Is Your Family Safe? 

In Connecticut there are many old homes that have aged masonry chimneys with gas and oil furnaces that use the chimney as a vent. These chimneys of yesterday were not intended to have today’s higher efficiency furnaces and water heaters venting through them. The gases or sulfur residue will deteriorate your chimney from the inside out. This may allow carbon monoxide to enter your home. 

Creative Masonry & Chimney can install a stainless steel chimney liner that will be sure to solve this problem and keep your family safe.  

Tips when purchasing a chimney relining system. 

1. Don’t buy a chimney liner system based on the lowest price.
2. Pay attention to the warranties offered by the different liner companies. They are not the same!
3. Is the contractor authorized to install the liner system? Will you still have the manufacturers warranty?
4. Make sure the contractor has liability AND workers comp insurance. There is a need to go on your roof. It is dangerous work!
5. Be sure to pay attention to sizing! Don't get a liner that is too small or too big.
6. What grade of stainless steel do you need? Do you have gas, oil, wood, or coal?

 Air & Water Tight

Locks moisture and flue gases in your chimney and keeps them from leaking into your home

 Stainless Steel

Forever Flex™ certified stainless steel liners protect against hostile acids and creosote which break down masonry chimneys and corrode lesser alloys of stainless steel very quickly. These durable lining systems protect the structure of your home from moisture damage and the very real potential of carbon monoxide poisoning. They are UL-listed to handle chimney fires, containing them within the liner, protecting the home from major fires stemming from very severe chimney fires. Forever Flex™ is made from 316 Ti or AL29-4C stainless steel.

• 316 Ti – a unique alloy designed to resist acids in the flue and the extreme stresses of hot and cold cycles. Can be used with solid fuels (wood, coal and pellet), gas and oil. It can withstand multiple heating cycles up to 2100 degrees.
• Al 29-4C – a distinctive alloy intended especially for high-efficient gas and high-efficient oil appliances. The flue gases from these appliances are cooler and create exceptionally high amounts of moisture which in turn promotes formation of an especially corrosive acid.

EverGuard Chimney Lining Systems are WARRANTEED FOREVER!
If you sell your home, this warranty is transferable to the new home buyer.
No comparable chimney lining systems have such a warranty! 

EverGuard Chimney Lining Systems has been tested and approved
for venting heating appliances by Underwriters Laboratories Inc

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.

Keep Your Family Safe from Carbon Monoxide with a CT Chimney Liner

The West Hartford, Connecticut skyline is dotted with chimneys; beautiful additions to any home or business, yet many of the CT chimneys are antiques and the old masonry poses serious problems to the modern owner. In CT, chimney liners are even more important than in other parts of the United States. In many of our older homes, we are using today's high efficiency furnaces and water heaters with yesterday's chimneys. The gases and sulfur residue of these new systems will deteriorate the aged masonry of your chimney from the inside out, which can allow carbon monoxide to enter your home.

Luckily, there is a simple solution: CT chimney liners. Our technicians are authorized installers who work closely with the product manufacturers. When looking at different CT chimney liner options, you want to consider not just the price, but also the warranties to ensure that you're getting a quality CT chimney liner. Our experienced CT chimney liner technicians will make the process simple by helping you to find a liner that is the correct size and material for your system.

These CT chimney liners are air and water tight, locking moisture and gases in your chimney so they don't leak into your house. Made with 316 Ti or AL29-4C stainless steel, they protect your masonry from hostile acids and creosote that cause deterioration. And they are also UL-listed to contain any chimney fires within the liner, protecting your home from the possibility of very severe chimney fires.

The Dangers of NOT Relining Your Chimney in CT

Even if your chimney looks pristine from the outside, there is a good possibility that it is having problems on the inside. Our experts will inspect your chimney for current damage or early signs of erosion. All chimneys, new and old, should be inspected annually for safety measures. However, many concerns do lie with older chimneys. With these older models it is probable that our CT chimney professionals will find:

• Original clay liner or no liner at all
• Erosion that can include anything from lose pieces to missing chunks of bricks
• Moisture that has begun to seep into your home
• Possibility of internal collapse
• Build-up of debris in the flue which can cause internal fires
• Gas leaks, primarily carbon monoxide into your home

By choosing to not reline your chimney you are putting your home and family at risk. Carbon monoxide is a very real threat that is difficult for you to detect in your home, but can lead to illness and even death. The good news is that you don't have to rebuild your chimney to solve these problems; our Connecticut chimney repair technicians can insert a stainless steel liner specifically fitted to your chimne
