Chimney Liners & Relining

The liner is the part of the chimney that actually does the job — carrying hot flue gases safely out of your home. When clay tiles crack or an old flue is unlined, heat and carbon monoxide can reach places they should never be. Relining fixes that permanently.

Why stainless steel

  • Continuous, seamless flue from appliance to cap — no joints to fail
  • Rated for wood, gas, oil and pellet appliances
  • Insulated installs improve draft and reduce creosote buildup
  • Lifetime-grade material that typically outlasts the rest of the system
The cost of waiting: A compromised liner leaks heat and carbon monoxide into the house. It is the one chimney problem you never wait on.

When relining is the answer

  • A Level 2 inspection finds cracked or shifted clay flue tiles
  • You’re installing a new furnace, boiler, or wood stove into an existing flue
  • The flue is the wrong size for the appliance (a major cause of poor draft)
  • After a chimney fire — damaged liners must be replaced, not patched

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a liner last?

A properly sized and installed stainless steel liner is typically the last liner the house will ever need — most carry substantial manufacturer warranties.

Does a new furnace really need the chimney relined?

Often, yes. Modern high-efficiency appliances vent cooler, wetter exhaust that destroys old masonry flues. Correct liner sizing protects the appliance and the chimney.

What is the white staining on my chimney?

Efflorescence — minerals left behind as moisture moves through the masonry. It’s often a symptom of flue gas condensation from an unlined or oversized flue.
