The lining of your chimney is one of the most important safety components of your entire fireplace system. Its job is to safely guide smoke, gases, and heat out of your home while protecting the inside of your chimney. Without a properly functioning liner, heat and corrosive byproducts from burning wood or gas can damage the masonry and even reach nearby combustible materials like framing in your walls or attic. A liner also helps your fireplace or appliance draft properly, improving efficiency and reducing the chances of smoke backing up into your home. Over time original clay flue tiles can crack, deteriorate, or become unsafe, which is why regular inspections are so important.
