Many stove and liner installations are incorrectly performed by unknowledgable installers. Here you see a short flue connection pipe that was incorrectly installed by jamming it in to the fireplace caused a major problem for this homeowner. This caused years of problems because it was installed wrong. Once it was removed & replaced the problem went away, but costly because it was done twice. The connection pipe was unable to exhaust when jammed up against the wall.

Because the flue was too big for this short section of pipe it could not maintain the heat or air supply to move the creosote out of the chimney. The result was a very dangerous glazed flue. This third stage creosote must be removed. Secondly, you can see that the installer jammed this short section of flex pipe into the chimney.

To correct this problem for the homeowner a full 25 foot insulated stainless steel liner was installed from the stove to the top of the chimney.

We believe our years of experience within this industry will help us answer all of your questions and take care of all of your needs.

Here is a good example of letting your chimney go.
The top of this chimney caved in and the rest fell off.
These two pictures show before & after shots. The chimney was repaired with four new flue sections and a new concrete crown was installed with a stainless steel cap to protect the top and keep out water. This is waiting too long and not maintaining the chimney.

This chimney is a rebuild from the roof up. Zack is a skilled mason and excellent chimney restoration expert.
