Why is it so dangerous to have cracks and gaps in my clay tile liner?

We Can Restore Your Clay Tile Flue Liner with HeatShield - Albany NY - Champs Chimney ServiceBuilding codes in cities, towns, and municipalities mandate that all chimneys is lined with a clay tile, metal, or cast-in-place liner. A chimney liner serves three important functions to keep a chimney and fireplace system operating efficiently and safely. A liner protects the combustible parts of your home that surround the chimney from heat transfer. It prevents damage of the chimney structure from corrosive flue gases. It also provides a properly sized match to your specific heating appliance.

When there are cracks and gaps in a chimney liner, there is an increased risk for a chimney fire or a carbon monoxide leak. This damage also lead to deterioration of the bricks and mortar joints of the chimney, as with the continuous exposure of corrosive gases which eat away at the masonry materials.
