About Chimney Flue Liner Repair

A chimney liner creates a separation between the fumes in the flue and the walls of the chimney. The purpose of a chimney liner is to insulate the chimney so the aging and deterioration of the mortar does not increase. There are several reasons a homeowner should have a chimney liner installed:

Chimney Liners Reduce Chances of Fire

The chimney liner creates a barrier to contain heat within the liner instead of the surrounding chimney. The lack of a chimney liner increases the core temperature between the surrounding house structures, such as woodwork, and can lead to chimney fires.

Energy Efficiency Improvement Through Chimney Liners

A chimney liner also helps the environment and increases the comfort of a house. It helps burn a brighter fire while minimizing loss of heat. Additionally, it helps create and maintain optimal airflow throughout the chimney. Therefore fires require less fuel, resulting in saved energy.

Liners Stop Toxic Gases from Leaking Inside

Through improper installation or faulty construction of a chimney, it is possible for toxic gases to leak into the home. These gases are caused by incomplete combustion within the fireplace and can seep back into your home. A chimney liner provides a much better route for these gases to be released, effectively exhausting them out of the home.

A Word About Maintaining Chimney Liners

Some homes already have older chimney liners installed from previous owners. Chimney liners in old houses are typically made of fireclay. These chimney liners can occasionally crack or fissure as the house settles and the surrounding chimney moves. This allows gases and smoke to escape. Inspecting and possibly replacing old chimney liners is a common necessity and yet another service High’s Chimney offers. Make sure that even if you have a chimney liner already installed. you aren’t missing this crucial maintenance step.
