Metal liners are are extremely versatile, offered in rigid or flexible versions, and most any type of home can accommodate them.
Clay tile liners are some of the most common type of chimney liner. The majority of older residences have clay liners. They are fairly cost-effective, yet require routine maintenance to make sure that flue tiles do not fracture, split, or break.

Our pros can help establish the best choices for your house.
The chimney crown is extremely vital. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This protects your flue and also chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets fractures or becomes damaged whatsoever, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger severe damage to the whole chimney if not repaired. When uncovered early, standard repairs can be made to stop issues from occurring.
If breaking in the chimney crown is small, the fractures can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will securely prevent water from entering.
In situations where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it might be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make certain all areas are safe.
A chimney cap protects your home in numerous ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace as well as prevents hot sparks and embers from flying out and into your roofing. You must never run your fire place or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are made from galvanized or stainless steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service specialists can replace your chimney cap or mount a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.

It's far better to set up a top sealing damper. They are less costly, as well as every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts and also unwanted weather outdoors. A significant amount of air flow can leak in via the chimney from the outside, making your house feel chillier in the winter season. This can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars each year in extra heating costs.
