Short answer
Installing a chimney liner puts a continuous, sealed pipe inside the flue so heat and combustion gases stay contained. Chimney relining is needed when clay tiles crack, when an insert or new appliance needs a matching flue size, or when the flue was never lined. Stainless steel is the usual choice for a reline.

What a Chimney Liner Does
A chimney liner is the protective inner wall of the flue. It keeps hot gases and sparks away from the brick and the wood framing around the chimney, it contains the acidic condensation that combustion produces, and it gives the smoke a smooth path of the right size so the fireplace drafts well. NFPA 211 treats a sound liner as a basic requirement for a chimney in use.
Clay Tile, Stainless Steel and Poured Liners
Most older masonry chimneys have clay flue tiles. They work well until they crack from heat, settling or a chimney fire, and cracked tiles are hard to repair in place. Chimney liner replacement with stainless steel is the common fix: a round, continuous pipe dropped down the flue and connected at the top and bottom.
A stainless steel chimney liner installation suits wood fireplaces, wood inserts and gas appliances when the grade and size match the appliance. Chimney flue liner installation with a cast-in-place mix is another option for some masonry flues, and we will tell you if your chimney is a better candidate for one.
Sizing and Insulation
A liner that is too large makes smoke cool and drift; one that is too small chokes the fire. We size the liner from the fireplace opening or the appliance maker's instructions, never by guesswork. An insulated chimney liner helps the flue stay warm, draft better and build up less creosote, and it is often required to meet clearances in older chimneys.
Relining for Inserts and Gas
Adding a fireplace insert or switching fuel almost always means relining the chimney, because the new appliance needs a flue matched to its outlet. Flue liner replacement for a gas appliance uses a liner listed for gas and sized to the appliance, with the cap and termination the maker requires.
When we reline a chimney we also fit a top plate and cap so rain stays out and the liner stays centered.

Questions We Answer Often
How long do chimney liners last?
A clay flue tile liner can last for decades if it is never cracked by heat or settling. A good stainless steel liner usually lasts many years when it is the right grade for the fuel and the cap keeps rain out; regular sweeping helps any liner last longer.
How do I know if my chimney liner needs replacing?
Pieces of clay tile in the firebox, cracks or gaps seen during a sweep, or a past chimney fire all point to a damaged liner. So does a new insert or appliance that needs a different flue size. An inspection of the flue confirms it before any work is planned.
Do chimney liners need to be insulated?
Many do. Insulation keeps the flue warmer, which improves draft and reduces creosote and condensation, and it is often needed to meet clearance rules in older chimneys. The appliance maker's instructions and the chimney's construction decide whether yours needs it.
What are chimney liners made of?
Chimney liners are made of clay tile, stainless steel or a cast-in-place cement mix. Clay is common in older masonry chimneys; stainless steel is the usual choice for relining, and the grade must suit the fuel the fireplace or appliance burns.
Can a liner be added to an existing chimney?
Yes. A stainless steel liner is fed down the existing flue from the roof and connected at the damper or appliance outlet. If the old flue is too narrow, some tile may need to be removed first. The chimney keeps its outside look while the inside is renewed.
Will a new liner fix a smoky fireplace?
A liner fixes smoking when the flue was the wrong size or damaged. If the smoke comes from a closed damper, a short chimney or a room that is starved of air, the liner alone will not help; we check those causes first, then size the liner to the opening.
