The chimney flue is the interior shaft that vents smoke as well as gases which are produced by burning a fire in the fire place.

Adding a chimney liner or relining your chimney can help secure your flue from damages and also protect against fires. The 3 main kinds of liners are metal, clay, and cast-in-place liners.
Metal liners are a newly preferred kind of chimney liner for upgrades and repair services. They are normally produced from stainless steel, although they can occasionally be made from light weight aluminum also. Metal liners are are extremely versatile, available in stiff or flexible models, and most any house can accommodate them.
Clay tile liners are one of the most common type of chimney liner. Most older houses have clay liners. They are fairly cost-effective, yet need routine maintenance to make certain that flue tiles don't crack, split, or break.

The chimney crown is very important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This secures your flue and also chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or ends up being damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger serious damage to the entire chimney if not fixed. When found early, basic repair work can be made to avoid issues from occurring.
If breaking in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will securely block water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it may be necessary to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap protects your home in lots of ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and also prevents hot sparks and also embers from flying out and into your roofing. You must never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless-steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service specialists can replace your chimney cap or install a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
Lots of people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the inside of the chimney that smoke travels through.

It's much better to install a top sealing damper. They are cheaper, and also every reliable. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts as well as undesirable weather outside. A significant amount of air movement can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your home feel chillier in the wintertime. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars each year in additional home heating costs.
