Some Of The Most Relevant Reasons Why You Might Want To Reline Your Chimney

Some Of The Most Relevant Reasons Why You Might Want To Reline Your Chimney It is often the case that you’ll only have to reline your chimney once maybe twice in your lifetime as these liners mostly come in two categories, a 10-year liner, and a 25-year liner. The main difference between the two kinds of liners is that the one consists of 904-grade stainless steel and carries a warranty of 25 years, while the other is 316-grade stainless steel and only has a 10-year warranty. Most chimney liners today are of the better grade and should protect your home for quite a long period. Yet, when it is time to reline, it is best not to delay the appointment with your trusted service provider says the team at Suffolk Stove Installations. The HETAS registered company is in the business of stoves and chimneys since 2004 and they explained why relining your chimney is so important.

When your fire is crackling away in your stove, it is a time you want to immerse yourself in the friendly warmth of the room and not spend a moment pondering on the dangers of possible leaks of poisonous gasses into your home. To enjoy this certainty, you need to be sure that your chimney lining is still in good working order with no leaks or holes where poisonous gas can escape and harm your family. It is the kind of confidence you can enjoy after a new chimney liner installation.

When you experience that your stove isn’t delivering optimal performance anymore, it might very well be another clear indication that it is time to get their reputable team out to your home and let them insert a new liner into your chimney. A new liner can help to bring back the optimal diameter to the chimney that your stove requires from the flue to burn at optimal levels.

Old liners can also leak soot and rust into your home. These can result in smoke and carbon monoxide turning your home into a poisonous and very unpleasant hot box making every breath a challenge. A new liner will clean up the entire situation and ensure that you can enjoy all the benefits without any of these unpleasant concerns.

They emphasise that even if your home isn’t that old yet, you shouldn’t avoid checking your chimney liner to see if you experience any of these concerns. It can be that something happened to cause minor cracks or early deterioration of the liner resulting in you having to reline your chimney somewhat sooner than expected.

In most stoves built before 1966, builders simply connected the stove to the chimney built of bricks. These bricks are porous meaning that when your fire is burning, it sends a load of tars and creosotes which comes from the burning wood into the brick chimney where it settles in the structure of your brickwork. As the brick surface is so porous it can be very challenging to clean up these surfaces and having it completely clean is near to impossible. It is why a liner is so important to connect the stove to the outside world as the liner covers the entire area of your brick chimney and it protects the brickwork from the build-up which is so hard to remove.

Their team relies only on premium quality liners to take care of your chimney and they state that a 1 mm stainless steel liner will keep your home safe, your stove in an optimal condition, and your chimney brickwork protected. They also emphasized that it is important to first spend some time cleaning the brickwork if your chimney didn’t have any protective layer as the old deposits can harm your new liner and drastically reduce its lifespan.

These are more than mere benefits of a new liner, but also an explanation of the symptoms telling you that it is time for a new liner installation.
