A pre fabricated chimney on Long Island is made from metal and is an alternative to a traditional masonry chimney, which is made from mortar and brick.
Pre fabricated chimneys have been available since the 1980s and are typically used with pre fabricated fireplace systems. When it comes time to select fireplace systems for their remodeled or newly constructed homes, homeowners should be aware of the pros and cons of pre fabricated chimneys.
The pros and cons of owning a pre-fabricated chimney. The pre fabricated type of chimney is less prone to leakage than is a masonry chimney. However, if it is not properly maintained, the sealant around the storm collars or chimney lining pipes can deteriorate and cause leaks.
A leak can also result if the chimney chase cover is damaged. Therefore, annual chimney inspection is recommended to ensure that the system is in peak operating condition.
