Deterioration
According to the CSIA (csia.org), Problems such as gaps, cracks, and spalling in your chimney’s flu can present serious risks to your home and family, because your chimney can no longer perform it’s intended function – to safely contain and vent the products of combustion to the outside.

“If the flu liner in a chimney has softened, cracked or otherwise deteriorated so that it no longer has the ability to contain the products of combustion (i.e., heat, moisture, creosote, and flue gases), it shall be removed or replaced, repaired or relined…” NFPA 211 – Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel – Burning Appliances (2006)
