  • Clay flue liner is missing

    have a brick chimney that contains three flues inside.

    They are connected to
    -oil heater in basement
    -fireplace in basement
    -fireplace on first floor.

    The chimney sat down and had a big vertical crack that was repaired by previous owner. Due to the move some clay flue liners cracked down and fell apart. I do not use fireplaces, but heater is important for me.

    To be short the oil heater's flue is missing on the first floor so that I can smell CO (sometimes). Through the fireplace window (first floor) I can see the broken/missing heater's flue. Looks like I can reach it with my hand. Only one piece is missing.

    Questions:[8)]
    -can I install new flue liner myself without professional?
    -if new flue pipe can not go through the fireplace window, can I cut it in half vertically and then put together inside?
    -where can I buy 'Clay flue liner'?
    -how much it could be to have it installed by professional?

    I can post some images if it helps.

    Thanks.

    Pull a S/S steel liner through it. is the best way to go.

      Can I use S/S steel liner only in the place where clay is broken or
      I should pull it all the way from the bottom to the top?
      I have only one tile broken (2 feet?).

      Thanks for comments.

        All the way from bottom to top. If some is broken the rest will go also.
