Chimney Relining

A chimney liner protects the chimney masonry and joints from the heat of the fire. It also protects the chimney from the corrosion that can be inflicted by the acidic flue gases that emanate from the fire. By preventing overheating and corrosion, a chimney liner ensures a longer life for your chimney.

4 reasons why a chimney specialist would recommend a new liner:

1. The clay tile liner is damaged or deteriorating.
2. The chimney has a condensation problem.
3. The fireplace has been converted to burn a different fuel or you’ve had a fireplace insert
installed.
4. The chimney is unsafe.

A properly sized flue creates the ideal draft for your appliance, whether it’s a furnace, a water heater, a fireplace or a stove. Over-sized flues tend to provide too weak a draft for modern appliances. A chimney liner of the appropriate size for your appliance will help improve the draft, which in turn improves the operation of the appliance.

In the end, a properly installed stainless steel chimney liner is the kind of insurance that allows you to rest easy, knowing you can use your fireplace or wood stove safely.
