When it comes to chimney care, there are some similarities between masonry chimneys and prefab ones. For one thing, annual inspections and regular sweepings are always a must, no matter what type of system you’re operating. And they both utilize similar parts, like chimney caps, chimney dampers, fireboxes, and more.

That said, they have some distinct differences, too. One way a prefab system differs from a masonry one is that it has a wooden chimney chase, rather than a chimney built from bricks and mortar. A well-built wooden chimney chase will protect your home and chimney, reducing the likelihood of experiencing fires, gas leaks, water damage, pest invasion, and more.

But if your chase is rotted or broken down, your home and system could face some serious damage.
