Why It Matters
Your chimney liner is a critical part of your home's safety system. It protects the chimney structure, keeps heat and gases contained, and helps your fireplace or heating appliance work properly.
A damaged or missing liner can let heat reach wood framing, let carbon monoxide escape and cause the masonry to break down from the inside.
A properly sized liner helps your stove or fireplace draft correctly. It keeps smoke moving up and out, and protects your chimney from costly damage.
What We Find on Inspections
Liner damage is usually hidden inside the chimney. These are real images from our ChimScan® camera inspections.

Heat and freeze-thaw cycles crack clay tiles, letting heat and gases reach the chimney structure.
Gaps between flue tiles let smoke, creosote and carbon monoxide escape into the masonry.
Older chimneys may have no liner at all, leaving bare brick exposed to heat and acidic gases.
Cracked tiles, debris and blockages restrict draft and can cause smoke to back up.
Other warning signs include corrosion or rust, smoke or draft problems and excessive creosote buildup. The only way to know for sure is a camera inspection.

A liner is the protective lining inside your flue. It carries smoke and gases out of your home and protects the chimney's masonry and nearby framing from heat.
