Click a part of the chimney
PART 01
Chimney cap
A chimney cap sits on top of the chimney and prevents rain, debris, and animals from entering the chimney.
- Cap can become damaged or blown off in strong winds.
- Buildup of creosote can block vents.
- Rust or corrosion can occur over time.
PART 02
Crown
The chimney crown is the top surface of the chimney, designed to keep water from entering the masonry chimney structure.
- Cracking can occur due to weather exposure.
- Improper slope can lead to water pooling.
- Deterioration from environmental factors.
PART 03
Flashing
Flashing is a seal between the chimney and roof that prevents water from leaking into the home.
- Flashing can rust or become loose.
- Improper installation can lead to leaks.
- Sealant can deteriorate over time.
PART 04
Brick and mortar
The brick and mortar form the main structure of the chimney, providing stability and protection.
- Mortar joints can crack or erode.
- Bricks can become loose or spall.

PART 05
Flue liner
The flue liner protects the chimney walls from heat and corrosion and ensures safe exhaust of smoke and gases.

PART 06
Smoke chamber
The smoke chamber funnels smoke from the firebox into the flue, aiding in efficient venting.

- Improper design can affect draft.
PART 07
Damper
The damper is a movable plate that regulates airflow and controls smoke and heat venting when the fireplace is in use.
