Revitalize your chimney with a new lining system
Your chimney, like most chimneys, probably appears to be in fine condition on the outside. But on the inside, it's very probable to find imperfect conditions. The original clay liner may have cracks or even pieces missing (Old chimneys might not even have a liner.) Mortar and bricks may be loose and falling, and there could be an excessive building up combustible creosote on the flue walls.
These conditions are the result of a number of possible causes, including: flue fires, an improperly vented or misused stove, poor construction, excessive moisture, and more. With continued use of this chimney any of these conditions could lead to loss of property or life. You see, water is a by-product of burning. In fact, when you burn one cubic foot of gas, you create two cubic feet of water vapor.
Old, inefficient heating appliances sent so much heat up the flue that the water created in the combustion process stayed in the form of hot steam in the chimney. While new high-efficiency heating appliances don't put as much heat into the flue, the water vapor that's created doesn't have the draft power to push it up and out of the flue. It condenses on the walls of your chimney, which can endanger your chimney system. Fortunately, the problems of a deteriorating chimney can be corrected without completely rebuilding your chimney.
