Chimney Without a Liner

This chimney does not have a proper liner installed. This is common in older homes where the flue consist of a brick chimney without a terra cotta liner. In some cases older terra cotta liners have failed and require replacement as well. The failure of a chimney liner can lead to leakage of deadly gases into the living spaces and carbon monoxide poisoning. The installation of a metal liner is the recommend method of repair.
