If not properly cleaned, oil burner and gas burner chimneys can become dangerous over time. In oil burner chimneys, soot and clay can build up and prevent fumes from being vented away from your house. Gas burners, especially older ones, might have blockage from old terracotta linings, preventing ventilation. Just because you can't see soot build-up in your gas furnace doesn't mean there's no corrosive or dangerous substances in your chimney. Without the proper system to ventilate your chimney, dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide can build up and release into the air.
Chimney liners are a very important aspect of your heating appliance chimneys, especially when you are switching from oil to gas. Chimney liners have become mandated by most fire codes because they are instrumental in keeping you and your family safe. Having a chimney liner inside your chimney serves many important functions. Besides protecting the walls of your chimney, a chimney liner also redirects smoke and other gases outside of your home and into the atmosphere. Gas- and oil-burning furnaces need to be properly ventilated so harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide, do not leak back into your home.
Masonry work (including brick, stone and cement) can be adversely affected by direct contact with water, as water can penetrate the surface. Temperature changes can periodically freeze and expand penetrated water, cause stress on the materials, and accelerate deterioration. It is essential to prevent water damage that can cause interior and exterior damage to your home. But water isn't the only thing that can hurt your masonry work. Hazardous gas and smoke from a fire can cause damage to the structural integrity of your chimney.
