Cracked clay tile liners replaced with code-compliant stainless steel — the highest-stakes repair in the chimney system. Free on-site estimates.
Exact height, diameter, and appliance match confirmed before any material is ordered.
Cracked or failed clay tile removed safely before the new liner goes in.
Code-compliant liner sized specifically to your flue and appliance type.
Where applicable, insulation helps maintain proper draft and reduces creosote buildup.
Properly connected and sealed at the appliance end, not just dropped in place.
We confirm draft and clearance before we call the job done.
A liner problem is rarely obvious from the ground — this is exactly what an inspection is designed to catch.
Seen from inside the flue during a sweep, or flagged during a Level 2 inspection.
Pieces breaking off and landing in the firebox or smoke chamber is a clear failure sign.
Combustion byproducts escaping through a compromised liner rather than venting outside.
This is exactly the kind of issue a Level 2 video scan is designed to catch before it gets worse.
A new gas insert or wood stove often needs a liner sized differently than what's already there.
Liner jobs vary more than almost any other chimney repair — the estimate reflects your specific flue, not a generic number.
No service call fee, no obligation. Written quote with exact pricing before any work begins.
Taller or wider flues need more material and more labor to install correctly.
Bends and offsets add real complexity to the install compared to a straight run.
Wood stoves, gas inserts, and open fireplaces each call for different liner specs.
Tight attics, steep rooflines, or hard-to-reach chimneys add time to the job.
Tell us about your chimney and what appliance it serves.
We measure your flue and give you a written quote, no obligation.
Old liner removed, new stainless liner installed and connected.
We confirm draft and clearance, then back it for three years in writing.
There's no fixed price — it depends on flue height, diameter, whether the flue is straight or offset, and the appliance it serves. We measure on-site and give you a written quote before any work begins, at no charge.
Cracked clay tile generally can't be patched in place the way masonry can. Once a section is cracked, the standard fix is a full stainless steel liner sized to your flue, which also happens to perform better than the original clay tile.
Most residential installations are completed in a single day. Complex flues with offsets or difficult access can take longer.
Often, yes. Gas appliances typically require a differently sized liner than wood-burning ones, and installing the wrong size can cause venting problems. We'll confirm what your specific appliance needs.
Flexible liners bend to navigate offsets and are the more common choice for most residential retrofits. Rigid liners are used in straight flues where they fit. We'll recommend the right type for your chimney's shape.
It can be. A cracked liner can let combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, reach framing and living space instead of venting safely outside. This is one issue we don't recommend waiting on.
