The Problem with Clay Tile Chimney Liners

Many chimneys are made with terra-cotta tile flue liners. The tiles do a good job of protecting parts of the home from heat and the release of combustion gases, but when they become damaged, significant issues are on the way.

Over time, constant exposure to high temperatures, flames, and corrosive gases diminishes the integrity of clay tile liners. This stress causes the tiles to crack or spall. This is the problem many homeowners call us to solve.

The HeatShield Solution

One approach to dealing with a damaged tile liner is to rebuild it. But that can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive to the home and family. Relining the chimney with a stainless steel liner can be an option for some chimneys with clay tile liners.

For many homes, HeatShield is the best solution for a failing clay tile chimney liner.

HeatShield Cerfractory Flue Sealant is a compound made by SaverSystems, a leader in chimney protection products. Our factory-trained HeatShield technicians can repair or reline your chimney safely and correctly.

Relining

For severely damaged liners, the HeatShield relining process involves placing a plug at the bottom of the flue, adding the HeatShield mixture, and then pulling up the plug with a winch to coat every part of the flue’s surface thoroughly.

Chimney Inspections

It’s a good idea to schedule annual chimney inspections, even if there are no signs of damage or malfunction in your chimney. For chimney liner problems, we use special video cameras.

This technology enables our technicians to inspect the entire inner surface of a chimney flue, providing us with the necessary data to recommend the most effective solution for the chimney liner issue.

Is Your Chimney Liner Failing?

There are several signs to watch for.

• Chunks of clay tiles in the firebox.
• Sluggish drafting caused by breaks and open spaces in the liner that cause air to move out of it.
• Smoke backups from a narrowed flue caused by excessive creosote and soot buildups in jagged sections of the damaged liner.

Several things can cause sluggish drafting and backups, so we’ll always perform a thorough chimney inspection before starting work.
