Professional Local, Plandome Manor Chimney Contractors

The chimney is one of the most useful components of a home. A Home’s chimney tends to not receive the attention or the concern usually given other leaking household systems. A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather can be a potential safety hazard. Leaky or deteriorated flue liners of masonry chimneys could become soft, cracked or otherwise leaky – such that it/they no longer have the ability to control & contain the dangerous by-products of combustion.

Shodily lined chimneys can cause a number of upscale structural & cosmetic problems for the customer & also create potentially pivotal safety hazards. A lot of masonry chimney products (except for real stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. A stone chimney acts & can be like a brick chimney and it can also be protected from the effects of water penetration. Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety & trouble-prevention component. Installing chimney caps & dampers can 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 could ignite nearby combustibles like your roofing shingles, siding or nearby trees.

This damper attaches to the top of the chimney’s flue tile liner, providing a tight, gasketed fit that seals in heat and seals out weather, insects, birds and animals. It’s sometimes hard to see how industrious animals & birds can be over the summer crafting a wonderfully cozy nest right inside your chimney.

Metal fireboxes, liners & dampers all might suffer rust & deterioration. Chimney liner tiles & mortar might crumble & crack leading to critical trouble. The chimney cap cover deflects the rain & the side mesh areas prevent pests and leaves from entering the chimney. A properly fitted chimney cap or guard will slow down wear-and-tear on your chimney and lining, potentially saving you from large repair expenses.

Local Chimney Repair & Replacement Contractors

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney can 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 & the most fitting 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 is air & water tight.

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 home is safer for yourself and your family. 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 and literally eat away at the mortar joints from inside the chimney. As the mortar joints degrade, heat transfers more rapidly to the nearby combustibles & dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide may leak into the living areas of the property. A chimney is responsible for not only allowing the products of combustion a way out of the house, but the draft generated by the chimney also supplies the combustion air to the appliance. Our prominent task is to remove flue deposits and evaluate the complete condition of the chimney system.

The required cleaning frequency may depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel & the burning habits of the property owner. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot & creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze more than 1/8 inch could be removed. Our masons employ multiple cleaning practices to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney consultations are the only way to know when the chimney needs fixing.
