The chimney flue is the internal shaft that vents smoke and also gases which are created by burning a fire in the fire place.

Adding a chimney liner or relining your chimney can help protect your flue from damage and protect against fires. The three primary kinds of liners are metal, clay, and cast-in-place liners.
Metal liners are a newly preferred kind of chimney liner for upgrades and repairs.

Metal liners are are extremely versatile, available in stiff or flexible models, and most any house can accommodate them.

The chimney crown is really important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This shields your flue and chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or ends up being damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create severe damage to the entire chimney if not repaired. When uncovered early, basic repairs can be made to stop issues from taking place.
If breaking in the chimney crown is minor, the cracks can be loaded with patch and a water-proof sealer can be applied on top. This will securely keep water from getting in.
In circumstances where there is more extensive damage to the crown, it may be needed to reconstruct 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 very important to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap shields your home in many ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and also prevents hot sparks and also embers from flying out and into your roofing. You should never run your fire place or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless-steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or set up a 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 interior of the chimney that smoke journeys through. The damper is the portion of the chimney that closes off air circulation to the outside. When a damper becomes old, it requires repair. Usually fixing or changing the existing old metal damper can be pricey.
It's much better to set up a top sealing damper. They are less expensive, and every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts and undesirable weather outside. A significant amount of airflow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your residence feel chillier in the winter season. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars per year in extra home heating costs.
There are times when a fast repair isn't a great option and a damaged chimney needs to be totally rebuilt. Our expert chimney experts can do chimney masonry repair as well as full chimney rebuilding.

Cracked or loose bricks can also be fixed.
