Chimney flue replacement service throughout Chicago and suburbs

In order for you to always ensure the safety and security of your home, it is important to regularly inspect all areas for possible flooding, insect infestations, and shifting foundations. This practice will benefit you especially when you are able to prevent a minor problem from turning into a major one. To stay on top of any changes to your home, you should always check the condition of its individual rooms like the kitchen, bathrooms, and the basement. You shouldn’t stop there though, it’s also good practice to inspect elements such as gutters on the outside and fireplaces on the inside.



The hearth that has been providing your house with warmth during the dead of winters should be one of the areas you inspect thoroughly. Chances are that if it hasn’t been inspected in a few years, there may be issues with some of its parts, such as the cap, flashing, or chimney flue. 

 

No matter how your chimney was built, it will always have a flue. The flue is a vital part of your chimney system as it functions as an exit way for waste gases, such as smoke and exhaust, to find their way outside. If it has not been working properly, it can become a serious safety hazard.

When should you call for a chimney flue replacement?


A chimney flue is a vital part that needs to function properly, here are some signs that your flue liner or vent is not working.


  • It takes more time for your fireplace to heat

When you notice that your system is taking significantly longer to warm up than it usually did before, this is a sign that the flue is not functioning properly. 

  • There is a bad smell in your chimney

Your chimney should not produce bad smells or odors. If so, this happens due to the poor venting of the smoke that should be escaping your home. This unpleasant odor can also mean that there is a build-up of creosote and soot in your chimney liner, which can be a very serious hazard, as this build-up can possibly cause carbon monoxide poisoning. 


  • There are gaps and broken pieces in your flue

If you notice that there are parts of your flue liner that are falling to your firebox, this usually indicates damage to the structure that will result in bigger problems in the future when water and moisture seep through. This is also a huge safety risk as it can disturb the airflow inside your chimney system.
