Liners

Chimney Liner Installation

The liner is what actually carries smoke and combustion gases safely up and out. A cracked, undersized or missing liner is a safety issue, and it's usually invisible until a camera goes down the flue.

What This Service Covers

Liner installation covers fitting a properly sized stainless steel liner for the appliance or fireplace it serves, replacing a liner that's cracked or deteriorated, and relining older chimneys that were never properly fitted with one in the first place.

Signs You Need It

Common Causes

Liners deteriorate from age, heat cycling, and chimney fires or near-fires that stress the material beyond normal wear. Many older homes were built before liners were standard, or were relined informally over the decades for systems that no longer exist.

Our Process

We size the liner to the specific appliance or fireplace — undersized or oversized liners both cause draft problems — and install it the full length of the flue, sealing connections properly at each end. A camera check afterward confirms a clean, continuous liner with no gaps.

Why Climate Matters Here

Older housing stock in any climate is more likely to need a liner check, but it's especially common in markets with a lot of pre-war construction, where chimneys were frequently built for heating systems that have long since been replaced.

FAQ

Quick Answers

How do I know if my chimney already has a liner?+
A camera inspection is the most reliable way to confirm — many older chimneys were relined informally over the years without clear records.
Does a gas fireplace need a different liner than a wood-burning one?+
Often yes — the liner needs to be sized and rated for the specific appliance and fuel type it's venting.
Is relining as disruptive as it sounds?+
Less than most homeowners expect — in most cases the liner is run from the top of the chimney without needing to open up walls or ceilings.
