What is Chimney Relining?
Chimney relining involves installing or replacing a liner inside your chimney flue to protect your home from heat and smoke damage. In many southern homes, chimneys are constructed without interior liners, leaving exposed brick. When selling a home, many city inspections require chimney liners for safety and code compliance.
We use a high-heat, ceramic-based mortar called SmokTite, applied through a spray-in process. This method creates a protective coating about ½ inch thick, sealing cracks and gaps to prevent heat, smoke, and gases from escaping into your attic or walls. The relining also improves the efficiency of your fireplace and ensures it meets local inspection standards.
Why is Chimney Relining Important?
Chimney relining is essential for several reasons:
- Fire Safety: Without a proper liner, heat from the fireplace can penetrate the chimney walls, increasing the risk of fire. A liner acts as a barrier, containing heat and smoke within the flue.
- Gas Containment: A damaged or missing liner can allow dangerous gases like carbon monoxide to seep into your home. Chimney relining prevents these gases from escaping, ensuring the safety of your household.
- Code Compliance: Many cities require a chimney liner to meet modern building codes, especially during a home sale. A properly installed liner ensures your chimney is safe and compliant with regulations.
- Efficiency: A properly lined chimney enhances the draft, improving the performance of your fireplace or heating appliance.
Our Chimney Relining Process
At The Chimney Sweep, we follow a systematic process to ensure your chimney is relined safely and efficiently:
- Inspection: We begin with a detailed inspection to assess any existing damage.
- Cleaning: We clean the chimney to remove soot and prepare the surface for relining.
- SmokTite Application: We apply the SmokTite mortar in a ½ inch thick coating from top to bottom, sealing any cracks or gaps.
- Final Inspection: After the application, we conduct a final check to ensure the liner is secure and safe for use.
Cost of Chimney Relining
The cost to reline a chimney varies based on the type of liner and the size of the chimney. Using SmokTite offers a faster and more affordable alternative compared to traditional liners.
Having an expert evaluate your chimney and provide an estimate is the best way to understand the potential costs for your situation.
