Chimney Fire Case Study

Because chimney fires often go unnoticed at the time of loss and evidence may be hidden, it can sometimes be months or even years before homeowners are aware of damage to their chimney flues. Expert investigations can help policyholders and insurance and legal professionals better understand these losses.

In this real-life account, a homeowner had their chimney cleaned for the first time in years and was informed a fire had damaged the flue tiles. Learn how a National Fire Experts (NFE) certified fire investigator verified that a fire occurred, identified its most plausible origin and cause, and assessed the flue for fire-related damage. You’ll also see how these investigations can identify potential safety risks due to creosote buildup.
