Chimney Liner Installation
A liner cannot be selected responsibly from chimney dimensions alone. We review the existing flue, appliance and fuel, venting requirements, access, permits, and the qualified trades required before finalizing a relining scope.

What chimney liners service means—and when it matters.
What it is
Chimney relining installs an approved liner system inside a chimney to vent a specific appliance and fuel. Selection depends on the appliance listing, flue dimensions, condition, clearances, fuel, connector, termination, local code, manufacturer instructions, and the findings of an appropriate inspection.
Why it matters
The liner contains combustion products and helps protect surrounding construction from heat and corrosive byproducts. A damaged, missing, incompatible, or improperly sized liner can contribute to poor draft, condensation, deterioration, or unsafe venting.
When to schedule
Relining may be recommended after inspection identifies material damage or incompatibility, after a chimney fire, when an appliance or fuel changes, or when the existing flue cannot safely serve the intended system. It should not be sold without confirming the appliance and venting design.
Why not to ignore it
Possible consequences of leaving the condition unresolved.
- Combustion gases or heat reaching unintended areas
- Poor draft or condensation from incorrect sizing
- Accelerated corrosion from an incompatible liner
- Unsafe appliance connection
- Permit, listing, or inspection failure when requirements are ignored
Common signs
When to request an assessment.
- An inspection identifies a damaged or missing liner
- A new appliance or fuel type changes venting requirements
- A chimney fire or damaging event may have affected the flue
- The existing liner is improperly sized or incompatible
- A Level 2 inspection recommends further liner work

Service questions
Chimney Liners: what to know.
Does every older chimney need a new liner?+
No. The decision should be based on inspection findings, condition, compatibility, and the appliance or fuel being vented.
Which liner material will be used?+
Material and sizing depend on the appliance, fuel, flue condition, manufacturer instructions, codes, and the approved design. Those details are confirmed in the written proposal.
Are permits or licensed trades required?+
They may be. Appliance connection, gas work, structural conditions, and local requirements are reviewed before the project is contracted.
