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

Metal liners are are really versatile, readily available in rigid or flexible versions, and most any house can accommodate them.
Clay tile liners are one of the most common type of chimney liner. Most older homes have clay liners. They are relatively cost-effective, but require routine maintenance to make certain that flue tiles do not fracture, split, or break.

The chimney crown is very important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This protects your flue and also chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown develops cracks or becomes damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create severe damage to the entire chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, basic repair work can be made to prevent issues from taking place.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealant can be used on top. This will securely block water from entering.
In scenarios where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it might be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown. This will protect the chimney for a lot more years. It is very important to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap secures your home in many 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 roof. 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 mount a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
Many individuals confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the interior of the chimney that smoke journeys through. The damper is the part of the chimney that closes off air circulation to the outside. When a damper comes to be old, it requires repair work. Generally fixing or changing the existing old metal damper can be costly.
It's much better to set up a top sealing damper. They are less expensive, and also every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts as well as unwanted weather outside. A considerable amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your house feel cooler in the winter. This can quickly amount to hundreds of dollars each year in additional heating expenses.
