CHIMNEY LINER REPAIR
If you enjoy your cozy fireplace during the winter months and the appeal it adds to your home, maintenance should be part of your yearly routine. There are many parts of your chimney that you should keep up with, especially when you are looking into repairs or replacements.
Chimney liners, also known as flue liners, allow gases such as carbon monoxide to escape safely from your home. Liners also help control the exterior temperature of the chimney. Chimney lining repair and installation is a standard procedure for homeowners. When you need service, you can count on Atlanta Chimney Doctor. Our warranty coverage and owner presence on every jobsite highlight our commitment to quality and safety.
How to Know if Your Chimney Liner Needs Replacing
When a chimney liner begins to wear down, gaps and cracks form in it. A deteriorated chimney liner can significantly increase carbon monoxide risks. Even a small separation in the flue can allow fumes to linger inside the house, which creates health concerns. It can also weaken the surrounding masonry. You may notice a smoky fireplace, strange odors or even draft problems, which would be a good time to schedule an inspection.
Cases that may require you to have your chimney liner repaired or replaced include:
- Misalignment: The smooth surface of a liner allows air to escape with ease. Misaligned liners make it harder for toxic fumes to leave your home.
- Missing flue liner joints: Mortar lining joints disappear over time after exposure to rain and corrosive fumes.
- Gaps between liners: Gaps can occur from missing liner joints or improper installation. Gaps can lead to trapped carbon monoxide or deterioration of the chimney.
Annual maintenance can prevent structural damage and the higher costs associated with rebuilding large sections of the chimney later. It can also reduce carbon monoxide and fire risks stemming from a worn chimney liner, making it safer for you and your family.
If maintenance is not enough, then updating any misplaced or faulty liners will prevent further damage to your home. To continue to enjoy your chimney, you should schedule regular professional inspections to check your liner’s safety and replace or repair your liner as needed.
Our Safe Chimney Relining Services
At Atlanta Chimney Doctor, we specialize in stainless steel chimney liners. These liners separate the fireplace or the furnace exhaust from the rest of your house. They provide an ideal path for smoke and gas to funnel out of your home.
Stainless steel liners are made of one piece of continuous metal, so gaps cannot form. Stainless steel liners come in a variety of diameters and work well with different size chimneys.
Some of the advantages of stainless steel chimney liners include:
- Lifetime warranty: We strive to keep your chimney safe for a long time. With our comprehensive warranty, you can feel confident in the quality of our services every time.
- Fire protection: Controlling the air quality and temperature helps reduce the risk of fire.
- Code requirements: If you choose to sell your home, a new stainless steel liner will help you meet fire code requirements and add value to your home.
Another massive advantage is that, unlike clay tile chimney liners, stainless steel liners are not sectional and have no connectors or joints that can separate or shift. Instead, they are one continuous piece. This prevents shifting or separating, which reduces the chance of breakages and toxic fumes escaping into your home.
