Have You Maintained Your Chimney Liner Today?

When it comes to critical parts of your chimney system, the chimney liners in Hopewell NJ are one of the most important features.Their job is to make sure that the walls of the flue are properly sealed and lined so that smoke can't leak out. If smoke does escape the liner through a crack, the structure of your masonry can be negatively impacted.

The longevity of your chimney liner depends on a few factors, but it mainly has to do with the material that the liner is made out of. See below for a breakdown of each:

• Clay liners break easily, and are no longer commonly used in new chimneys
• Metal liners last a very long time, unless they were made with alloy

Contact a professional chimney sweep to have your liner inspected. They can tell you if your flue lining needs replacement or repair.
