Chimney Liners

The chimney liner acts as an insulating layer of protection to keep the intense heat and flames inside the flue where it belongs. However, when the liner deteriorates, the heat and gases can leak poisonous carbon monoxide gas into your home. It can even cause a house fire!

So, how do you know when your flue needs a new liner? Watch out for these five warning signals:

• The liner has reached its useful life
• There are pieces of clay material in the firebox
• Your fireplace fills up with smoke
• It is difficult to light or maintain a productive fire
• You’re using more fuel for the same level of heat

We often recommend customers install a UL-listed stainless steel flue liner. Its water and pest resistance, durability, and longevity make it the most effective material for chimney relining. Plus, it increases energy efficiency and reduces sooty deposits.

Chimney Sweep

Few things are more pleasant than the sounds of a crackling fire in the fireplace on a chilly day in the Metrolina area. However, these spectacular fires naturally produce carbonaceous material called creosote. As it remains in the flue, it hardens into a brown or black and oily or tarry, highly flammable material. Failure to remove creosote properly is the primary cause of house fires.

Our trained chimney technicians use professional tools, supplies, and equipment to remove this and other dangerous contaminants inside the chimney. In addition to a thorough cleaning, our chimney sweeps perform inspections, repairs, and new fireplace, insert, and stove installations.

Chimney Inspection

While national fire safety experts encourage folks with gas or wood-burning heating appliances to have annual chimney inspections, not everyone does. In addition to reducing the risk of fire and exposure to smoke and harmful contaminants, a yearly checkup will spot early signs of damage before it causes more extensive and costlier repairs. Your chimney sweep will also let you know if cleaning is necessary and when the liner and other components need repair or replacement.
