The purpose of a flue/venting system is to channel smoke and/or toxic gases away from the appliance and out of the home. If it’s been more than a year since your chimney flue or furnace flue was inspected, now is a good time to bring out one of our trained chimney technicians to have a look.
Our chimney professionals are able to spot a variety of issues for our Morris County customers including damaged flue liners, drafting blockages, dangerous creosote buildups and more.
We’ll also check to ensure that your chimney or furnace flue has been properly connected to the appliance it vents.
Over the years, heat, moisture and repeated use can negatively affect flue liners. When a chimney or furnace flue liner breaks, cracks or splits, some pretty serious problems may be on the way.
Compromised liners allow smoke and toxic gases to escape and move into living spaces in your home. Among the biggest concerns is carbon monoxide, which is produced when wood and gas fuels burn. Invisible and odorless, carbon monoxide is known to be potentially fatal when inhaled by people and pets.
The best way to prevent a carbon monoxide tragedy is with regular flue liner inspections and repairs along with working CO monitors in your home.
Most Morris County homeowners know that chimney flues collect flammable creosote, which can impede drafting and cause a chimney fire. What they don’t know is that furnace flues also collect draft-hindering debris in the form of particulate matter, and are at risk as well.
Flues are sized specifically to draft the appliances to which they’re connected. Any narrowing of the air passage and drafting will be less efficient. This is another way that smoke and harmful gases can enter your home.
Chimneys and furnaces whose vent systems aren’t protected on the outside can see the intrusion of leaves, twigs and small animals, all of which block the flow of air. We recommend that all our Morris County customers schedule an annual chimney sweeping/flue cleaning to keep their venting clean and open.
