Chimney Fires & Chimney Trauma Claims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chimney fires, lightning strikes, earthquakes, fallen trees, very high winds, and other traumas to the chimney can cause damages to the liner and, masonry, or chimney structure itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood, coal, and to a lesser degree, oil, fires combust fuel incompletely. The resulting smoke exits the chimney with these unburned particulates in suspension. As the smoke rises, it cools. When it reaches a certain temperature, condensation occurs and the particulates are deposited on the interior of the flue in the form of soot or creosote. Soot, from oil appliances, and creosote, from wood and coal appliances, are the chief culprits in chimney fires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the right conditions, these deposits will ignite, sometimes explosively, and burn at very hot temperatures. Terra cotta tile liners will withstand large amounts of heat, but not a rapid rise in temperature. If the rise is severe\u00a0enough, the liner can crack and in some cases, even develop holes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the chimney fire may be contained in the first instance, the damaged liner needs to be repaired or possibly replaced to be certain that fire protection and proper function are maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
