What Causes a
Dangerous Chimney?
[Go
back to questions]Traditionally, chimneys are
either unlined, or lined with clay tiles that break, crack, and weather with time. These
conditions allow heat and fumes to transfer or escape into the home, sometimes with lethal
consequences.
Condensation also damages many chimneys. Warm fumes cause
condensation to form in the flues, and with years of use the moisture can destroy the
brickwork or lining of the chimney.
Plus chimney fires, or lightning can destroy the brickwork
and lining of a chimney.
Why is SOLID/FLUE the preferred
method for restoring a chimney and fireplace?
[Go
back to questions]
Because it is among the industry's absolute safest chimney
lining products, and the only liner approved for installation in direct contact with
combustible material in both the chimney and fireplace areas. SOLID/FLUE
insulates and restores the entire chimney cavity for keeping fire and smoke in its place.
How much does a SOLID/FLUE liner cost?
[Go
back to questions]
That depends on the size of the chimney, the number of
fireplaces and appliances connected to the chimney and other factors. SOLD/FLUE is competitively priced with less safe chimney lining products, and far less
expensive than replacing brickwork and masonry. Call 616-940-8809 or e-mail us today for an estimate from your local

Will SOLID/FLUE prevent chimney fires?
[Go
back to questions]
Proper cleaning, maintenance, and usage are the keys to
preventing chimney fires. But SOLID/FLUE will drastically reduce the potential for chimney fires by properly
sizing and insulating flues to provide optimal operating efficiency.
What type of heaters and
appliances cause chimney problems?
[Go
back to questions]
Nearly any type that isn't properly fitted for its chimney.
Fireplaces, wood burning stoves, and even ultra efficient gas and oil furnaces can cause
chimney problems if the flue fails to vent gases quickly and efficiently.
