anywhere that debris and water can build up on the roof is a problem in the long run.

So it is possible to add one after the fact? Asking because I would really like to know.

One thing I've found is often done wrong is that the cricket does not extend 2" past the chimney on either side, creating a leak at the corners.

see you don't have to worry about that slow deterioration if the snow load pushes the chimney right off the house first
