Chimney Relining
Keep your chimney operating safely and efficiently with our expert chimney relining services.
Why is Chimney Relining Important?
Chimney relining involves the installation or replacement of a liner inside your chimney. A missing or damaged liner will pose several hazards, including but not limited to fire hazards, improper ventilation, and even carbon monoxide leaks.
Even with the best-maintained chimneys, small cracks, gaps, or other problems in the flue lining can appear after some time; these are fixes that require immediate attention. Here’s why a functioning liner is important:
✔ Safety First: A liner prevents toxic gasses from leaking into your home and keeps the high heat generated by the fireplace from affecting combustible materials in your home.
✔ Better Efficiency: A correctly fitted and sized liner will maintain the performance of a fireplace at its optimal best, contributing positively to reduced creosote buildup and ensuring increased efficiency in heating.
Moreover, local building codes require homes to have a working chimney liner in order to achieve safety standards!
Our Chimney Relining Options
Every chimney is different, and we have various options for relining that suit your specific needs and your budget. They are as follows:
Stainless Steel Liners
The most common stainless steel for a chimney liner is resistant and adaptable. Prefabricated stainless steel liners last for decades, mostly with very little corrosion, and can also be resized or used to replace clay tile liners.
The stainless steel liners installed by our certified technicians also come with a warranty to guarantee long-term protection to customers!
Ceramic Slip Cast Resurfacing
This involves applying a refractory, heat-resistant ceramic coating to the inside of the existing liner. It is ideal for those chimneys that have only minor cracks or surface damage, thus creating a seamless barrier that is extremely resistant to heat and safe.
Slip cast resurfacing would, therefore, be ideal in cases where your chimney requires light repairs and doesn’t need a full reline.
Cast-In-Place Liners
If your chimney contains major damage or large holes, the most viable option could be a cast-in-place liner. This process involves putting a former down the chimney and pumping in a concrete-like substance.
When cured, the substance forms one continuous, gas-tight liner that reinforces the structure of your chimney. Durability here is legendary, with resistance to the heaviest heat and corrosive gasses at no risk.
How Much Does Chimney Relining in New Jersey Cost?
Costs for chimney relining depend on the type of liner that will go in, the size of the chimney, and the amount of damage that has already been sustained. While stainless steel liners may be more expensive up front, they are durable long-term and are often warrantied.
Clay liners are usually the less expensive option but could become more labor-intensive if retrofitted into an existing chimney. Our team at Infinite Construction will provide you with a detailed inspection to offer a thorough, transparent quote about your chimney’s specific needs.
