FAQ
What is flue relining and why is it necessary?
Flue relining involves installing a new lining inside your chimney’s flue to restore its safety and functionality. It is necessary when the existing liner is damaged, deteriorated, or not up to current safety standards, which can prevent proper ventilation and increase the risk of chimney fires.
How do I know if my chimney needs relining?
Signs that your chimney may need relining include visible cracks in the chimney liner, crumbling mortar, poor draft, smoke entering your home, or a chimney inspection indicating liner damage. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify these issues early.
What materials are used for flue relining?
Common materials used for flue relining include stainless steel, clay tiles, and cast-in-place liners. Stainless steel liners are popular for their durability and versatility, while clay tiles are traditional and cost-effective. Cast-in-place liners provide a seamless, heat-resistant surface.
How long does the flue relining process take?
The flue relining process typically takes one to two days, depending on the complexity of the chimney system and the extent of the damage. Our team will assess your specific situation and provide a more accurate timeline during the initial consultation.
Can I use my fireplace immediately after relining?
Yes, once the flue relining is complete and inspected, you can safely use your fireplace. Our technicians will ensure that everything is properly installed and functioning before giving the go-ahead for use.
How often should I have my chimney inspected after relining?
It’s recommended to have your chimney inspected at least once a year, even after relining. Regular inspections help maintain the safety and efficiency of your chimney system by identifying any potential issues early on.
