Chimney Relining
What is a Chimney Liner?
Majority of chimneys are made out of stone or brick. As a result, chimneys are not flammable. However, wood which is part of your building material around your chimney isn’t that tough. There’s a high chance of a fire if too much heat escapes from your chimney and finds its way to the walls around it. To prevent this sort of thing from happening, chimney liners are designed. Chimney liners play the role as a conduit which protects the walls of your home and chimney while together ensuring combustibles are removed from the chimney.

Whenever you start a fire at your fireplace the smoke goes out your chimney and leaves behind the byproducts of combustion. If there’s no prevention of these gases, they eat away at brick and the lifespan of your chimney is shortened. Chimney liners are there to extend the life of your chimney.
