The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted components of a home. The fact that chimneys will do their job perfectly, even when passed over, contributes to this aura of ‘it’s probably fine’. Chimneys are far from the passive black holes that most people assume them to be. Damaged or deteriorated flue liners of masonry chimneys will become soft, cracked or otherwise deteriorated – such that it/they no longer have the ability to control and contain the dangerous by-products of combustion.

Incorrectly lined chimneys might cause a number of immoderate structural and cosmetic worries for the homeowner and also create potentially critical safety hazards.

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney can 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.

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.

Liners in chimneys serve three main functions. Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. 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. The 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. An incorrectly-sized liner will lead to additional creosote buildup in wood burning stoves and the production of carbon monoxide with conventional fuels.

Our mission is to provide recommendations that could improve the safety and efficiency of your appliance and 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 will be removed. Our pros employ many cleaning methods to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney checks are the only way to know when the chimney requires fixing.
