Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does a professional chimney sweep repair a chimney liner?
Defective or damaged chimney liners remain the leading cause of chimney fires. Old chimneys don't even have a safe lining, and need to be replaced with a new lining that would provide relatively more safety. Repairing a chimney lining or completely replacing it would be the ideal solution to a living threatened by a damaged chimney liner.

The Law about Chimney Liners
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) mandates all masonry chimneys to have a liner. Their rules say that chimneys that burn solid fuels ought to be inspected and cleaned yearly or as often as required. Regular maintenance ensures that deadly gases resulting from the combustion of solid fuel like coal and wood find their way out of the house. They also prevent chimney fires resulting from the buildup of creosote.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) rules ordain a replacement of chimney liners if cracks are discovered in the present liner, if it is broken, or it is missing. A broken or damaged liner could result in gases flowing in the house down the flue. A damaged or a broken chimney liner could also result in excessive heating of combustible material near the chimney. The damage could give way to severe losses in all cases.

Repairing a flue liner involves replacing it entirely with a new one. This works out to be quite an economical option, because continuing with the damaged one, even after some treatments with plaster, would never restore the lost glory. It would rather be a safety hazard for everyone. The clay tiles on a clay liner should always be replaced with a stainless steel one. Stainless steel works out to be more durable as compared to clay, and the overall cost comes out to be the same.

The original flue liner made of clay might as well be replaced with a stainless steel relining pipe. The pipe must be made of insulated stainless steel and inserted in your chimney. Don't try doing it yourself, although this might sound simple. It involves some complicated steps, and requires a professional.

Replacing the flue liner would be an inexpensive option to building it all over again. The overall size of your chimney would determine the final cost. If the chimney is a long one, or requires other forms of repair before a new liner could find itself in it, the cost is bound to go up. A professional well-versed in the art of chimney-liners is the only person who could give you a precise estimate.

Always go for professional help whenever you want a flue liner repaired. They are the ones who are armed with all the necessary information on how to do it, and how to do it according to the law. Doing it yourself could prove to be dangerous as you may not have the necessary tools or knowledge or experience.

Before you begin with this process, you should conduct an inspection of the chimney liner. This is possible by climbing up the roof, and looking down the chimney. If only bricks are seen, the chimney does not have a liner. If you see some clay tiles when you look down the chimney, your chimney does have a clay liner.
