Hi!

Anybody that can help me out and answer my question. I have rain water coming inside my chimney pipe when we have heavy rain and windy outside I will said like 5 drops of rain, can that be possible? and can water goes inside those holes that the spark arrestor has that makes the water go down to the chimney metal floor.

I attached some of the pictures.

Thanks,
