Chimney Relining |
|
One of the most practical and affordable ways to repair
deteriorated or damaged chimneys is to reline.
Chimneys can be damaged by a number of things such as
settling, hurricanes, tornados and lightning. We don't
have to worry much about hurricanes in Chicago, but the most
common form of chimney damage is a chimney fire. In
addition to chimney damage, older chimneys may be unlined or
their liners may be deteriorated to the point where relining
is warranted. |

Reasons to Reline
| 1. To repair damage to the chimney
as a result of fire, lightning strikes or settling,
etc.. |
| 2. To upgrade old chimneys which
were constructed without chimney liners. |
| 3. To replace worn, deteriorated
liners, which may be allowing smoke, creosote or
condensation to seep through the chimney walls. |
| 4. To properly size the chimney for
a new appliance such as converting from oil to gas
heat. |
| 5. To prevent excessive creosote
buildup (and risk of a chimney fire) when venting a
woodstove through an existing fireplace. |
