No part of your chimney system is more crucial to safe operation than the chimney liner. Even the slightest trouble with the liner can lead to serious problems for your chimney and your Norwalk, CT, home.
National Chimney Cleaners provides expert chimney liner repair and relining services throughout Norwalk, CT, and all of Fairfield County, CT.
National Chimney Cleaners addresses all types of chimney liner issues for our customers in Norwalk, CT. Our job is to assess the current condition of the liner and then make repairs, when feasible, or reline the flue with a strong new liner.
When approaching a chimney relining project, we have two options:
This is a good option when replacing a damaged stainless steel liner and certain tile and poured liners. We’ll ensure the new liner is sized correctly for your fireplace to ensure efficient drafting.
Stainless steel liners have long lifespans and provide outstanding protection for chimneys and homes.
The FireGuard ceramic resurfacing and joint repair system is the right option for many chimneys in the Norwalk, CT, area, particularly those with clay tile and poured chimney liners.
Essentially, FireGuard is a coating that does a superior job at patching holes and cracks by using vibrations to send the material deep into surface breaks. This system is great for repairing major and minor damage.
If a liner has begun to crack, split, or fall away from the rest of the chimney, the results can be devastating.
An opening in the liner will allow intense heat to escape and begin drying out nearby materials of the home. This sets the stage for a dangerous house fire.
Carbon monoxide is an invisible and odorless gas that’s created during fires. A damaged chimney liner can allow it to escape into the living spaces of your Norwalk, CT, home.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to upper respiratory symptoms, dizziness, mental confusion, headaches, and even death.
Jagged or broken sections of a chimney liner are ideal places for creosote to accumulate and reach a hazardous level. Ignited creosote is the #1 cause of reported chimney fires each year in Norwalk, CT, and Fairfield County, CT.
A professional chimney inspection is the only way to know the exact condition of your chimney liner. If we spot any signs of liner damage, we’ll explain the problem to you and recommend the best way to fix it.
A basic Level 1 chimney inspection should be performed at least once a year, regardless of whether you suspect a problem with the chimney. Emergency inspections can be scheduled as soon as you notice signs of damage or malfunction.
If it’s time to have your chimney liner inspected, repaired, or replaced, it’s time to call National Chimney Cleaners. You can reach a chimney expert by phone or through our contact form.
