• All types of stainless steel lining systems-  when the terra cotta flue of your chimney has cracks or spalling issues it is similar to a straw having a hole in it, which can create drafting issues and worse, poses a safety hazard. In today’s industry we offer the best lining system for your particular problem. 

• Flashing Repairs - more times than not, you don’t know you have a leak until it’s too late! Water everywhere and at the very least stained ceiling. When you have us out for a routine sweep, an inspection of the outside structure including your flashing is done to make sure everything is where it should be and doing its job right.

• Installation of flue caps custom and standard - capping your flue eliminates you from ever having to call us to come out to remove a noise coming from your fireplace or worse a putrid smell coming from the fireplace. Squirrels birds and other little critters like to be warm during those cold winter days and will find any way to stay warm.  Also having your flue capped will prevent unwanted moisture to enter the flue creating costly repairs down the road.

When the crown of a chimney is not pitched properly it allows any moister to work its way into the structure. Custom stainless steel chase tops are another form of a crown.

Chase Tops are typically found on prefab chimneys and if they are not constructed of stainless steel they will rust and create ugly staining down the side of the chimney. The rust will also cause pitting in the metal and will allow moisture into the structure of the chimney causing mold and rot.

A flue lining in a masonry chimney is a clay terracotta or metal conduit installed inside a chimney. This system is intended to contain the combustion by products of your appliance and direct them safely to the outside atmosphere and at the same time protects the walls of the chimney.

The 3 main functions of a chimney liner:

1. The lining system protects the chimney walls from corrosive by products of your appliances. Tests have shown when the acidic vapors are not contained inside the flue of the chimney, those same harmful vapors penetrate into the brick and mortar joints, creating an unstable chimney. As the mortar joints erode, heat transfers more rapidly to any near combustibles and also allows for harmful gases such as carbon monoxide leak into the living space of your home.
2. Lining systems protect your home from the heat transfer to combustibles surrounding the chimney. Making sure your lining system is safe and is still working at its highest level will assure you that your loved ones are safe and one of your biggest investments is not in danger of any smoke or fire damage.
3. Lining systems provide a proper sized flue for optimum efficiency of all appliances. Up to date wood stoves and gas or oil furnace systems require a correctly sized flue to perform properly. The lining system is not only responsible for removing toxic gases and water vapors but also creates the necessary draft that the appliance needs to work at the most efficient level. An incorrectly sized liner can lead to excessive creosote buildup in wood burning stoves and can cause serious health risks and effect the performance of your furnace.

The flue of a chimney is essential. It is a highway for toxic vapors and gases to travel safely out of your home. When the flue is built improperly or has deteriorated from time it poses a safety hazard to your loved ones and home.

​Relining the flue with a stainless steel lining system eliminates any threat of harm to your loved ones or home.
