Forget what the "guy" said. Just patch it. FFLives matter. Jack.I suggested that and the guy said there is no fix for it beyond what he told me.
I will look into it.
Thank you.

What size is the fireplace flue?Will a 6" liner work for a fireplace? Jack.
Sounds like the machine that primes rimfire cases.... there are companies that can seal it from the top down. I used a company I think they were out of Newburyport. For a chimney in Marblehead. They used some sort of mortar mix but they had a machine that spun as they lowered it. And through the cement against the interior walls.
very carefullyHow do you gave sex with a fireplace?
I bet it’s hotvery carefully
Those fireplace chimney guys are all the same!!They told me the same thing 16 years ago. Hundreds of cords of wood later fireplace is fine. They also told me not to use my fireplace because of a code issue or my heating system then said they could put a liner in for me for $5G. I said this actually works on old people you’ll take advantage of doesn’t it?!!you can leave now.I had my chimneys cleaned and inspected yesterday.
I have a multi-level ranch build in 1962.
It has a fireplace on the main level and a fireplace in the basement.
The fireplace in the basement has a cracked flue tile at the bottom near the throat.
The guy told me that because my fireplace isn't up to code, meaning that the flue is 8"x8" and code calls for 8"x12" flue due to the size of the fireplace that it cannot be fixed.
Said he can't even put in a liner because the code issue.
Is there a way to seal the crack in the flue tile to make the fireplace usable?
or are my only choices a tear down/rebuild or an insert?
