What Is A Chimney Flue?
Before we get to the replacement of your chimney flue, let’s first quickly discuss what exactly the flue is. The flue is just a fancy word for the lining of a chimney and is a clay, ceramic, or metal conduit that gets installed inside of a chimney. Its purpose is to contain the combustion products inside the lining and get them outside. On top of that, the flue protects the chimney walls from heat and corrosion. In a nutshell, it is what keeps the rest of your home safe from the burning fire. So it is important that it is in good working condition.
Why Chimney Flue Replacement is Necessary
Adding or replacing any liners for your chimney can greatly reduce the chance of a fire. In addition, these stainless steel liners extend the life of your chimney. Many people don’t see the corrosive effects from changes in weather from hot to cold, rain to snow over the years. These changes cause moisture and can greatly affect your chimney’s inner clay flue and cause possible chimney leaks.
As time passes, the interior walls begin to crack and crumble. This allows for fumes and gases to sneak through. A flammable, tar-like substance called creosote begins to form on these crevices. If your chimney isn’t regularly inspected and maintained, you may become a victim of a home fire that began in your chimney. There are some simple signs you may need replacement that you can check on yourself.
