Chimneys serve to vent combustion by-products from fireplaces or appliances. Since this goes on behind the scene, problems that arise within your chimney often go undetected until they reach crisis proportion.
Chimney brickwork or lining may become damaged from chimney fires, lightning strikes, or just the natural settling of your home. Clay tiles, used to line some chimneys, may break or crack over time allowing heat and fumes to transfer or escape into the home. Over years of use, bricks or linings of chimneys may also be damaged from condensation.
Condensation of wood smoke can cause creosote and chimney fires. If your chimney expels exhaust from gas appliances, condensation of this will leave caustic acids which will eat bricks and mortar.
