Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Cracking in chimney liner – causes and how to detect them
A crack in the chimney liner may be due to several reasons. This crack may be due to improper construction of the chimney, creating a gap between the flue line and chimney sides. The expanding flue may cause the brick to crack. Another common reason is leakage of water at the top of the chimney. The water then seeps through the chimney pipes and causes the chimney to crack in the frozen climate as the water freezes to ice. Gravity leaning down on the chimney or thermal expansion due to improper installation may even cause the chimney to crack. Chimney may also crack due to a mechanical damage or from natural calamities like earthquakes.

Proper inspection and maintenance are the only keys to detecting the chimney cracks. Initially, you may not notice but sipping of water through the slides of the chimney resulting in creosote stains carried to the chimney surface will make you notice the cracks. The cracked flue liner of the chimney isn't the unusual problem. That is what your home inspector found. Many masonry fireplaces actually are built with the clay liners. With time, the intense heat, general wear & tear and weather conditions will result in the cracked liner. This is placed down the whole length of flue, and sealing old liner. It is the job that needs to be done by the professional in some hours. However, how you can know suppose you want one of the inserts? Here are a few tips:
  • Check out flue liner for any cracks on every fall before heating season starts. Use flashlight and safety glasses and see far up on flue.
  • Hire the professional chimney sweep for completing check for the cracks in places, which are tough to see.
  • Do not use fireplace with the cracked liner. Have liner replaced as early as possible.
All these defects, doesn't matter how small, will begin the process that can further erode chimney and will pose the threat to family's health. When moisture, heat, or gases escape through the gaps or cracks in the chimney, they will deteriorate the chimney from inside out. Very importantly, cracks and gaps will cause some health risks, just by allowing the poisonous gases to escape in the home. Combustible creosote and soot will escape through such openings or build up outside flue liner.

Total Loss of Efficiency

The chimneys, to work efficiently and rightly, should be gas tight as well as free from cracks and gaps. The gases going up through the chimney are very much similar to the liquid getting sipped through the straw. Suppose straw has crack and hole then liquid won't flow effectually through this. The cracks and gaps allow the excess air in the chimney, slow updraft as well as make this harder for gases and smoke to rise up & out. Thus, fireplace, furnace or woodstove can perform very poorly, and resulting in loss of the heat efficiency.
