Chimney Flue Relining:

Chimney relining is often the most practical and affordable way to repair a damaged or deteriorated chimney. A chimney may need relined due to damage caused by a chimney fire or the home settling. Older chimneys may be unlined and deteriorated to a point that they are unsafe unless some type of liner is installed.

Types of liners:

Stainless Steel – This method of relining involves installing a round, oval or rectangular stainless steel liner in the chimney. The liner is then insulated with a material that will keep the liner warm (thus ensuring a better draw) and also strengthen both the liner and the chimney.

Chimney Jack offers UL Listed stainless steel lining systems that come with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty that is also transferable to the next owner of the home.

Flue Tiles – Terra Cotta flue tile liners have been used in chimney construction in the Denver area since the 1930’s. Most often they are suitable for use in new construction. When they become cracked or broken (usually due to a chimney fire) they can be replaced if the chimney is quite large, otherwise the solution is usually to install a stainless liner within the damaged flue tiles.

Chimney Jack can evaluate your chimney and determine the best solution for you.

Aluminum – Aluminum liners can be used to vent natural gas burning appliances such as a furnace, hot water heater or boiler. These liners generally are less expensive than stainless steel and have twenty to thirty year warranties.

Chimney Jack strongly advises that all furnace and boiler chimneys be lined so as to prevent any carbon monoxide and flue gasses from entering the home.

Firebox repointing and rebuilding:

The firebox or your fireplace takes a lot of heat and abuse. If any of the bricks are loose or if the mortar joints are eroded back more than ½ inch it should be repaired.

Chimney Jack can repair, build or rebuild fireboxes.

Crown Repair:

The mortar crown is the concrete-like surface at the top of your chimney. Its job is to shed water way from the flue and to keep water from entering the chimney chase. Cracks or missing pieces in the crown can lead to extensive water damage in your chimney.

Chimney Jack can repair or rebuild the crown on your chimney.

Damper Repair:

A damper stops heat from escaping up the chimney when the fireplace is not in use. If your fireplace does not have a damper or if it is inadequate you are simply pumping your heat (and money) right up the chimney.

Chimney Jack can evaluate your damper and repair, or replace it as necessary.

We want your business and will do the job right at a fair price.
