Why is it important to get your furnace flue swept and inspected yearly?
The first photo shows a mortar joint, and some of it has fallen out. A mortar joint is the cement that is in between each terracotta flue tile. When the mortar falls out it allows by products to escape to areas it shouldn't, causing potential dangers to your health.
The second photo shows a crack in the terracotta flue tile. This could have the same effects of the missing mortar joint but overtime if the terracotta flue tile falls apart and gravity take its course it, could end up blocking the venting of your heating system. This allows your system to back up into your home.
The fix for these issues is to install a stainless steel liner... Which we did! Customer's chimney is now venting properly and no potential dangers to our customer!
