How To Replace Your Chimney Liner?
When your chimney is old and the lining comes undone, you are at a very high risk of smoke and carbon monoxide poisoning. Instead of building a new chimney from scratch, there is a cheaper option of just putting in a new chimney liner. Here is a short breakdown of the steps that you will need to follow. 1. The first thing that you need to do is put a probe down your chimney to check for and remove any obstructions that may be lodged within it. While doing this you can get to measure the interior of the chimney as well. 2. You will then need to clean the chimney. You can call a chimney sweep to do it for you or choose to do it yourself. You will need a cleaning brush that has a chain attached to it so that you can lower it into the chimney and pull it back up repetitively. They are very easy to find in hardware shops. 3. Step three is to choose a chimney liner suited to your chimney requirements. Very cheap options to go with are the flexible ones made from materials such as stainless steel. Make sure that you get the best fitting chimney liner so that you do not use up too much interior space of the chimney. 4. Lower the chimney liner from the top of the chimney. If you have a line lowered down and a wench at the top you will be able to do it easily using the line to draw the chimney liner in place. This should be done very slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the liner. A couple of plates should then be attached to keep the liner firmly in place. The plates will also keep the smoke from escaping into your home through the smoke chamber. 5. Step 5 will require that you make a mixture of vermiculite and cement which you will then pour down the chimney carefully. This mixture goes in between the chimney liner and the stone of the chimney itself. This step is done to properly insulate the chimney.
