Harmful or deteriorated flue liners of masonry chimneys can become soft, cracked or otherwise non-functioning – such that it/they no longer have the ability to control & contain the scary by-products of combustion.

Each year there are thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisonings due to imperfectly lined chimneys. A plethora of masonry chimney materials (except for authentic stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. Water in the chimney also begins rust in steel & cast iron, weakening or destroying the metal parts. Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety and harm-prevention part. Defective mortar joints or the use of faulty mortar or brick can greatly increase the tendency to absorb and pass water to the interior of the masonry chimney. Caps & dampers keep out the weather, all animals and most debris – all while keeping sparks from leaving the chimney which may ignite nearby combustibles like your roofing shingles, siding or nearby trees.
