As these byproducts are produced, the chimney liner encourages them to exit the chimney and keeps them from seeping through the masonry and back into the home. Over time, creosote, water, and even animals can cause serious damage to the chimney liner, putting your family at risk. Chimney lining is a critical element in the safe and efficient operation of every household chimney. Many houses from before the 1940’s did not have chimny liners, and as a result, house fires were much more common. Chimney liners provide extra protection to to surrounding combustables, such as woodwork, from heat transfer. When you have a damaged or deteriorating chimney liner, or if you simply don’t have a chimney liner at all (which is common in older homes), you are at risk of experiencing: Draft problems Smoke problems Carbon Monoxide problems Fireplace inefficiency SPECIALIZING IN CHIMNEY STAINLESS STEEL RELINING! When chimney professionals began lining chimneys — those liners were mainly made of terra cotta clay tiles. Clay served its chimney-lining purpose well, holding up well against the effects of heat and the byproducts of fireplaces. But it does have its drawbacks. It’s common for the mortar joints between clay liner tiles to crack or erode, leaving gaps that undermine the chimney’s ability to create and sustain proper draft, and allowing the heat to the chimney masonry. And while terra cotta holds up relatively well against high heat, it has its limits — if even a small amount of creosote ignites and then extinguishes, odds are the clay tiles will develop vertical cracks that will make relining the flue a necessity.
