Our Experts Can Reline Your Chimney With a Dependable Stainless Steel Liner

When it comes to ensuring that your fireplace is operating safely and efficiently, the chimney liner does a lot of work. First of all, it protects your home from the heat and high temperatures your fires produce. Without a liner in place, your adjacent woodwork could ignite – sometimes in a matter of hours.

Your liner also helps prevent your brickwork and mortar joints from breaking down and eroding. There are a lot of harmful and acidic fumes that make their way through your flue, and they can eat away at your masonry quite a bit over time. With a quality, damage-free liner in place, though, your masonry will stay protected from it all.

Finally, your liner helps with efficiency. When sized appropriately and correctly installed, it will safely guide gases and smoke up and out of your chimney and keep your system operating at peak performance levels. If things aren’t just right, though, you’ll notice creosote buildup, smoky fireplace issues, a higher risk of carbon monoxide exposure, and other potentially harmful and wasteful issues.

All of these reasons are why relining work isn’t something you ever want to put off. And it’s definitely not a job you want to leave to someone inexperienced or untrustworthy. If you’re concerned about your chimney liner, we’re the team to call. We’ve assisted numerous folks throughout Southern New Hampshire, and we’d be happy to help you next!

Why Does My Chimney Need Relining?

There are a few main reasons a relining may be in order. We get that hearing you need relining work done isn’t the news any chimney owner wants to hear, but once it’s done, you’ll be able to use your system with ease and peace of mind for decades! It’s a worthwhile investment and something you don’t want to put off.

The most common reasons for chimney relining work are:

Your chimney doesn’t have a liner. It sounds crazy, but some chimneys simply don’t have a liner to begin with! If your home is on the older side, there’s a chance the chimney isn’t lined at all, in which case you should have a liner installed immediately – and definitely before lighting any more fires.
Your liner was installed wrong initially. If you’re noticing condensation-related issues, smoky fireplace problems, excessive creosote buildup, or water damage, your liner may not be doing its job effectively. The same goes for cracking and crumbling throughout your masonry. These are all possible signs that something is wrong with the way your liner is installed, and the system should be inspected as soon as possible.
Your current liner is damaged. A correctly built or installed liner that is well maintained doesn’t tend to face much damage over time, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Clay tile liners will likely eventually face some wear and tear, and this can be time-consuming and costly to fix. In these cases, a stainless steel liner might be the easiest and most affordable option.

Why Stainless Steel?

So, why is stainless steel the recommended route?

Corrosion-Resistance: Stainless steel doesn’t corrode or rust, so you can count on long-lasting service and protection, no matter what. If you keep up with routine maintenance and cleaning, all of those corrosive byproducts your fireplace produces won’t do any harm to your liner, and they won’t be able to get near your masonry either.
Long-Lasting: Most stainless steel liners come with a lifetime warranty, so you can rest easier knowing you’ll get the protection you deserve for, well… a lifetime!
Works With All Fuel Types: Stainless steel is compatible with any fuel you choose to use, so if you think you may switch things up anytime in the future, this may be the best route to take. It’ll be a lot less hassle during the transition and one less thing you’ll have to think about.
Easy to Maintain: The smooth and seamless design of a stainless steel chimney liner makes it easier for sweeps to clean and maintain, which means less cost and stress for you.
Can Be Insulated: There are a couple of different ways you can insulate a stainless steel liner and, once done, you’ll notice less creosote accumulation since the gases coming through remain heated the whole way out. It’ll also help prevent those cold downdrafts when your system is not in use.
Affordable Protection: When it comes right down to it, stainless is one of the more affordable ways to effectively protect your home and chimney. If you’re looking to stay safer at a price that won’t break your budget, this is one of your better options.
Easy Installation Process: Rather than shelling out thousands for days of labor replacing clay tiles, have a stainless steel liner installed quickly – less cost, less hassle, and less stress.
