Chimney Problems

As with any structure, your chimney can run into a few problems over time. Some things to be wary of with your chimney can range from exterior to interior damages. Areas of your chimney to pay attention to are the crown, cap, surrounding roof flashing, firebox, damper, inner liner, joints, and masonry. It’s important to know that your chimney will develop a build-up of soot or creosote with frequent use which can cause fires due to their flammability. With creosote, your chimney won’t be properly vented and you can develop carbon monoxide poisoning. Other issues may include cosmetic damages such as visible cracks in the masonry or eroding mortar. The damages that can be imparted on your chimney and surrounding roofing materials can be numerous, here are some examples as to what conditions may point to the need for chimney repair.
