The chimney flue is the internal shaft that vents smoke as well as gases which are created by burning a fire in the fireplace.

Adding a chimney liner or relining your chimney can help protect your flue from damages as well as prevent fires. The 3 primary sorts of liners are metal, clay, and cast-in-place liners.
Metal liners are a newly preferred type of chimney liner for upgrades and repair services.

Metal liners are are extremely versatile, readily available in stiff or flexible models, and most any kind of house can accommodate them.
Clay tile liners are one of the most common kind of chimney liner. Many older residences have clay liners. They are fairly inexpensive, yet need routine maintenance to make certain that flue tiles do not fracture, split, or break.

Our pros can help establish the most effective options for your house.
The chimney crown is very vital. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This protects your flue as well as chimney from rainfall and various other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or ends up being damaged at all, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause severe damage to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, basic repair services can be made to stop issues from occurring.
If breaking in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be loaded with patch and a water-proof sealer can be used on top. This will securely prevent water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is much more extensive damage to the crown, it may be needed to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap protects your home in many ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and also prevents hot sparks and also embers from flying out and into your roof. You must never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are made from galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or mount a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
Many individuals confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the inside of the chimney that smoke travels through. The damper is the component of the chimney that blocks air circulation to the exterior. When a damper becomes old, it needs fixing. Generally repairing or changing the existing old metal damper can be costly.
It's far better to set up a top sealing damper. They are cheaper, and also every effective. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts and undesirable weather outside. A considerable amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your residence feel cooler in the winter. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars annually in additional heating expenses.
