Homesaver Chimney Liner Saves Fireplace
Posted by Dieter Bove on Wed, Oct 14, 2009
Myself and Certified Chimney Sweep, Bill McClintock, relined a masonry chimney in Sleepy Hollow, Illinois that experienced a damaging chimney fire last fall. A level II closed circuit internal video inspection revealed there were several cracked tiles and a damaged smoke chamber. This inspection told us that the fireplace posed a future structure fire hazard if it were to be used prior our repairs. We installed a UL Listed insulated stainless steel chimney liner, and rebuilt the smoke chamber using the Smoktite chamber restoration system certified to 3000 degrees. Those two repairs combined, restored the fireplace to "better than" its' original condition. Customer was more than satisfied with the new liner.
