chimney pot but still leaking. No signs of damp in the room above where the chimney breast has not been removed. I have a wood burner in the living room to the right. Could rain water be coming down through the chimney pot on the right and get down the dissused chimney breast? Are they shared or completely different flues? Considering getting a different chimney cowl on the working chimney pot. Thanks.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Yes they are entirally separate flues but the brickwork is all joined so therefore it a be tracking in through any of the existing brickwork.
