One thing we know is that chimney fires can happen anywhere at any time when they are in use. In the South, we often find people thinking that "lack of use" means "everything's okay" and that's just bad thinking. When conducting chimney inspections, we find animals that have taken up residence in the flue with nests built on the smoke shelf, in the smoke chamber or blocking the flue entirely. We've also found leaves and debris in the chimney that can easily catch on fire if not removed before that first use every year.
For many years, homeowners had to make some difficult decisions when it came to relining their clay or terracotta chimney flues, due to the fact that replacement was pretty much the only option. However, there is now a product on the market we can use to repair these types of flues that is economical, reliable and less time-intensive than a replacement and it's called HeatShield. There are several things that cause your chimney liner to break down. One is the buildup of creosote. If you think about the liner as a vein, creosote acts much like cholesterol attaching to the interior of a vein where there might be a tear or imperfection.
With the amount of rain we get here in Central Mississippi, any help we can give to our homes and property to protect them from damage and extend their life is always something to consider. That's why we offer to apply professional products specially formulated to keep water from penetrating the brick and mortar while allowing vapors to pass through it. Water is the number one enemy of your chimney system from the outside brick, stone or stucco to the inside structure from the flue to the firebox.
