The cement back of my fireplace is cracked. Could I fix this by putting cement board over it and screwed in? and how would i know if the chimeny is sealed and not going to cause a house fire..it hasnt been burned in in a long time

  1. Cement board is not an appropriate material for inside a fireplace. Get the brick re-mortared.

    Do not use the fireplace for a wood fire before having the chimney inspected.
