A chimney liner is a crucial component of your chimney system that helps direct the flow of combustion gases safely out of your home, protecting both your chimney and your home from fire hazards and carbon monoxide intrusion. Over time, chimney liners, especially older clay tile liners, can crack, corrode, or degrade, compromising the safety and efficiency of your chimney. Relining involves replacing or restoring the liner to ensure proper venting and to maintain the chimney’s integrity. At Dave's Chimney Service, we specialize in upgrading old clay tile liners to modern stainless steel liners, which are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive gases. A stainless steel liner not only improves your chimney's performance but also adds durability and longevity. This upgrade provides peace of mind, as all our stainless steel liners come with a limited lifetime warranty.

If your chimney liner is cracked, corroded, or damaged, replacing it is essential for protecting your home and improving chimney function. We recommend a stainless steel liner, as it’s built to last and provides a durable surface for venting. If your existing liner is damaged but still salvageable, relining with a custom-fitted stainless steel liner will restore the safety and efficiency of your chimney. Plus, all our stainless steel liners come with a manufacturer limited lifetime warranty, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
Many chimneys were originally built with traditional clay tile liners, which can crack, degrade, or fail over time. At Dave's Chimney Service, we offer the opportunity to upgrade your chimney to a modern stainless steel liner, providing enhanced durability, safety, and efficiency. Stainless steel liners are designed to withstand the high temperatures and corrosive by-products of combustion, offering a long-lasting, reliable solution. Upgrading to a stainless steel liner ensures your chimney operates at its best, improving venting performance and reducing the risk of fire hazards. Plus, with our professional installation, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a limited liffetime warranty.
Over time, some clay chimney liners can experience deterioration or have missing joints, which can compromise the integrity of your chimney system. At Dave's Chimney Service, we offer specialized repairs using HeatShield, a high-performance joint sealant designed to fill in gaps and seal missing joints in your clay liner. It’s important to note that this repair service is only applicable for missing joints, not for cracked or damaged tiles. HeatShield provides an effective solution, keeping your chimney in optimal condition and functioning efficiently. With this repair, you can restore proper venting without the need for a full liner replacement, saving time and money while maintaining the safety of your home.

A chimney liner is a protective lining inside your chimney that helps safely direct smoke, gases, and creosote away from your home. It prevents heat damage, reduces the risk of chimney fires, and ensures proper ventilation for your fireplace, woodstove, or furnace.
While there are several types of chimney liners available, including clay, aluminum, and cast-in-place options, at Dave's Chimney Service, we exclusively use stainless steel liners. Stainless steel is built to last, providing unmatched durability and resistance to the high temperatures and corrosive gases produced by combustion. These liners are custom-fit to your chimney, ensuring a perfect seal and optimal venting performance. Additionally, all of our stainless steel liners come with a lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind knowing your chimney is protected for years to come.
If your chimney is cracked, damaged, or corroded, or if it no longer meets safety standards, it may need a new liner. Additionally, signs of poor ventilation, excessive creosote buildup, or carbon monoxide issues can indicate a need for replacement. If you’ve had a chimney fire or suspect that you’ve experienced one, it’s crucial to replace your liner as well. Chimney fires can cause significant damage to the liner, compromising its ability to safely vent gases and protect your home.
The lifespan of a chimney liner depends on the material used and the amount of use your chimney gets. Stainless steel liners are built to last and can easily last 20+ years with proper care, and they come with a manufacturer lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term protection. On the other hand, clay liners may need replacing every 20-30 years depending on their condition and use. Regular maintenance and inspections can help extend the life of your liner and ensure safe chimney function for years to come.
While it is possible to install a chimney liner yourself, it’s generally recommended to hire a professional. Proper installation is crucial to ensure the liner is securely fitted and complies with local codes, reducing the risk of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. Additionally, installing a chimney liner can be physically demanding and hazardous, with risks of injury if not done correctly. To avoid these dangers and ensure your chimney operates safely, it’s best to rely on a certified professional for the job.
Installing a chimney liner improves efficency by minimizing heat damage and carbon monoxide leaks. It also enhances ventilation, reduces creosote buildup, and increases the efficiency of your heating system. A chimney liner can also help prevent costly repairs down the road.
The cost of installing a chimney liner depends on factors like the size of your chimney, the material chosen, roof conditions, size of home, and labor costs in your area.
A chimney liner can help reduce the risk of chimney fires by providing a smoother, more heat-resistant surface that prevents flammable creosote from building up and igniting.
Regular chimney inspections and cleanings are essential for maintaining your chimney liner. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends annual inspections to ensure there’s no buildup of creosote, debris, or animal nests, all of which can affect the performance of your liner and pose safety hazards. At Dave's Chimney Service, we offer thorough annual inspections to keep your chimney in top condition and help extend the life of your liner.
In some cases, a chimney liner can be repaired if it has minor cracks or damage. For example, we can seal missing joints using HeatShield, a reliable joint sealant. However, if the liner is extensively damaged, corroded, or compromised—such as with cracked tiles—we recommend a full relining. Relining ensures that your chimney functions safely and efficiently. A professional chimney technician can assess the damage and recommend the best course of action for your specific situation.
