I can’t prove it, but I assumed the fires got too hot too fast, and the flue liner tiles didn’t have a chance to slowly heat up. I asked the homeowner about this and he said he would get fires going as fast as possible.
The cracks must have been caused by hot fires. I assumed the foundations under the chimneys were in good shape and had never moved, causing stress on the flue liner. I couldn’t see any evidence of house settlement and all the masonry in the house looked good.
But there were many cracked flue liner tiles! I could see that fresh mortar was used to connect them. I decided to slow down my demolition efforts to carefully look at how the clay flue liner tiles were installed. I could see soot and scorch marks where hot flue gases had worked their way through tiny cracks in the mortar surrounding some of the concrete block. I was astounded by what I saw as I removed the drywall that was screwed to the wood furring strips that were nailed to the 4-inch solid concrete block that made the chimney. The original chimney was installed per the minimum code requirement in place in the 1980s. About 20 years ago, I was tasked with moving a wood-burning fireplace from one place inside a home to another. These numbers should put your head on a swivel. These fires cause a lot of property damage, and even injury and death. That equates to at least 40 fires per day during burning season. can be traced to fireplaces, chimneys and wood-burning stoves. It turns out that more than 10,000 residential fires each year in the U.S. The data both agencies offered is from a few years ago, but it reflects what I believe is a significant, ongoing risk. I got curious about how many residential fires are caused by fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, so I consulted the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Fire Protection Agency for some data. Whether used for heating or for ambiance, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves are great amenities, but they also carry risk for the homeowner if they are not properly installed.
Both are see-through, so four rooms in my house get the benefit of a roaring fire. I happen to have two wood-burning fireplaces in my own home. That so crazy! nice drop dude!!
