Home Inspection Structural Comment; Not for the Squeamish

Repair: The original fireplace chimney was essentially built into the solid masonry wall structure of the home located on the interior side of the wall (chimney not visible at exterior). The chimney no longer passes through the roof line and the chimney is not suitable for use. The top of the chimney was demo'd below the roof line elevation but was not blocked off and air sealed in the attic or at the top of the fireplaces. Currently, free air transfer occurs between the attic and living room and attic and basement as a result and is a significant energy efficiency issue bringing air with attic conditions into the home. When the HVAC system at the 1st level turns on, attic air is pulled from the attic down the flue into the living room. The attic temperature was approx. 100 deg F at the time of inspection. Loose brick is also present at the top of the flues and could be a falling hazard down the flue if dislodged. A chimney/fireplace technician should be contacted to properly block off and air seal the chimney flues and address debris. Seeing Knowing Throwing money away Inspector Bill Carlson
