Oregon Chimney Repair
Thermocrete Ceramic Flue Sealant (CFS) is a chimney restoration and chimney repair product designed for all types of masonry chimneys. Thermocrete is available for Chimney Repair in Oregon. The patented Ceramic Flue Sealant material:
- Withstands extremely high temperatures
- Eliminates the need to downsize the flue substantially
- Keeps costs contained, even for multiple-flue chimneys
- Increases structural stability
- Withstands corrosive elements that damage many types of liners
Thermocrete Ceramic Flue Sealant when used for Chimney Repair in Oregon is applied in a semi-liquid form, providing excellent adhesion to masonry surfaces, coating the entire interior surface of the flue, and filling small gaps in the masonry work with a fireproof seal. Multiple layers of the ceramic material are applied, forming a complete and durable chimney sealant, unsurpassed in the industry. Thermocrete is used in Oregon for Chimney Repair.
Thermocrete is the premier solution for chimney repair and chimney restoration. With our advanced spray technology, several layers of ceramic flue sealant are sprayed inside each flue. This coating seals all small holes and cracks, strengthens the chimney, flue or lining, and increases efficiency without making it significantly smaller.
Moreover, it doesn’t substantially reduce the size of the flue. This is important. The flue capacity must be sufficient to handle the volume of exhaust from the fireplace, stove or furnace. Reducing the flue size can result in smoke spilling into the home, or worse yet, allowing carbon monoxide to enter the home, a potentially lethal situation. Thermocrete is a good choice for Chimney Repair in Oregon.
Thermocrete products are tested and listed by Warnock Hersey to the strict standards of UL 1777. Rigorous testing guarantees consistent product quality and durability. Thermocrete is available for Chimney Repair in Oregon.
Chimney Repair Oregon - Why Do I Need to Repair My Chimney?
Chimney professionals hear this line all the time: “It’s been fine for thirty years like this.” To the typical consumer, spending money on the innards of the chimney – something they never look at or even think about except when a chimney repair professional is skulking about with a flashlight and clip board – is an unattractive proposition.
But let’s assume you have already seen the photos of burned-down houses, like this one, so now you understand the “famous last words” look you received from your chimney professional when you said “It’s been fine for thirty years.” What he heard was, “My house hasn’t burned down yet, so why worry?”
Because, of course, the wood framing of your house is right next to the chimney, and you and your kids are on the other side of the wall. A fire in a chimney with a cracked, damaged or missing liner, and maybe some chinks and gaps in the masonry work... This should strike you as a bad situation. Still, you don’t want to spend a fortune, and you want an excellent result.
If your goal is to return to happily not thinking about the inside of the chimney, then Ceramic Flue Sealant is the right product for you. Thermocrete is available for Chimney Repair in Oregon.
Chimney Restoration and Chimney Repair in Oregon - Why Choose Ceramic Flue Sealant?
If you have done your homework on chimneys, you might have noticed that many other products are listed, too. What makes Ceramic Flue Sealant different?
Let’s consider a car analogy: Your car needs a new paint job. Do you take it to the quick-mart place, or do you bring it to a leading, professional shop? The quick-mart job will get you a nice looking car – for a little while, at least. When you drive it home, it will look great, just as good as it would if the pros did the job. But once the elements get to it – rain, snow, road salt, sand – things might not stay looking so good. You’ve seen those cars on the road, with the paint peeling and coming off. “There goes someone who went to the quick-mart place.”
So, how will your chimney stand up, over time? The fact that there is needed chimney repair in the first place is often due to corrosive elements: sulfurous emissions from burning oil, chlorides from burning gas, or creosote from burning wood; and often a combination over time of multiple corrosive agents. Just about any installation will look great on day one, and many products will pass a certification test. But what about next year, or ten years from now? This is where Thermocrete Ceramic Flue Sealant shines.
The Ceramic Flue Sealant layer isn’t subject to the problems of corrosion that many metallic chimney lining systems face, because it is not metallic in the first place. Doesn’t it make sense that a ceramic material, one of a class of materials that people have been using for thousands of years for the sake of durability and heat resistance, would make the perfect chimney material?
What Ceramic Flue Sealant brings to the industry is a patented, world-class ceramic formula, specifically designed for chimney repair and chimney
restoration. The Ceramic Flue Sealant formula gets it right. Remember, Thermocrete
is available for Chimney Repair in Oregon.
