There was a time when a chimney could be constructed without an internal liner. Today, and for the past several decades, chimney liners are required by law to be added to all new chimney builds.

As years go by, even the best chimney liner may begin to suffer various types of damage. This is dangerous and needs to be addressed.

Here’s what you should know about your chimney liner.

How to Tell if Chimney Relining is Necessary

Depending on the type of liner you have at your Chattanooga home – clay tile, stainless steel, aluminum, cast-in-place compound – you may spot signs of damage. Watch for:

• Pieces of clay tiles littering the floor of your firebox following water damage or freeze-thaw cycles
• Unpleasant odors coming from the fireplace caused by excess creosote trapped in damaged areas of the liner
• Toxic gases moving into your home because of breaks in the liner’s surface

Chattanooga Chimney Inspections

Getting to the bottom of chimney issues and determining if chimney relining is necessary starts with a thorough inspection. The Chimney Solutions crew uses advanced video imaging technology to see down into your flue and examine the condition of your chimney liner.

While you may be able to notice certain signs that point toward a liner problem, our technicians can look at the whole system and spot even the earliest evidence of damage and deterioration.

Why Your Chimney Liner Matters

The job of a chimney liner is to provide a smooth and properly sized passage for smoke and toxic gases to move out of the fireplace and flow up to the outside air.

Whether it’s a metal, aluminum, cast-in-place or clay tile liner, damage can lead to serious problems, including:

• A fire fueled by combustible home materials just beyond the liner
• Ongoing water damage to walls, ceilings and attics
• Carbon monoxide poisoning to people and pets
• Chimney fires due to excess creosote buildup

Chimney Relining the Right Way

When our crew performs chimney relining services in and around Chattanooga, our customers know they’re getting professional work from trained experts.

In most cases, we recommend strong new stainless steel liners to replace any of the common types of chimney liners mentioned above. Chimney relining with stainless steel guarantees outstanding performance, amazing durability and long life.

But we won’t just show up and throw in a new liner. We’ll first determine the optimal liner dimensions that will allow your fireplace to draft with very high efficiency. It’s critical that your chimney liner be the correct size for your fireplace and chimney height.
