Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Cracks in Chimney liner: What causes them and how to I fix them?
Chimney liner is a very vital part that keeps the fireplace running smoothly. It's often meant to expel hot flue gases to the outer atmosphere. It's always good to have the liner in moderate size. In most cases, gases will drop back into the home and cause smoking problem when the liner is too small. On the other hand, smoke will ooze out slowly up the chimney and cause excess creosote build-up when the liner is too large. Hence, it's always better to maintain a moderate size liner.

Meanwhile, one of the commonly problems found on chimney liner is the presence of cracks. It's important you know about the possible causes and how to fix them.

Causes of Cracks on Chimney Liner
There are possible causes of cracks on the chimney liner. First, cracks can occur when the fireplace is old or overused. Secondly, cracks can occur when the chimney mortar is damaged. Thirdly, excess build-up of creosote and soot can also cause cracks on the liner. Moreover, cracks can occur when the chimney is not sweep or cleaned regularly.

Fixing a cracked chimney liner
There are 3 options to engage when thinking of fixing a cracked chimney liner. Let's examine them.
  • Repair the liner: It's only possible to repair a cracked liner when there are little cracks noticed. You simply need to patch them up. You can also engage an expert chimney repair to carry out the necessary repairs. The expert will use the right instrument to fix the liner.
  • Remove the liner: The second option is to remove the liner entirely. This is often recommended where there are excess cracks on the liner. You simply need to use the right tools to remove the liner from the chimney. You may not be able to handle this if you're not an expert. You can save yourself the troubles by engaging an expert chimney repairer to help you out.
  • Replace the liner: Replacing the liner is highly recommended! This is the best approach that will forestall the challenges that come with cracked chimney liner. The process of replacement involves breaking the old liner and reinstalling a new one.
To carry out the liner replacement process, the type of chimney involved is often considered. If you're using a masonry chimney, the liner is usually built with terra cotta. Other types of chimneys also have specific materials used in building their liners. This must be considered when trying to replace the liner.

In all, the best approach to take when you notice cracks on the chimney liner is to call an expert chimney repairer. He will take out time to check the liner. He will also repair or replace it accordingly. You don't have to spend much to get this done.
