Do I Need a Chimney Liner?

Chimney Liners in Lawrenceville NJ are actually a very critical part of every chimney. In fireplaces that burn gas, oil or solid fuels, a liner helps guide the combustion by-products out and away from the chimney.

Before the 1940's, homes were typically built without a chimney liner and as a result, chimney and house fires were much more commonplace. A liner provides extra protection to the interior of the chimney and helps guide the gases and particles up and out of the structure. 

There are a few reasons why you may need a new liner. If your chimney currently doesn't have one, if it was installed improperly or if it is deteriorating or defective in some way, you need a new chimney liner.
