An unmaintained chimney is a recipe for disaster. Over time and without maintenance, your flue liner may break down, resulting in a high potential for fire. If your flue is blocked, then gasses such as carbon monoxide may accumulate inside your house. Deterioration in the brickwork or mortar is unattractive, falling bricks present a hazard to pedestrians, a deteriorated chimney will be less effective at radiating heat, and deterioration can cause water to enter your home leading to damage to the structure, drywall, and other surfaces.
