Most masonry chimneys were not designed to handel the venting
requirements of modern high efficiency heating appliances burning liquid propane, natural gas,oil, wood, pellet,or coal. These
improperly lined chimneys can cause a number of costly structual and cosmetic problems for the homeowner, and also create
potentially serious saftey hazards.
In 1996 there were 23,000 residential fires related to chimneys
and solid fuel appliances in the United States. Each year there are thousands of cases of Carbon Monoxide poisoning due to
improperly lined chimneys.
