Chimney Flue Relining

Damaged and improper flue liners for your gas, oil and wood-based appliances hamper the safety of operation of your chimney. Chimney Medics can replace the liners with a more durable, nonporous and effective liner. This will lead to less buildup of waste products in the flue and prevent toxic fumes from leaking into your home.

Inside the chimney's brick, block or stone exterior is a very important secondary structure known as the flue or liner. Every heating appliance in your home, like the furnace, fireplace, stove and water heater, has its own dedicated flue to discharge the by-products of combustion.

Ever since the 1920s, flues have been made with 2-foot long sections of terra-cotta, stacked on top of one another and the joints sealed with mortar to make the flue lining seamless. Over the course of a few years, the terra-cotta begins cracking up and the mortar joints fall out. This exposes gaps in the lining allowing the combustion waste to seep out of the flue.

Once the flue stops functioning properly, smoke, soot and carbon monoxide leak into your house causing a lot of safety and health hazards for you and your family. Fortunately, we can repair your flue line with a high-quality chimney liner. Protect your home from harmful gases, heat and sparks leaking through the liner by having your chimney flue relined.

The chimney liner we lay out creates and maintains a proper draft of gaseous fumes upwards and outwards, increasing the chimney system's efficiency. Save your home from toxic fumes leaking out of your flue and call us for a flue relining service today!
