Chimneys perform several critical functions & their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction & performance requirements. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions & displaced masonry products all present a threat to buildings.

The complication is that a lot of masonry chimneys were not designed to handle the venting requirements of modern high-efficiency heating appliances burning natural gas & oil.
