What You Can Count On
Flue repair fixes the passage inside the chimney that carries smoke out: cracked clay tiles, open joints between tiles and damaged metal liners. Chimney flue repair in Spring Hill starts with a full look down the flue, then a tile repair, resurfacing or a new stainless liner, depending on the damage found.
Why Flue Tiles Crack
Clay flue tiles take sudden heat from a fire and cool quickly when it goes out. Over years, that cycle cracks tiles and loosens the mortar between them. Water coming down an uncapped flue adds to it, and a chimney fire can crack a whole run in one night.
A cracked tile does not stop the fireplace working, which is why flue damage often goes unnoticed. NFPA 211 treats a damaged liner as a reason to keep the fireplace out of use until it is repaired.
Flue Tile Repair or a New Liner
Flue tile repair for an isolated crack or open joint near the top can be done in place. Chimney flue resurfacing applies a heat-resistant coating inside the flue to seal cracks and gaps along its length, where the product's listing allows it. Cracked flue tile repair at the bottom of the flue can sometimes be reached through the smoke chamber.
When damage runs along the flue, a stainless steel liner is the more reliable fix. Chimney flue tile replacement of a single section is rarely practical inside a finished chimney, and chimney liner repair on an existing metal liner depends on what failed.
After a Chimney Fire
After any chimney fire, have the flue inspected before the fireplace is used again. We look at the full length of the flue, the smoke chamber and the cap, and write down what was damaged and how it can be repaired. Flue repair is planned once the extent of the damage is known.

What Affects the Price
Signs It Is Time
The flue is the passage inside the chimney that carries smoke and heat out of the house. Clay tiles crack, joints between them open, and a chimney fire can damage a whole run. Our crew inspects the flue from top to bottom and repairs what can be repaired, or recommends relining when it cannot.
Questions and Answers
Can a chimney flue be repaired?
Many flue problems can be repaired in place, such as a single cracked tile or an open joint near the top. Cracks along the flue can sometimes be sealed with a listed resurfacing coating. When damage runs the length of the flue, a stainless steel liner is the surer fix.
What are chimney flues?
A flue is the passage inside the chimney that carries smoke and gases from the fireplace or appliance to the outside. In masonry chimneys it is usually lined with clay tiles. Each fireplace or appliance needs its own flue, which is why some chimneys have two or three. The flue keeps heat away from the framing around the chimney.
Why does my chimney have 3 flues?
Each fireplace, furnace or water heater that vented through the chimney needed its own flue. A chimney with three flues once served three appliances, and any flue no longer in use should still be capped to keep out rain, leaves and animals.
What happens if a flue tile cracks?
A cracked flue tile can let heat and hot gases reach the wood framing beside the chimney. It can also let carbon monoxide seep into the house. Keep the fireplace out of use until the flue is inspected. The repair might be a spot fix, resurfacing or a new liner.
