You may not have put much thought into servicing your chimney before, but a deteriorating chimney can pose serious health risks and safety hazards for you and your family.
When chimneys don’t get the regular maintenance they require, areas can crack or collapse over time, seeping dangerous gasses into your home.
Chimney lining is necessary when your chimney or old chimney lining is deteriorated, cracked, or otherwise unable to properly vent smoke and gasses from your home.
The lining of your chimney is a non-combustible barrier that channels the gasses, smoke, and other particles made by your furnace, stove, or fireplace away from your home. This lining is separate from your chimney and can be made from materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, or clay tiles.

From the moment I met Josh I knew I could trust this company. He was very patient and explained everything easily. The team came on time. They worked so hard to get my new AC on my old furnace. It was a challenging job but they stayed positive and never discouraged me.

I have used Lynn's services since I bought my home in 2006. This fall my gas furnace died. It was very stressful but they worked with me and installed my new unit under their quoted price and in a very timely manner.

The technician was very courteous, he removed his shoes when coming in and and cleaned up everything after he was finished working. He answered all of my questions and made sure we were happy with our faucet before he left. 10/10 service.

At least once a year, experienced and certified chimney professionals recommend that you inspect your chimney liner for cracks or holes. You should also have the liner “swept” by a professional to make sure no blockages are present. If any damage is present, depending on the extent of it, you may need to replace the liner.
If you notice any cracks, gaps, or holes in the liner of your chimney, you should have a professional inspect it. If left unchecked and not repaired immediately, the damage can spread and cause further problems with your chimney.
Additionally, if you notice smoke billowing out through multiple places while the fire is burning, this could be another indication that you may need a new liner. If the smoke smells like burning plastic or rubber, this is an even bigger sign that you may need to replace your chimney liner.
If you notice any of the warning signs mentioned above, it’s important to have a professional inspect it as soon as possible. A chimney technician can help determine if your liner is damaged or needs to be replaced.
They will also be able to provide advice on the best type of liner for your chimney and advise what steps should be taken in order to ensure your safety. It’s important to get this taken care of as soon as you notice any signs that may suggest your liner needs to be replaced in order to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of your home.
Also, if you have recently had a chimney fire, it is always recommended to replace your chimney liner regardless of whether or not you are experiencing any of the warning signs. If your liner has been subjected to a chimney fire, it is likely that the damage may have already occurred, and replacing it will be necessary for your safety.
When deciding whether or not to replace your chimney liner, consider if it is more than 10 years old, as this is when most types of liners begin to deteriorate or become unsafe. If you have any doubts, it is recommended that you speak with a professional chimney service in order to get an expert opinion. They will be able to inspect your liner and determine if it needs to be replaced.
Yes, you should consider replacing your chimney liner when making any changes to your heating system or switching fuel types. Your chimney needs to be able to safely exhaust the new type of combustion gases from your home, and a new liner may be necessary for this.
It is also important to keep in mind that some newer systems create more condensation than older models, which can cause corrosion to the liner. A professional chimney service will be able to inspect your liner and advise you on whether or not it needs to be replaced.
