Today we are showing several different instances we have seen lately where the clay tile liner has been compromised. Clay tile liners are the most common type of masonry chimney liners. These liners are inexpensive, readily available, and perform quite well for open fireplace chimneys that are properly maintained.
A disadvantage to these liners is that they cannot rapidly absorb and evenly distribute heat during the rapid temperature rise that occurs during a chimney fire. What this means is that the flue tiles will crack and split apart in a chimney fire, allowing heat to transfer to nearby combustibles.
Now is a great time to schedule a chimney inspection and cleaning! Our camera inspection equipment can see the entirety of your chimney, letting you know if there are any hidden dangers. Call today!
