Is Your Chimney in Need of Lining or Relining?
Older masonry chimneys, especially those built before 1940, often lack proper liners. If your fireplace is that old, installing a metal chimney liner is essential for safety. Even if your chimney has a liner, signs like strong odors or smoke backing up into your space could mean it is time for a replacement. Cracked clay tile liners or corroded metal liners can compromise your chimney’s performance and safety. Do not ignore these warning signs, have your chimney inspected by a professional to ensure it is secure and functioning properly.
