A flue lining in a masonry chimney is defined as “a clay, ceramic, or metal conduit installed inside of a chimney, intended to contain the combustion products, direct them to the outside atmosphere, and protect the chimney walls from heat and corrosion.”

Preserve your chimney and home with a chimney cap. Chimney caps prevent rain and freeze/thaw deterioration ,leaves, debris, clog ups and small animal infestation from entering your flue as well as sparks from igniting near by combustibles. We install Caps in copper or stainless steel, specialty caps, and energy saving LOCK-TOP dampers that eliminate down drafts when a chimney is not in use.

Masonry chimneys are built to last — all are made out of a combination of brick, mortar, concrete, stone, cast iron and other strong materials that add up to a functional, beautiful and durable part of your home. But the effects of precipitation and the swelling and shrinking that comes with continuous temperature change will take their toll on even the best-constructed chimneys, resulting in deteriorating mortar and brick, chipping and flaking concrete and other issues. When those issues arise, you’ll need the help of qualified, experienced technicians to bring your chimney back to looking — and functioning — like new.

The chimney crown,  is a large slab that covers the top opening of the chimney. Unlike a chimney cap, which is typically made of metal and merely covers the opening to the flue, the chimney crown covers the entire top of the chimney.
