Chimney Relining FAQ's
What is a chimney liner, and why is it important?
A chimney liner is a protective layer inside the chimney that safeguards the chimney walls from heat and corrosion. It also improves the efficiency of your fireplace or heating system and ensures the safe exit of smoke and gases.
How do I know if my chimney needs relining?
Signs that your chimney may need relining include:
- Cracked or deteriorating chimney tiles
- Excessive creosote buildup
- Poor ventilation or smoke entering your home
- Upgrading to a new fireplace or heating appliance that requires a different liner size
What are the different types of chimney liners?
- Clay Tile Liners: Common in older homes but prone to cracking over time.
- Metal Liners (Stainless Steel or Aluminum): Durable and suitable for wood, gas, or oil-burning appliances.
- Cast-in-Place Liners: Cement-like material that forms a seamless, insulated liner.
How long does a chimney liner last?
The lifespan depends on the material:
- Clay Tile Liners: 50+ years if well-maintained but can crack easily.
- Stainless Steel Liners: 15-25 years or more with proper care.
- Cast-in-Place Liners: 50+ years due to their durability and insulation properties.
Is chimney relining necessary when converting a fireplace?
Yes, if you’re switching fuel types (e.g., from wood to gas) or upgrading to a more efficient heating system, you’ll likely need a new liner to accommodate the different venting requirements.
How long does the relining process take?
Typically, chimney relining can be completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity and condition of the chimney.

5 Signs Your Chimney Needs Replacement
Cracked or Spalling Bricks
If you notice cracked, crumbling, or flaking bricks on your chimney, it’s a sign of severe structural damage. Spalling occurs when moisture penetrates the bricks, causing them to deteriorate. Ignoring this can lead to collapsing masonry and costly repairs.
Damaged Mortar Joints
Gaps or cracks in the mortar joints weaken the chimney’s stability, making it vulnerable to water damage and harsh weather conditions. Damaged mortar can cause bricks to loosen, posing a safety risk and requiring chimney replacement.
Leaning or Unstable Structure
A leaning chimney indicates serious foundational issues. Structural instability can result from shifting soil, water damage, or poor construction. If your chimney is tilting or separating from the house, it’s time for a complete replacement.
Excessive Creosote Buildup
Thick, black creosote deposits inside the chimney not only reduce efficiency but also increase the risk of chimney fires. If routine cleaning doesn’t resolve the buildup, the chimney lining may be compromised, necessitating replacement.
Water Damage or Rust
Water stains on the walls, rusted damper or firebox, and musty odors are signs of water infiltration. Persistent moisture can cause structural deterioration, mold growth, and damage to the chimney liner, warranting a full replacement.
