Masonry chimney fireplace issue repaired
/in Chimney RepairThe purpose of your chimney is to properly vent the products of combustion (smoke) form your home. However, if the integrity of a chimney is compromised, say from a crack, this can be an issue.
If smoke and combustion materials are not vented away from your home they can build up in said cracks, thus causing fire hazards.
Cracks are one of the most common masonry chimney issues!

40 Year old home with 3 cracked chimney flues
/in Chimney Cracks, Chimney Flue, Chimney RepairThis is a video of a home in San Juan Capistrano that is approximately 40 years old. All 3 chimneys had severe cracks and gaps in the chimney flue. This is a severe fire hazard if the fireplaces are used to burn wood or gas fires. If you are purchasing a home that was built over 20 years ago, don’t take a chance that the chimney will not have gaps.
Approximately 40% of the homes that were built in the 1980s and earlier have cracks and gaps within the chimney flues. Regular home inspectors do not inspect the chimneys with a video camera and as a result most of the cracks are not detected. Approximately 15,000 homes per year in the U.S. have home fires which start in the fireplace/chimney.
