Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Ways to Mend Damage in a Chimney Liner by a Professional Chimney Sweep
Chimney liners are very important part in the total operation of the chimneys. The main purpose is to release the hot gases that are formed into the atmosphere. The size of the liner is very important. If the size is too small the gases won't be released in the atmosphere and your home will be full of smoke. Incase it's too large then creosote which is one of the main causes of chimney fire would be formed on the liner. Thus it is very important that the right size of chimney liner is chosen.

Chimney liners can be of various types and the one that you use depend upon how much you are prepared to spend on it. Mostly chimney liners are either formed of clay, cast in place liners or metal liners usually made of aluminum or steel. The most common, readily available and inexpensive are clay tiles. However it has its own disadvantages. Since it is a ceramic product, due to the rapid rise in temperature and the fact that the temperature can't be absorbed so quickly might result in cracks in the liners. Metal chimneys on the other hand if installed properly are extremely durable and safe to use. And metal liners are mostly used when a chimney is being upgraded or repaired. Cast in place are another alternative which are lightweight. It is cement like product that is installed for the smooth passage of the gases.

Cracks in the chimney liners can happen because of many reasons. The most common one being getting over heated. It can even cause the chimney to catch fire. Once any crack is detected it is important to get it repaired on an urgent basis. The method to repair the crack may vary depending on the number of cracks that has taken place. For this help of a professional is must. In case of several cracks in the flue but without any missing tiles, in such case the chimney is smoothened using new mortar that will seep into any voids or cracks. Usually foam is pulled upward using a winch after the mortar is poured. Due to the fact that the foam is fitted tightly to the different areas of the flue, the mortar get spread evenly sealing any cracks that might have happen in the tiles.

If the tiles are cracked seriously and even have some of them missing then, cast in place liner can be considered for use. In this process mortar is used to fill the sides of the flue and is poured from the top after which it is labeled using a stainless steel box to give it a stable, crack free and smooth liner. This type of liner is durable provided it is used properly.

Another most effective and widely used method is to use stainless steel liner for repairing the cracks. Without removing or breaking the old tiles, a stainless steel liner does a good job of repairing or covering any cracks. Because of one piece nature of the liner, no cracks can be missed and it won't get damaged easily.

Chimney sweep professionals are extremely experienced in their jobs. When called for servicing, they inspect your chimney thoroughly and can suggest how to get the liner repaired in case of any cracks.
