Chimney Caps & Damper Contractors For All LI

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted parts of a structure. The chimney tends to not receive the thought or the concern usually afforded other alarming household systems. Chimneys are far from the quiet, passive black holes that are ‘just there’ that most homeowners assume them to be. Regular chimney maintenance is essential to prevent leaks, deterioration & future troublesome, high-cost chimney fixes.

The problem is that hundreds of masonry chimneys were not designed to handle the venting requirements of modern high-efficiency heating appliances burning natural gas and oil. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of Manor Park, in which moisture that has penetrated the materials periodically freezes & expands causing undue stress. A stone chimney acts & is like a brick chimney & it should also be protected from the effects of water penetration. Hundreds of masonry materials are porous and might absorb large amounts of water. Installing chimney caps and dampers may protect your chimney & maintain a safe chimney damper. Caps and dampers keep out the weather, all animals & most debris – all while keeping sparks from leaving the chimney which can ignite nearby combustibles like your roofing shingles, siding or nearby trees.

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 and it’s an approved liner for gas and 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 and heat resistant, airtight liner with a rigidity of a steel. A stainless steel chimney liner locks in moisture & flue gases in your chimney and keeps them out of your property.

This unique alloy is designed specifically to resist acids coming from gas appliances in the flue and extreme stresses of hot & cold cycles. The liner protects the house from heat transfer to combustibles. Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. The flue gases are acidic in nature & literally eat away at the mortar joints from inside the chimney. Liners provide a properly-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. Our obvious task is to remove flue deposits and evaluate the total condition of the chimney system.

Our objective is to provide recommendations that will improve the safety & efficiency of your appliance & venting system. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot and creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze in excess of 1/8 inch might be removed. Our experts employ a variety of cleaning practices to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney inspections are the only way to know when the chimney needs repairs.
