Dear Ms. McDonald:
On June 19, 1986 at the above referenced address an inspection was conducted on an
existing masonry fireplace. Cracks in the mortar of the firebox prompted your concern.
Upon inspecting the fireplace it was noted there were cracks in the mortar of the rear
and right side walls of the firebox, and also on the fa,,.ing on the upper right corner
of the firebox opening. The cracks, ranging from "hairline" to 1/8 in. in width, appear
to have occured recently, as they have not been covered with soot(the firebox has a
heavy covering of soot from previous use). You indicateu 1 wood burning fireplace
insert which did not have a direct vent connection to the chimney had recently been
removed.
Several possible reasons for the cracks come to mind:
Settlement of the fireplace foundation could create cracking. It would
not seem this has occured because of the age of the home and there
is no evidence of movenent elsewhere.
Excessive heat, which can occur during chimney fires.
Physical damage from installation or removal of wood stove, created
by wedging the unit against the walls, or striking the wall;.
There does not appear to be enough damage presently to warrant complete abandonment
of the fireplace. It would be necessary to complete the followi.nt, before using the
fireplace again:
Fill cracks with mortar.
Have fireplace and chimney thoroughly cleaned.
Replace damper un-*t (remov !d for insert) .
If L can be of any further assistance, please call this office.
Sincerely,
Brad Roast
Building Inspector
