There were also 162 additional deaths attributed to non-fire carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not become a part of these statistics.
Chimney Problems can cause property damage
It happened thousands of times last year - chimney defects resulted in home fires.
It doesn't take much to start a home fire...a spark flitting through a crack in the chimney wall into the attic...a chimney ember igniting a creosote fire which then climbs the full height of the chimney "looking" for a breech in the chimney wall...or simply excessive heat reflected through chimney walls when a clay liner is missing or damaged.
With continued use of this chimney, any of these conditions could lead to loss of property or life.
Fortunately, the problems of a deteriorating chimney can be corrected without completely rebuilding your chimney.
The ideal size for a stainless liner is the same diameter as the exhaust collar on the appliance. If the liner is too small, it may not allow the exhaust volume necessary for efficient operation. If it is too big, it may draft too slowly at startup, and develop too much updraft when it finally heats up.
A chimney can be a fire waiting to happen. Hidden by the brick exterior, most chimneys contain a clay or terracotta liner that makes up the innermost membrane of the chimney and helps contain smoke, carbon monoxide, and burning embers produced by the home's fireplace or furnace. Some chimneys have no liner at all, just an aging brick shell.
Over time, the clay liner and brick can deteriorate, leaving the home vulnerable to carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. Harmful creosote, a flammable byproduct of burning wood, can build up on the inside of the chimney or liner and create the potential for chimney fires. Rebuilding the entire chimney liner is a one way to ensure a safer home, but it's also the costliest, and requires extensive demolition to the existing brick. Chimney relining systems are a less costly and less invasive solution.
