Chimney Liners
The NFPA Code 211 states that all chimneys need to have a flue liner that can contain and exhaust all by-products of combustion, including heat, dangerous gases, creosote and condensation. The flue liner should be repaired or replaced whenever it stops performing. The common solution to this is to insert a metal pipe into the chimney from the top down to the appliances.
