Relining your chimney

• Chimney relining is a cost effective way of fixing a damaged or old chimney. Relining your chimney may be necessary after a chimney fire, natural accident (hurricanes, lightning strike, etc.), or if your chimney was built without a liner installed. Old liners or chimneys without liners may lead to creosole seeping through the chimney walls and may cause a chimney fire. Whether you are converting your furnace or boiler from one type of fuel to another, planning to install a woodstove in a fireplace or simply have not had lining inspected in a long time, call or email us   for a professional advice.
  
  
• Common relining materials are Clay Flue liners, Stainless Steel liners, Aluminum and Cast-In-Place.
  • Stainless steel - the most common relining material. Available in round, rectangle and oval shapes and can be made of either flexible of rigit constriction. These liners are insulated with either a ceramic fiber blanket or a mixture of Portland cement and vermiculite.
  • Cast-in-Place involves pouring a special mixture of cement amd insulation material around a form to create a new flue liner
  • Clay flue -primary choice for new construction but can also be used for relining.
  • Aluminum liners should only be used to vent certain gas powered appliances and are not suitable for woodburning fireplaces
