What it is, and why it matters.
The firebox and flue are where the heat and the smoke are. Cracked firebrick, missing mortar, a failed liner or a rusted damper can let heat reach the wood framing or carbon monoxide into the house. These are hidden problems, which is why they deserve a proper look.
Around Nashville we inspect, repair firebox joints with refractory mortar, replace damaged firebrick, parge rough smoke chambers and install new liners. We tell you plainly when the chimney should not be used until repaired.

Firebox & Flue Liner Repair: common questions
Is a cracked firebox dangerous?
It can be. Cracks in the firebox or flue let heat and gases reach areas never meant to see them. Do not use a fireplace you suspect is damaged until it is checked.
When does a flue need a liner?
When the existing tile is cracked, missing or wrong for the fuel, when converting to a different fuel or when a chimney was never lined. A new liner is often the safest fix.
