Pro, Local, Flower Hill Chimney Company

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted parts of a property. Your chimney tends to not receive the redress or the concern usually given other alarming household systems. A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather could be a potential safety hazard. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions and uplifted masonry materials all present a complication to buildings.

Haphazardly lined chimneys might cause a number of upscale structural & cosmetic complications for the property owner and also create potentially critical safety hazards. A lot of masonry chimney materials (except for authentic stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. A stone chimney acts and can be like a brick chimney & it should also be protected from the effects of water penetration. Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety & leak-prevention component. Installing chimney caps & dampers will protect your chimney & maintain a safe chimney damper. Our masons only send fully-trained chimney cleaning highly-skilled pros to your residence that may live up to the guidelines of the CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) and the NCSG (National Chimney Sweeps Guild), the two regulatory organizations for the chimney industry in the United States.

One of the least expensive parts of the chimney venting system is the one that could prevent some of the most inordinate damage. If you don’t have a chimney cap on your chimney, stop reading & call Flower Hill’s local roofing experts for an estimate now! Every chimney expert knows that a safe chimney cap is a must. Most chimney caps are made from copper or stainless steel. Some caps can actually help facilitate the updraft function of the chimney as well by virtue of their special design. Chimney dampers may help prevent water penetrations, heat loss and keep you warm and saving you money. This damper attaches to the top of the chimney’s flue tile liner, providing a tight, gasketed fit that seals in heat & seals out weather, insects, birds & animals. It’s sometimes hard to believe how industrious animals and birds will be over the summer crafting a wonderfully cozy nest right inside your chimney.

Metal fireboxes, liners & dampers all could suffer rust & deterioration. Chimney liner tiles & mortar might crumble and crack leading to critical leaks. The chimney cap cover deflects the rain and the side mesh areas prevent pests & leaves from entering the chimney. Of course, latest chimney cleaning and maintenance are still recommended annually.

Our chimney repair & installation technicians are very knowledgeable about a large variety of types of chimney caps, guards & dampers. Water initiates more weakening than any other element. It soaks into porous bricks and degrades at the mortar. A chimney cap that covers all flues will protect you from upscale repairs. Chimneys could block proper ventilation and even enter your house, potentially spreading disease & wreaking havoc. Our strong mesh & lids can keep even the most determined animals out! Your fireplace may spew sparks out into the environment, onto the roof or nearby flammable materials. Stray sparks might be stopped cold by the meshing cover that is a component of all of our chimney caps.

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney could depend on the type of deposits. The Thermocrete process coats the inside of the chimney from top to bottom with a highly durable ceramic sealant. Thermocrete has undergone rigorous UL Listing & it is an approved liner for gas & oil. It conforms to any shape, size and length of the chimney and become a non-destructive chimney lining system which is corrosion-proof, flame & heat resistant, airtight liner with a rigidity of a steel. A stainless steel chimney liner is air and water tight.

This unique alloy is designed specifically to resist acids coming from gas appliances in the flue & extreme stresses of hot and cold cycles. The liner protects the house from heat transfer to combustibles. In the NBS tests, unlined chimneys allowed heat to move through the chimney so rapidly that the adjacent woodwork caught fire in only 3 1/2 hours. In the tests, it was determined that if the flue gases were allowed to penetrate to the brick & mortar, the result would be a reduction in the usable life of the chimney. Liners provide a correctly-sized flue for optimum efficiency of appliances. A chimney is responsible for not only allowing the products of combustion a passage out of the house, but the draft generated by the chimney also supplies the combustion air to the appliance. An erroneously-sized liner may lead to excessive creosote buildup in wood burning stoves and the production of carbon monoxide with conventional fuels.

The required cleaning frequency will depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel & the burning habits of the homeowner. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot & creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze more than 1/8 inch will be removed. We employ numerous cleaning techniques to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney consultations are the only way to know when the chimney needs help.
