Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Describe How a Professional Chimney Sweep Fixes Cracks in the Chimney Liner?

There are a few reasons why a chimney liner can come across cracks. Constant use of the chimney, improper maintenance, interference of water and harsh weather are the prime causes due to which cracks can appear on the chimney liner. And once these cracks start to appear, you should go for a repair or replacement work. However, this is often decided by a chimney sweep whether the chimney liner needs a repair or a replacement. If the cracks are in worse stage, then the liner needs to be removed completely and replaced with a new one. And when it's all about fixing the cracks in the chimney liner, hiring a professional chimney sweep can come in handy. These professionals are equipped with right kind of tools and equipments that are helpful in fixing those cracks properly. Most of the time chimney liners made of clay tiles can come across this type of issue. Well, these tiles can be replaced with the new ones and that seems to be a perfect option.

If you have a chimney liner that is made of metal like stainless steel, then with time it can come across stains and rust. This can lead the way for cracks if you have not taken proper care to remove stains and rust. In that case, you can replace the metal liner completely and get a new one to install it once again in the chimney. You can also find cast-in-place like chimney liner which are lightweight. These products are just like cement and can be assigned for the inside of the chimney easily. Liners in the chimneys serve 3 main functions:

Liner protects house from the heat transfer to the combustibles. Liners protect masonry from corrosive byproducts of the combustion. It was determined in the test that if flue gases penetrated to brick and mortar, result will be the reduction in usable life of chimney. Flue gases are very acidic in nature & eat away at mortar joints inside chimney. As mortar joints erode, and heat transfers very rapidly to nearby combustibles & dangerous gases like carbon monoxide will leak in your home. Liners give rightly sized flue for the best efficiency of the appliances. The modern stoves and oil or gas furnaces need rightly sized flue in order to perform it rightly. Chimney is liable for not just allowing products of combustion passage out of house, however draft generated by chimney supplies combustion air in its appliance. The incorrectly sized liner will lead to the excessive creosote buildup at wood burning stoves, and production of the carbon monoxide with the conventional fuels.

Clay tiles are most common kind of the masonry chimney liners. They're inexpensive, easily available, and perform very well for the open fireplace chimneys, which are maintained properly. There're two disadvantages of clay tiles. First is, being ceramic product, they can't absorb and distribute heat rapidly during fast temperature rise that happens during chimney fire. The uneven heating makes unequal expansion that in turn causes flue tiles to split and crack apart.
