Vent: a guy in Cleveland told me my brush was too stiff for a liner, and he was dead on
I'd been sizing every flue the same way for years, and when a sweep at the supply counter in Cleveland told me my poly brush was tearing up a clay liner on a 1920s house, I switched to a softer grade for anything older than 1950 and my callback rate on cracked liners dropped to almost nothing, so what grade are you running on the old stuff?
