Chimney Liner

Is this chimney lined? There is excessive deterioration and seperation of the mortar joints.
The roof & flashings have recently been replaced.

Lined with a masonry flue. The picture (2nd) almost looks like a concrete flue rather than clay.

Maybe the builder was also in the storm drain business and used cement storm drain pipes…:smiley:

David,

This may have been a “Cast In Place” liner or a relined chimney using insulcrete.
