Question 1

How often should I clean my chimney?

Accepted Answer

According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), fireplaces need to be cleaned once there is 1/8″ of creosote and/or soot buildup inside the chimney liner or about once a year.

Question 2

What is included with a chimney inspection?

Accepted Answer

Inspection covers the interior flue condition, exterior brick and mortar joint condition, smoke shelf and damper condition, and firebox and hearth condition.

Question 3

When do I need to consider a full chimney rebuild?

Accepted Answer

If your annual inspection reveals significant damage or if it's tilting, leaning, cracking, spalling, or completely falling apart, then a chimney rebuild is in your best interest.

Question 4

What are the benefits of the CRS 2000 Chimney Restoration System?

Accepted Answer

The CRS 2000 chimney lining system, with its Triple Lifetime Warranty, offers a cheaper alternative to tearing down expensive brickwork. The high cost of rebuilding is eliminated, yet the chimney is safer than ever before. Laboratory tests have proven ours to be a far safer system than conventional liners, plus installation of our lining is quick, and inconvenience is minimal.

Question 5

Should I be concerned about creosote buildup?

Accepted Answer

The use of wood stoves or wood burning fireplaces creates creosote, which can become combustible. When it ignites, temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees can result. At this point, your clay liner will crack allowing the heat to transfer to the combustibles in the structure of your house. The use of our CRS 2000 solution prevents this transfer of heat, eliminating the chance of a structure fire.
