Flue lining is very important to all chimneys. If you have an older chimney you should inspect the flue lining as it might be time to install a new one. There are several hazards associated with having a bad lining which include the possibility of carbon monoxide entering your house. Rather than rebuild your chimney just install a flue lining.
- Clean out the chimney and move any obstructions in the area. A probe is a great way to find obstructions as well as measure your chimney.
- When choosing a chimney liner you want to choose the largest one that will fit inside.
- The easiest way to install the chimney liner is from the top of the chimney.
- Screw the liner into place using the plates on the bottom of it.
Tips for Your Flue Liner Installation
- When installing the flue liner be extra careful as you’re lowering it from the top so you don’t damage it.
- It may be beneficial for you to add a mix of vermiculite and cement in between the flue liner and the chimney stone to insulate the chimney.
