Identifying Issues
Historically it had been difficult to identify the nature of chimney flue issues. Older chimneys that were constructed before 1965 were built using a standard brick construction and were usually lined with render on the inside which over the years has eroded due to the acidic nature of what was being burnt. Erosion and wear and tear naturally lead to additional issues such as:
- A poor chimney draw
- Dangerous smoke leakage into the living space
- A reduction in a chimney’s useable life
- Collapsing of the mid feathers that divide the individual flues
- Chimney Blockages
