Following is the most common chimney problems Nashville residents could face:

• Obstruction or blockage of a chimney can be the cause of numerous things. It is very dangerous as it can cause toxic fumes like carbon monoxide to enter the home.
• Creosote is a fine carbon powder mixture consisting of black tar and dirt. It is deposited in the chimney flue lining whenever wood is burned, and is highly flammable.
• When damaged mortar on a chimney’s brickwork isn’t frequently maintained, water can penetrate and it could lead to a chimney that leans, crumbles, and could completely collapse.
• On top of the chimney will either be a crown and/ or a cap. Both would need to be regularly maintained to keep moisture from penetrating and causing damage.
• The chimney lining can deteriorate if moisture combines with the creosote which can lead to it cracking. When this happens, it would need to be replaced before the fireplace is used again, since the lining is what protects the combustible parts of the home from catching fire.
