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 protect against fires. The 3 major sorts of liners are metal, clay, and cast-in-place liners.

Metal liners are are very versatile, available 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. Most older homes have clay liners. They are relatively cost-effective, yet require regular maintenance to make sure that flue tiles do not fracture, split, or break.

The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This protects your flue as well as chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or ends up being damaged at all, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause serious damage to the entire chimney if not repaired. When discovered early, basic repair services can be made to stop issues from happening.
If splitting in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealant can be used on top. This will securely prevent water from getting in.
In circumstances where there is much more extensive 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 only the crown. This will secure the chimney for a lot more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap secures your home in numerous ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place as well as prevents hot sparks as well as 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 made of galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service professionals can replace your chimney cap or install a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
Lots of people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the interior 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 needs fixing. Usually repairing or replacing the existing old metal damper can be expensive.
It's better to set up a top sealing damper. They are cheaper, and also every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts as well as unwanted weather outside. A considerable amount of airflow can leak in via the chimney from the outside, making your house feel chillier in the wintertime. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars per year in additional heating costs.
There are times when a fast fixing isn't a good option and a damaged chimney needs to be completely rebuilt. Our expert chimney experts can do chimney masonry repair work and total chimney rebuilding.

The firebox is the place inside the fireplace where the fire burns. This part of the fire place can in some cases require repair work. Firebox tuckpointing is a process that removes old mortar joints. The surface in between the joints is cleaned, and then the old joints are loaded with brand-new cement. Fractured or loosened bricks can also be fixed.
Prefabricated fireplaces have refractory panels. These panels are repaired by cutting and sizing replacement panels, fitting them together and installing them.
Fireplace doors and gas logs are a wonderful improvement for your fireplace. The most recent gas logs are appealing and realistic looking and are much cleaner than wood burning. We can aid with any range of fireplace repair and enhancements.
