Warning Signs Your Chimney Needs Attention

• White staining (efflorescence) on the exterior brick
• Cracked, crumbling, or missing mortar joints
• Spalling — pieces of brick flaking off the chimney exterior
• Rust on the firebox, damper, or factory-built fireplace
• Water in the firebox or staining on walls/ceiling near the chimney
• A strong smoky smell coming from an unused fireplace
• Smoke entering the room when the fireplace is in use (poor draft)
• Visible cracks in the crown at the top of the chimney
• Missing, damaged, or rusted chimney cap
• You haven't had it cleaned or inspected in over a year

Why a Proper Chimney Liner Matters

The flue liner is the single most important safety component of any chimney. A cracked clay liner or a chimney with no liner at all allows extreme heat, toxic combustion gases (including carbon monoxide), and creosote to come into direct contact with combustible building materials. Both the National Fire Protection Association and most NJ municipal codes require a properly sized, intact liner. We install UL-1777 listed stainless-steel liners that carry lifetime warranties and are sized correctly for your specific appliance — gas furnace, oil burner, wood stove, or open fireplace.
