Make an old fireplace safe to use again.

An older fireplace with a cracked or missing flue liner isn’t safe to burn in. We install a smooth wall stainless liner, parge the smoke chamber smooth, and add a top-sealing damper and insulation.

What’s included

  • Smooth wall stainless steel liner, most often 12 inches across and 25 to 35 feet long
  • Insulation around the liner
  • Parging of the smoke chamber so smoke moves up cleanly
  • A top-sealing damper that closes off the chimney from the top
  • Cap and top plate

Lifetime warranty on stainless steel liners

What it costs

$2,000 to $8,000

A typical fireplace liner job is about $3,500.

When a fireplace needs a liner

  • Cracked, offset or missing clay flue tiles
  • Smoke pushing into the room
  • An inspection turned up gaps in the flue
  • A damper that’s rusted shut or won’t seal
  • You want to use a fireplace that’s sat for years
  • Creosote that keeps building up fast

Fireplace Liners questions

What’s a top-sealing damper?

It’s a damper at the top of the chimney instead of down in the throat. It seals tighter when it’s closed, which keeps cold air, rain and animals out, and you open it with a cable from the firebox.

What’s parging?

Parging is a smooth coat of mortar over the inside of the smoke chamber. It fills gaps and steps in the brick so smoke and creosote don’t catch on them.

How long does it take?

Most fireplace liners are a one or two day job, depending on the chimney.
