What Is Chimney Relining? And Why it is So Important?
A chimney flue is the pipe inside the chimney. It carries smoke and gases from your fireplace up and out of your home. The flue liner is the protective layer inside this pipe. It keeps heat from damaging the chimney walls and prevents gases from leaking into your home. It helps your fireplace draft properly.
When the liner cracks or deteriorates, problems start. Heat escapes into your chimney structure. Combustion gases enter your living space. Your fireplace stops pulling air correctly. Smoke backs up into the home.
DFW homeowners need relining for many reasons. Older Arlington and Dallas homes have clay liners that crack after decades of use. Plano chimneys with years of creosote buildup show liner damage. Frisco’s factory-built systems sometimes need replacement liners, too.
