What Is a Chimney Liner?

There’s a lot that goes into making sure your chimney system operates efficiently and optimally – and many components that need to be in optimal shape to get the job done. Chimney liners help to protect the inner walls of your chimney from harsh temperatures and corrosive fumes created when you burn a fire.

There are numerous of reasons why you might be due for a chimney relining: you live in an old home with a system that was built before liners were required by code, you’ve noticed (or been informed by a professional chimney sweep) that your existing liner is cracked, your chimney isn’t ventilating the smoke as efficiently as it once was…the list continues. The one thing these things all have in common is the need for swift chimney repair and relining services.

Fortunately, SureGlow Stove & Chimney is here for all your chimney relining needs. Schedule your service today by calling us or reaching out through our website.

What Should I Do if I Have a Chimney Leak?

If you suspect that you have a chimney leak, the first step is to give SureGlow Stove & Chimney a call, so that one of our CSIA-certified technicians can come out for a chimney inspection.

During the inspection, the technician will carefully assess your chimney for signs of water penetration and water damage. If they see any indications of water damage, they will rely on their years of training and hands-on experience to pinpoint entry points and provide a plan to take care of the problem.

Based on our technicians’ findings, possible remedial recommendations can include:

Waterproofing
A new chimney cap
A chase cover or crown repair/replacement
Flashing repair or replacement
Tuckpointing or other masonry repairs

Is There Any Way To Prevent Chimney Leaks?

Yes, there is. Waterproofing is a great way to help fight against water damage, but, like with any chimney maintenance, just one service alone can’t do it all. The good news is that there are other precautions you can take in addition to waterproofing to protect your property from chimney leaks. Things like…

Invest in a good chimney cap. Without a quality chimney cap at the top, the flue is unprotected against water penetration and leaks. Chimney caps help prevent rain, snow, animals, and other debris from getting into your chimney. These are relatively inexpensive and quick to install, but it is important that they are sized properly and made of corrosion-resistant materials.
Ensure your flashing is properly installed. Chimney flashing is found at the point where your chimney and roof meet – a spot known for being vulnerable to water leaks and damage. Its primary purpose is to create a waterproof seal that protects your interior walls and chimney from water penetration.
Invest in brick and mortar repairs promptly. Chipped or deteriorating mortar and brickwork usually indicates that your chimney has been affected by water damage and is deteriorating as a result. Repairing your masonry with brick replacement services and tuckpointing is a must for ensuring everything stays structurally sound.
Book chimney crown or chase cover maintenance. A properly functioning chimney crown or chase cover protects against water damage by keeping your interior protected and by pushing water away from the sides of your chimney or chase. Any early signs of deterioration or weather-related damage should be addressed right away.
Have a chimney cricket installed. If your chimney is 30 inches or more wide, you should look into installing a chimney cricket. The purpose of the cricket is to prevent water from pooling around the flashing or chimney base. A cricket will help redirect the water away from your chimney and roof’s intersection and deflect it off of the roof.

If you’re experiencing leak-related issues throughout your chimney or fireplace, the best course of action is to call us in, so we know where to start with repairs, installation services, and further maintenance. Reach out soon – we’re here for you.
