Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our chimney inspections? Check out our FAQs below to find the answers you’re looking for.

Do you offer replacement chimneys/stacks/exhausts?

Yes, we supply all of the above and can also repair existing exhaust systems.

Do I require an approved chimney liner?

Yes. A chimney liner protects the chimney’s masonry and joints from the heat of combustion. It also protects the chimney from corrosion that can be inflicted by the acidic flue gases. By preventing overheating and corrosion, a chimney liner ensures a longer life for your chimney.

How often do I need to inspect my exhaust system?

We recommend performing a complete internal & external inspection of your exhaust system(s) every couple years to ensure the safety and health of occupants in the building, as well as the good keeping of the exhaust system.
