Chimney Liner Replacement
Replacing a cracked or corroded liner that's no longer safe.
Learn moreLiner repair addresses damage in an existing flue liner — gaps at clay-tile joints, minor cracks, or connections that have come loose. Where the damage is limited, repair restores the liner's integrity without a full replacement.

Even small liner damage matters, because the liner's whole job is to contain heat and gas. A gap at a tile joint can let combustion gases into the masonry or heat toward framing. Repairing limited damage promptly keeps a small problem from becoming an unsafe flue.
We scan the flue to see exactly what's damaged and how far it extends.
We decide whether repair is sound or replacement is safer.
We seal joints or address the damaged section using appropriate methods.
We confirm the repair with another look up the flue.
Cracked and offset clay tiles are common in the older masonry chimneys around Pittsburgh, often the result of age, past chimney fires or freeze-thaw movement. A camera scan tells us whether the tiles can be repaired or whether a stainless liner is the safer answer.
Not always. Limited, localized damage can often be repaired. Widespread cracking or a badly deteriorated liner is safer to replace — usually with a stainless liner. A camera inspection is how we tell the difference.
We run a video camera the length of the flue. It shows the liner's true condition, which no visual check from the firebox can.
