WHAT IS A CHIMNEY LINER?
Liners channel heat and gas upward and out of the chimney and prevent combustibles around the chimney from catching fire. Over time, liners will slowly deteriorate until they can't do their job as efficiently, putting your home at risk when you use the fireplace. If the liner has reached the point of cracking or crumbling, it needs to be replaced before you can use your fireplace again.
RELINING
Stainless steel liners offer optimal longevity, and are recommend by fire protection professionals. They can be expensive to install or replace, but it's worth the investment of only doing it once, with the help of Top Hat Chimney & Masonry!

Chimney Fires
A chimney fire is just what it sounds like it is: a fire that starts in your chimney, and has the potential to spread to the rest of your home.
Some chimney fires burn slowly at high temperatures (slow-burning chimney fire). Though the homeowner may not know one of these fires has occurred, they can still cause structural damage over time. A free-burning chimney fire
is easy to spot: they sound like a freight train, and sometimes produce flames or billowing smoke that lap out your chimney top.
Regardless of what type of chimney fire you experience, step #1 should be to get yourself and your home's occupants out of harm's way. If it is safe to do so, close the damper, glass doors, fire grates, and any pipes that may be supplying air to the fire. If possible, and again, only if it's safe, turn on an outside hose and wet down your roof. If the fire has spread, call 9-1-1.
The better way to go? Prevent chimney fires with periodic cleanings by a professional chimney sweep service like Top Hat Chimney Sweep & Masonry.
