The chimney is one of the most under appreciated parts of a home. Your chimney tends to not receive the redress or the concern usually afforded other leaking household systems. Chimneys perform several imperitive functions & their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements. Regular chimney maintenance is paramount to prevent leaks, deterioration and future troublesome, high-cost chimney fixes.

Each year there are thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisonings due to shodily lined chimneys. Hundreds of masonry chimney products (except for genuine stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. A stone chimney acts & seems to be like a brick chimney and it should also be protected from the effects of water penetration. Many of masonry materials are porous and may absorb large amounts of water. Installing chimney caps & dampers might protect your chimney and maintain a safe chimney damper.

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney may depend on the type of deposits. A flue lining in a masonry chimney is defined as “a clay, ceramic or metal liner. A lining cleaning is cost-effective and the best possible for your fireplace chimney & in chimneys serving gas, oil, wood or coal burning appliances. Composite chimney lining system that gets inflated into the chimney flue and steam pressure is added to harden the resin, turning it into hard composite liner. A stainless steel chimney liner locks in moisture and flue gases in your chimney & keeps them out of your home.

This unique alloy is designed specifically to resist acids coming from gas appliances in the flue and extreme stresses of hot & cold cycles. Liners in chimneys serve three main functions. Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. The flue gases are acidic in nature and literally eat away at the mortar joints from inside the chimney. Liners provide a properly-sized flue for optimum efficiency of appliances. Modern wood stoves and gas or oil furnaces require a precisely-sized flue to perform exactly. An improperly-sized liner may lead to other creosote buildup in wood burning stoves and the production of carbon monoxide with conventional fuels.

The required cleaning frequency could depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel & the burning habits of the consumer. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot and creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze in addition to 1/8 inch may be removed. Our experts employ various cleaning practices to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney estimates are the only way to know when the chimney needs replacing.
