Many chimneys appear to be in great condition from the outside...

Now look at the problems on the inside.

In flue marked "A", servicing a fireplace or woodstove, you can see:

• Cracked or missing liner

• Eroded brick and mortar

• Excessive or glazed creosote

In flue marked "B", servicing the furnace side of the chimney, you can see:

• Flaked plaster, peeling wallpaper

• Eroded or missing clay liner

• Excessive moisture in gas flues

• Excessive soot in oil flues

It doesn't take much to start a house fire.

Just as easy a one spark flitting through a crack in flue marked "A" or an ember igniting a chimney fire which climbs the chimney searching for an escape route - that can cause a house fire.

On the furnace side for flue marked "B", tile deterioration can allow deadly flue gases to escape into your home through tiny cracks. A damaged or missing flue can also cause condensation problems or heat transfer through your masonry chimney walls.

Fortunately, all of these problems can usually be corrected with a chimney liner and without completely rebuilding the chimney.
