   CIPP is considered a trenchless technology, meaning little to no digging is typically required, for a potentially more cost-effective and less disruptive method than traditional "dig and replace" pipe repair methods. The liner is inserted using water or air pressure, applied via pressure vessels, scaffolds or a "chip unit".

   The stack effect or chimney effect is the movement of air into and out of buildings through unsealed openings, chimneys, flue-gas stacks, or other purposefully designed openings or containers, resulting from air buoyancy. Buoyancy occurs due to a difference in indoor-to-outdoor air density resulting from temperature and moisture differences ...

7. Chimney fire - Wikipedia

   Alternatively, a chimney fire may be caused by old bird's nests which have fallen into the chimney and lodged there. When a hot ember ignites the nests, the fire can be just as serious as one caused by ignition of soot. In very old houses, the chimney may also be very large and thick enough to withstand the fire. The high temperatures may ...
