Can
a chimney look good on the outside but be faulty or even
dangerous on the inside?
"But my
furnace chimney looks fine on the outside."
Many chimneys
venting gas or oil furnaces or hot water heaters may
appear to be in fine condition on the outside. But
inside it could be a completely different situation.
Yesterday's chimneys were not designed for venting
today's more energy efficient appliances. Let's take a
close look at what really counts...the inside.
Now look inside,
see the problems?
A look at the inside
of this same chimney shows how acid-laden residue from
the furnace has attacked this flue. The original
clay liner has eroded away; pieces of it are even
missing. (Old chimneys might not even have a liner.)
Mortar and bricks are loose and falling, and moisture
has
eeched through to the home's interior walls.
With continued use,
more erosion will take place, possibly leading to leaks
in the flue, complete flue blockage, or possibly even
carbon monoxide poisoning of the home's occupants.
Chimney problems
can cause illness and even loss of lives.
It's happened
thousands of times - illness, even death, from carbon
monoxide or sulfur dioxide poisoning.
With deterioration of the flue, the deadly gases can
find their way into your home through even the smallest
cracks.
In severe cases, the
chimney erosion will lead to partial or complete
internal collapse, blocking the flue and sending these
poisonous gases into the home.
But fortunately, the
problems of a deteriorating gas or oil furnace flue can
be corrected without completely rebuilding your chimney.
Revitalize your
chimney with a HomeSaver® Chimney Relining System
HomeSaver will
revitalize your chimney. We suggest a liner that is made
of either 316Ti alloy stainless steel or AL294C alloy
stainless steel, depending upon your type of furnace.
These alloys were developed specifically to resist
corrosive flue acids. A liner acts as a barrier between
the flue gases and the defects in your chimney walls.
Not only will it add to the safety of your home and
family, it will also increase the resale value of your
home. And, your furnace will run more efficiently.
HomeSaver's patented
construction is unsurpassed in flexibility and strength.
This dependable, high-quality product comes with the
best lifetime warranty in the industry.
HomeSaver can reline
virtually any chimney configuration you may have - from
single, straight flues, to multiple flues and flues with
bends and size changes.
