Great Local, Kings Park Chimney Contractors

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted things of a structure. The chimney tends to not receive the attention or the concern usually accorded other damaged household systems. Chimneys are far from the passive black holes that most customers assume them to be. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions and loose masonry products all present a complication to buildings.

Each year there are thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisonings due to imperfectly lined chimneys. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of Kings Park, in which moisture that has penetrated the materials periodically freezes and expands causing undue stress. While most stone is not affected by water penetration, large amounts of mortar are required to bond the stone exactly. Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety and problem-prevention part. Defective mortar joints or the use of unsound mortar or brick will greatly increase the tendency to absorb and convey water to the interior of the masonry chimney. Our pros may advise an owner in your own unique situation what is best for you. For a metal, brick or fabricated chimney repair inspection call or text us at 631.388.7555.

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 most fitting for your fireplace chimney and 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 and keeps them out of your property.

Stainless steel liners have been UL Tested under the most extreme conditions including multiple simulated chimney fires exceeding 2100F so you’ll sleep soundly at night knowing that your structure is safer for yourself and your family. Liners in chimneys serve three main functions. 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 and mortar, the result would be a reduction in the usable life of the chimney. Liners provide a rightly-sized flue for optimum efficiency of appliances. Modern wood stoves and gas or oil furnaces require a rightly-sized flue to perform properly. Our major job is to remove flue deposits and evaluate the total condition of the chimney system.

The required cleaning frequency will depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel and the burning habits of the property owner. 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 technicians employ various cleaning plans to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney inspections are the only way to know when the chimney requires fixing.
