If you have a fireplace you’ve likely heard the word “flue.” Do you know what the “flue” is? Flue refers to the space inside the chimney.

When your chimney cap comes loose, it can allow all types of debris to find its way into your chimney. If that happens, embers from the fire in your fireplace could catch the debris on fire, causing a serious situation since the top of your chimney isn’t meant for fires.

One of the most common repair issues for chimneys has to do with a cracked chimney lining. The opening of the chimney, or flue, can be lined with a number of different materials. Some, like clay tile, are more likely to develop cracks than others. If left alone, these cracks can allow the heat of the fire to reach parts of the home that will burn.

Most newly constructed chimneys use liners. These help prevent creosote from building up as well as help keep the flue gases where they are supposed to be.

The ancient Romans are credited with creating the first structured chimneys, which were built to draw smoke out of busy bakeries and large buildings containing heated baths. Private homes lacked chimneys, and relied instead on central hearths that vented smoke through openings in the roof.

We usually think of chimneys lifting smoke from fires out of our homes, but they also help filter the heat produced by the fires out of the home. While some heat from a fire can be welcomed, too much heat could risk a fire in a home.

Chimneys are subject to the elements and, because of this, are vulnerable to deterioration over time. Rain, snow, and excessive heat can all affect the structural integrity of bricks and mortar. Although most chimneys are designed to last 100 years or more, more porous adobe and antique blends only around 50 years or so.

It took awhile for chimneys to show up, with the first ones in Europe appearing in the 1100s. In fact, the oldest still existing chimney still dates from that time. The chimney is part of Conisbrough Castle in Yorkshire, England, and was built in 1185 AD.
