CHIMNEYS RELINED & REPAIRED
Remember: Chimneys should be inspected every year for defects. Check for blockages: loose or fallen bricks, broken flue lining, animal nests, debris and soot accumulation. Chimney cleaning should be performed periodically. The National Fire Protection Code 211 requires an annual safety inspection of all chimney systems.

If you use your fireplace or appliance on regular basis, we strongly recommend cleaning of the chimney flue at least once a year during annual chimney inspection. We are well trained and qualified to inspect or clean your chimney and to asses any potential problems. If necessary, or requested by the homeowner, architect or engineer, we can perform video-camera scanning of your chimney.
Chimney Liners and Relining
Chimneys that were built without flue liners according to NFPA 211 Code: Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances and local New York City Code must be lined for safety's sake. Fitting a chimney with a properly chosen liner is most important. Chimneys often need to be resized to perform properly. Installing a lightweight, properly sized, UL Listed metal chimney liner will help create safe, efficient and condensate free venting. Stainless steel corrugated and rigid liners are perfect for use when relining masonry flues venting oil, gas, coal and wood burning appliances. They should be installed in accordance with their listing and the NYC Building Code.
Important: All factory made chimneys and liners installed in NYC must be approved by the MEA Division and be installed in accordance with the Building Code for Listed Factory Built Chimneys and Liners.
A relining system will restore and revitalize your chimney. This will ad to the safety of your house and family, and it will increase value of your property.
The common relining materials are:
• Stainless Steel - Flexible Corrugated or Rigid Liners
• Fire Clay Flue Liners
