Every part of your chimney is essential for ensuring that it works properly. Your chimney dispels harmful gasses from your fireplace or wood stove out of your home.
A chimney flue is a metal, ceramic, or clay conduit found inside your chimney, which contains highly flammable byproducts and directs it outside. If you have a masonry chimney, your chimney flue or chimney lining protects your chimney walls from corrosion and heat these combustive products might cause.
A chimney flue lining offers:
Just like any other part of your chimney, a chimney flue lining also plays an important part in ensuring that your chimney works well, like your mortar joint job, chimney flashing, and any other part.
Even if your chimney is still working relatively well, keeping your chimney flue in its best condition is still necessary for venting out toxic gasses and taking care of your chimney. If left damaged or neglected, a simple chimney lining concern progresses into bigger problems like:

Chimney Genie has been rendering different chimney services for every household and establishment on Long Island for over 20 years, from providing flue liner and other chimney repairs to chimney cleaning and inspections.
You must seek chimney repair services immediately if you've noticed cracks on your chimney flue tiles. Immediate repair and regular maintenance not only ensure the optimal performance of your chimney. It also reduces the risks in your home significantly. These cracks might allow the toxic gasses to seep back into your home or allow creosote to build up outside your flue liner. Creosote is also flammable, so it can be a fire hazard in your home or establishment.
Clay tiles on chimney masonry can also become damaged due to the weather and poor construction. Our chimney experts at Chimney Genie will also inspect its inside lining to check for spalling. Spalling happens when the lining inside your clay crumbles from the inside out due to getting into contact with corrosive chemicals and moisture.
For your chimney tile repairs, our chimney repair crew will replace broken chimney bricks. Chimney Genie will also provide a thorough inspection to assess the damages to your chimney flue tiles. If they involve a significant part of the flue, we might perform a more expensive chimney liner repair.
A broken lining might need a more thorough chimney repair to ensure there's no chimney leak and it works efficiently. Damaged flue linings might not be fixed by patching off mortar joints or replacing bricks alone. You might want to address the root cause of the damage.
Chimney Genie first conducts chimney inspections to assess chimney damage and do the necessary measures for fixing it. It might require intensive work of creating a chimney liner mold and stuffing cement around the gaps. An inflatable mold will be placed down your chimney and install spacers between this mold and the old chimney flue liner.
The Chimney Genie crew will pour a special cement and leave it to dry. Once dry, the mold will deflate, leaving you with a brand new chimney flue.
The mortar joint is one of the things to check during chimney inspections, even if you've already suspected a chimney flue lining damage. A mortar joint is what binds the bricks, providing structural integrity and chimney leak prevention.
Mortar joints can become damaged and erode due to aging and wear and tear. This will cause the development of large gaps or holes between each brick. Your mortar joint can also crumble and eventually fall off due to excessive heat, moisture, and contact with chemicals. For damaged mortar joints, our chimney restoration crew will apply more mortar to the gaps, sealing off leaks and holes.
The Chimney Genie crew is committed to providing customers with immense relief and satisfaction from having their chimney lining finally fixed. We also offer other chimney services, such as chimney cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, regular chimney inspections, and more.
Chimney flue damage is one of the common problems our crew faces during chimney restoration services. There are several reasons why your chimney flue becomes damaged:
You'll never know when your chimney damper, flue lining, clay tile, or any other part of your chimney will become damaged due to these circumstances. Because of this, Chimney Genie renders a comprehensive chimney service to address your every concern. We also offer regular chimney inspections and cleaning to ensure your chimney is in its top shape.
It's necessary to address problems right away about every part of your chimney once you've spotted it, like concerns about your flue tile, chimney crown, chimney cap, and more. This will avoid piling up the damages that will cause you a more hefty chimney repair cost, which might even lead to chimney rebuilding.
