Everyone knows that fire is hot. What a lot of people don’t realize is that during a fire in the fireplace, temperatures in the flue can go above 400 degrees. That’s a lot of heat for a chimney liner to contain.

If the liner is cracked or otherwise damaged, big problems can result. For this reason, we often recommend replacing damaged liners with durable and economical stainless-steel chimney liners.

Anderson’s Chimney & Masonry Service of New Cumberland, PA, would like to tell you a little about these versatile liners and how they can protect your home.

Types of Chimney Liners

There are three main types of liners found in Pennsylvania chimneys:

Stainless-steel liners
Clay tile liners
Cast-in-place liners

All three do a fine job of protecting the home and ensuring a good draft, but for most applications, stainless steel is your best choice.

Stainless-Steel Chimney Liners

Because of its durability, flexibility and economy, a stainless-steel liner is a perfect choice when building a new chimney. It’s also ideal as a replacement for many tile or cast-in-place liners that have become damaged and vulnerable.

There are ways to repair other types of liners, but the project can be pretty involved because workers can’t actually enter the flue to make the repairs.

A stainless-steel liner is simply placed inside the flue. In order to maintain the proper flue-to-fireplace size ratio, the existing liner may have to be removed before relining.

Properly installed liners made of stainless steel meet or exceed all state and local fire safety and building codes. When the Anderson’s crew installs a chimney liner – or performs any other chimney or fireplace work – it gets done right the first time.

Is Your Chimney Liner Failing?

Watch for these signs:

Chunks of clay tiles or other liner materials in the firebox
Cracks in the chimney’s exterior bricks
Excess condensation around the fireplace opening or in the firebox
Sluggish drafting
Smoke and carbon monoxide monitors going off

These signs can point to other problems with a chimney and fireplace system, so schedule an inspection to find out exactly what they mean.

Relining Your Chimney

If it’s been many years since your chimney flue was inspected, or if you’re noticing any of the above signs, schedule a chimney inspection with our CSIA-certified technicians. If a new liner is needed, we’ll install one. If other repairs are required, we’ll make them.
