Chimney Inspection

The chimney, vent, or any passageway for the stack gases to flow to the outdoor
atmosphere is a very important part of the heating system. No furnace,
regardless of the efficiency of the design, can perform satisfactorily when the
chimney to which it is connected is inadequate or in poor condition. Any of the
following symptoms may indicate a chimney has severe structural damage and is
unsuitable for use.
 Chimney appears to be leaning to the side.
 Chimney appears to have structural damage, i.e. loose or missing blocks
or bricks, or excessive deterioration at mortar joints.
 Tile liner damaged or missing.
 Flue gas leakage along the length of the chimney between the chimney
connector and discharge termination.
 Excessive corrosion at the cleanout port or at the chimney connector
entrance into the chimney.
 Structural debris, i.e. mortar or tile liner flakes, in base of the flue way.
A qualified person shall inspect the chimney to confirm it is correctly sized for the
application, properly constructed, and in sound condition. Refer to the Standard
for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-2001, for details on proper
chimney sizing and construction. If needed, the chimney should be cleaned
before installing the furnace. Any accumulation of dirt or debris at the bottom of
the flue should be removed.
