What is a Chimney Flue?
The flue is the inner lining of your chimney that directs smoke and gases safely outside. If damaged, it can lead to inefficient heating and serious safety risks.
Common Causes of Chimney Flue Damage
-
- Cracks from Heat & Age: Over time, exposure to extreme temperatures can cause cracks in the lining.
-
- Water Damage: NYC’s humidity and rain can erode clay and metal liners.
-
- Creosote Buildup: Excess creosote can corrode the flue lining.
