What’s the Purpose of My Chimney Liner?

Any time the subject of chimneys comes up, the subject of safety comes up right along with it. Undoubtedly, one of the most important safety elements in a chimney is the chimney liner. A strong liner that’s in good repair will shield vulnerable areas of your chimney and home from intense heat. 

On the flip side, chimney liners that are cracked, split or otherwise compromised are unsafe, and the fireplaces connected with them should not be used until the liners are repaired or replaced.

We’re proud to provide professional chimney liner replacement and repair services for our customer base. If you’re at all concerned about the condition of your flue, or if your last inspection revealed some major issues, make us your trusted crew for repairs and servicing.

How Can I Know if My Chimney Liner Is Damaged?

The only way to know for sure where your chimney liner stands is to book regular inspections with a professional chimney sweep. Techs, like us, have the tools and technology to get an up close look at your chimney interior to see if it’s in good shape or not.

That said, there are a few things to watch for in the meantime. If you have a clay liner, as many older homes do, you might notice clay chips or entire tiles inside your firebox. That’s a clear sign of a problem. In addition, depending on the nature of the damage, chimney liners can collect excess creosote and soot, leading to a foul odor coming from the firebox. Drafting problems also can occur in this scenario.

Unfortunately, though, in most cases, it’s not easy for the average homeowner to assess the condition of a chimney liner. So, if it’s been more than a year since you’ve had a thorough chimney inspection, call SureGlow today for a complete overview.

When Might a New Chimney Liner Might Be Needed?

Every chimney is different, and it takes a technician with specialized training and experience to be able to inspect a chimney liner and make recommendations based on its condition. Because chimney liners are one of the most important safety features of any chimney system, you should only work with technicians who carry top-level industry certifications.

Here are some of the reasons our experts might recommend a new chimney liner:

  • There’s deteriorating clay mortar in the current liner system.
  • There are cracks in the tiles of a clay chimney liner.
  • Gaps are appearing between tiles.
  • We spot damage from water, fire, normal house settling, or lightning.
  • The chimney has no liner at all (more common in older homes).
  • A new appliance is being added or a conversion (from wood to gas fuel, for example) is being made.

Moderate damage to the liner can be repaired, in some cases. In other cases, especially if your liner is very old, we’re going to recommend a new chimney liner installation to ensure many years of safer fireplace operation. Whether you have a clay, cast-in-place, or metal chimney liner, the system eventually can become unsound after years of use, or due to constant moisture exposure, a chimney fire, or some other hazardous event.

If it’s time to take a close look at your chimney liner, SureGlow’s certified chimney experts are standing by. We perform chimney liner replacement and repair, as well as full-scale chimney cleanings, chimney repair/rebuilding, and stove and fireplace installation. Give us a call with questions or to schedule an appointment.

While primarily a residential area, Mission Hills still has some attractions to see, as well as community events to attend. For instance, the Mission Hills Country Club features an 18-hole golf course, and the city hosts various fun events, such as street fairs and concerts at Verona Columns Park.

Then, there’s nearby attractions, such as Loose Park, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden, and the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium.

Is HeatShield Chimney Liner Resurfacing Right for You?

If your current chimney liner is in poor condition, but you are concerned about the expense of a new liner, we have an alternative option, thanks to a product called HeatShield Cerfractory Sealant. HeatShield is a chimney liner repair system that can be used to repair gaps, cracks and spalling in chimneys that are still structurally sound and viable for continued use.

HeatShield methods use a hybrid ceramic/refractory coating that can withstand moisture, corrosive gases, and extremely high temperatures. It is also an environmentally-friendly product, as it is manufactured from recycled and natural materials.

This method of chimney repair has been used in Europe for decades, and it has gained popularity in the U.S. in recent decades. Why? Because it allows you to repair the liner without removing the clay tiles – which can be an expensive and destructive process. In addition, installing a HeatShield takes about half the time and allows you to keep the clay tiles intact. Overall, the HeatShield process is much less labor intensive and easier on your chimney structure.

The SureGlow team has factory-trained HeatShield installers, ready to help you out. With this system, you can rest assured that your chimney is safer and operating more efficiently. Call today, so that we can evaluate your chimney and let you know if HeatShield is right for your home.
