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

Adding a chimney liner or relining your chimney can help shield your flue from damage as well as prevent fires. The three primary types of liners are metal, clay, and cast-in-place liners.
Metal liners are a newly favored type of chimney liner for upgrades and repairs. They are typically produced from stainless-steel, although they can sometimes be made from light weight aluminum also. Metal liners are are extremely versatile, offered in rigid or flexible versions, and most any type of residence can accommodate them.
Clay tile liners are some of the most common type of chimney liner. The majority of older houses have clay liners. They are relatively cost-effective, but need routine maintenance to make certain that flue tiles do not crack, split, or break.
Cast in place liners are a light material similar to cement that is installed inside the chimney for a seamless flue. These types of liners often tend to be hard to. install as well as costly. Over time, they can begin to develop cracks and need relining.
Our pros can help establish the most effective options for your residence.
The chimney crown is really important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This secures your flue as well as chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets fractures or becomes damaged in any way, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause severe damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the cracks can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will securely block water from entering.
In situations where there is 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 just the crown. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It is essential to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make sure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap safeguards your home in many ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and prevents hot sparks and embers from flying out and into your roof. You should never run your fire place 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 professionals can replace your chimney cap or set up a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
Many people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the inside of the chimney that smoke travels through. The damper is the portion of the chimney that blocks air flow to the outside. When a damper becomes old, it requires repair work. Typically fixing or replacing the existing old metal damper can be pricey.
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 unwanted weather outdoors. A substantial amount of airflow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your house feel colder in the winter. This can easily amount to hundreds of dollars per year in extra home heating costs.
There are times when a quick fixing isn't a great solution and a damaged chimney needs to be completely rebuilt. Our expert chimney professionals can do chimney masonry repair as well as full chimney rebuilding.
