Why Chimney Liner Installation Matters
The liner is the only thing between combustion gas and the structure of the house. When clay tile cracks — from a flue fire, from settlement, or simply from age — the flue is no longer a sealed passage, and hot gas and carbon monoxide can reach framing and wall cavities through the gap. Unlined masonry chimneys, common in older housing, never had that protection in the first place. Relining also fixes a quieter problem: an oversized flue. A modern high-efficiency appliance vented into a flue built for an open fireplace runs cool, condenses, and produces creosote and acidic moisture far faster than it should. Sizing the liner to the appliance is as much of the job as installing it.

Benefits of Chimney Liner Installation
Sized to the appliance, not the opening
Liner diameter is calculated from the appliance's venting requirement. An oversized flue is the most common cause of persistent draft and creosote problems, and the most commonly ignored.
Listed stainless, insulated to spec
UL-listed stainless steel, insulated where clearance to combustibles requires it, installed to the terms the listing actually specifies.
Full-length, continuous run
One continuous liner from appliance connection to cap, with no field-improvised joints inside the chase.
Cast-in-place where relining will not work
Where the flue is offset, deteriorated or irregular, a cast-in-place liner rebuilds a smooth sealed passage and adds structural strength to the masonry.
New cap and top plate
The install is finished with a sealed top plate and a cap, so the work does not end with an open annulus collecting rain.
Written warranty
The liner warranty and the installation terms are handed over in writing, along with the photographs of the completed run.

How We Do It
Camera survey and sizing
The full flue is scanned and measured, and the liner size is calculated from the appliance's listed venting requirement.
Quote against findings
You get the camera footage, the sizing rationale and a fixed scope before anything is ordered.
Prepare the flue
Obstructions, damaged tile and old connectors are removed, and offsets are addressed so the liner can run continuously.
Install and insulate
The liner is run full length, insulated as clearance requires, and connected to the appliance to the manufacturer's terms.
Top plate, cap and seal
A sealed top plate and cap finish the run, keeping water out of the annulus and the masonry.
Test and document
Draft is verified, the completed run is photographed, and the warranty paperwork is handed over.
Chimney Liner Installation Questions
Camera scanning answers it. Isolated damage low in the flue can sometimes be repaired in place. Cracking through multiple tiles, joint separation along the run, or any unlined flue serving an appliance means relining — and a chimney fire almost always does, because the damage is rarely limited to where it is visible.
A quality insulated stainless liner in a wood-burning application is generally warrantied for the life of the home under normal use and annual maintenance. Acidic gas appliances are harder on liners; grade selection matters, which is why the appliance and fuel determine the material rather than the price sheet.
Usually yes. Flexible stainless follows moderate offsets, and severe ones are handled by opening a limited access point or by using a cast-in-place liner that forms to the existing passage. We establish which during the camera survey, not on the day.
It fixes draft problems caused by an oversized or leaking flue, which is most of them. It will not fix a draft problem caused by house pressure, a blocked cap, an undersized flue or a room sealed too tight for makeup air — which is why we diagnose before quoting.
