Relining
What Is Chimney Relining?
The lining is one of the most important parts of your chimney. After many uses, your chimney liner begins to deteriorate, making it hazardous to use your fireplace.
A properly functioning liner is essential because it channels heat and gases up through the chimney top and prevent the heat from causing combustible materials around the chimney from catching fire.
When your liner is cracked or crumbling, it is a must that you get your chimney relined before using your fireplace.
How Do I Know If I Need My Chimney Liner Replaced?
If you can’t remember the last time you had qualified technicians inspect your chimney, then it has been too long. Call us for a free safety inspection and we will gladly check your chimney liner as well as the rest of the system for you.
In the event you don’t have an effective chimney liner installed in the flue, your home could face serious fire hazards.
Another common sign that you need a new chimney liner is when you notice that your chimney walls are deteriorating. When your chimney liner is not in optimal condition, the heat and condensation from the fireplace will begin to cause damage to the chimney and the surrounding mortar.
Fire Prevention
Enjoying a cozy evening by the fire is wonderful — until the fire ends up somewhere other than the fireplace. When a chimney isn’t properly and regularly maintained, soot and creosote begin to build-up, which pose a huge fire risk as time goes on.
Most newer homes are installed with a chimney liner of some kind, but many older homes are not. Owners of older homes should strongly consider installing a chimney liner to help prevent chimney fires.
Even if your chimney already has a liner, they do wear out as the years pass so it’s essential to have a company such as ours perform annual chimney cleanings so the chimney lining can be replaced or repaired before it becomes a safety hazard.
