If You Need Your Flue Relined, SirVent Can Help

It can be quite difficult to determine if your chimney needs to be relined without the help of a professional. Without professional tools and knowledge, you’re just relying on the naked eye and guesswork. But our technicians have video scanning equipment and can snake the camera into your chimney for a close-up look. We use this equipment every time we perform a chimney inspection, so if you’re having regular inspections, you’ll know the condition of your liner and whether or not it’s time to consider relining.

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON REASONS FOR RELINING?

There are many reasons to reline your chimney – here are some of the most common ones:

• Your clay tile liner is cracked, crumbling, and no longer able to safely do its job.
• You’re changing the type of fuel you burn.
• You’re changing the size or type of appliance.
• Your metal flue liner is rusted and riddled with holes.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Most chimney liners are constructed of either terra cotta clay tiles or some type of metal, typically aluminum or stainless steel. Not all liner materials are designed to exhaust all appliance types or all fuel types, so the type of liner that you end up having will depend on these factors.

Stainless steel liners are a favorite because they offer unparalleled durability and can be used with any fuel type. This is great news if you’re considering changing fuel types in the future but need a new liner now.
