Chimney Liner Installation & Replacement

What Is a Chimney Liner and Why It Matters

A chimney liner protects the chimney walls from heat, corrosion, and byproducts of combustion while helping ensure proper draft. Over time, liners can crack, deteriorate, or become unsafe due to age, moisture exposure, or chimney fires. A damaged liner can pose serious safety risks and is one of the most common reasons chimneys fail Level 2 inspections.
