I have sandy particles and debris falling down my chimney, what is it and what needs to be Done?
We have two examples of this. A) Most commonly on properties built in the 1900’s this indicates that the original lining (Pargetting) has deteriorated. This exposes the mortar joints and brick work to corrosion from the effects of the combustion gasses through soot acid attack and weathering. If the deterioration continues the mortar joints and brick-work (masonry) will corrode further. This could make the brickwork so weak that the flue way, the dividing walls within the chimney structure, could collapse. This problem is typical for properties built in the 1900’s. Our specialised Thermocrete B2C lining system can rectify this problem by reinforcing (repairing and strengthening the structure from the inside) the chimney and preventing further internal deterioration. This system is guaranteed for 25 years and has an expected lifespan of 65 years. B) A more common problem for properties built around the 1930’s is when sandy particles and debris fall down the flue way due to the original
