Chimney Relining

Chimney relining involves installing a new liner inside your chimney flue to safely contain combustion byproducts and direct them out of your home. If your current liner is cracked, deteriorating, or missing altogether, relining is a must if you want to keep using your chimney system safely.

A damaged liner can lead to dangerous conditions, including chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks. Whether you use a wood-burning fireplace, gas appliance, or oil furnace, the right liner ensures your system runs efficiently and safely all year long. Relining is done to protect your chimney’s masonry exterior, which is not built to withstand the heat of fumes escaping through the interior of your chimney.

There are a few signs your chimney may be due for a reline, such as cracked or missing flue tiles, rust, moisture, or masonry debris in your fireplace or on your damper, strong odors of smoke even when your fireplace isn’t being used, or a chimney inspection that reveals damage to your chimney’s interior or an improper type of chimney liner in place.

Over time, different materials have been used to line chimneys, including materials that we now recognize as harmful or poor-performing, such as asbestos or mortar mix. Chimney Doctors uses high-quality stainless steel liners and industry-approved methods to make sure your new liner lasts and keeps your home protected.
