Our team evaluates the condition of your liner and recommends the right solution to ensure safe venting, increased efficiency, and long-lasting performance
Types of Chimney Liners
Stainless Steel Chimney Liners
Stainless steel liners are durable, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for wood, gas, and oil appliances. They are often installed when older liners are damaged or when the flue needs resizing. These liners provide long-term performance and are a preferred choice for relining.
Clay Tile Liners
Clay tile liners are found in many traditional mason-built chimneys. They are strong and heat-resistant but can crack over time. When repair is possible, individual tiles may be replaced; when widespread damage occurs, relining with stainless steel is often recommended.
Cast-in-Place Liners
These liners create a smooth, insulated flue passage by applying a cast material inside the chimney. They help strengthen older chimneys and can improve overall structural stability.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my chimney liner needs to be replaced?
Common signs include visible cracking, pieces of tile in the firebox, drafting problems, smoke entering the room, or inconsistent appliance performance. A camera inspection provides the most accurate diagnosis.
What type of liner is best for my chimney?
The best liner depends on your heating appliance, chimney design, and venting requirements. Stainless steel is a strong option for many homes, but clay tile or cast-in-place liners may be suitable depending on the structure.
Can a damaged liner be repaired instead of replaced?
In some cases, yes. Minor cracks, joint separation, and smoke chamber defects may be repairable. If the damage is extensive, relining is often the safer and more reliable solution.
Does installing a new liner improve fireplace performance?
Yes. A properly sized and installed liner can support better draft, reduce smoke issues, and help the appliance burn more efficiently.
Do gas appliances require a chimney liner?
Many do. Gas appliances produce acidic byproducts that can damage unprotected masonry. A suitable liner helps protect the chimney and allows the appliance to vent safely.
