Manorhaven, LI Masonry Chimney Company

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted things of a home. The fact that chimneys may do their job well, even when omitted, contributes to this thought of ‘it’s probably fine’. Chimneys are far from the passive black holes that most customers assume them to be. Adverse or deteriorated flue liners of masonry chimneys will become soft, cracked or otherwise broken – such that it/they no longer have the ability to control and contain the serious by-products of combustion.

Imprecisely lined chimneys may cause a number of immoderate structural and cosmetic complications for the customer and also create potentially pertinent safety hazards. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of Manorhaven, in which moisture that has penetrated the products periodically freezes and expands causing undue stress. Water in the chimney also starts rust in steel and cast iron, weakening or destroying the metal parts. Lots of masonry materials are porous and can absorb large amounts of water. Installing chimney caps and dampers could protect your chimney and maintain a safe chimney damper. Our pros might advise the owner in your own special situation what is best for you.
