The soon-to-be earthquakes caused extensive damage to buildings and thus placed many chimneys in the hazardous category. Checking of compounds and possible physical damage must be done by a professional. Very often ”on the eye” the correct chimney will need to be replaced with a new one, while in some cases the damaged chimney will be possible to repair.

If the masonry chimney has retained its original function after the earthquake, it is possible to repair it by inserting one-sided INOX elements  and thus connect through the openings to the wearer.

In some buildings, the earthquake caused the chimney to collapse (most often the chimney collapsed on the roof where it was not held by the retaining walls) and in that case it needs to be cleaned all the way to the position where the “healthy ” begins, and further flue gas drainage continues via insulated (double-glazed) stainless steel chimney.

One of the advantages of Lim-mont smoke elements is their low mass, which favors earthquake-weakened walls.

Renovation or new construction is always important to work with certified Lim-mont products.
