Chimney Liner Installation Process Foster Center

Here's Exactly How We Install Your Liner

First, we thoroughly inspect your chimney flue and take precise measurements to determine exactly what size and type of liner your specific heating system needs. We also clean out any debris, old materials, or obstructions that might interfere with proper installation.

Next, we prepare your chimney structure for the new liner. Sometimes this means carefully removing damaged terra cotta tiles or making minor repairs to ensure the new stainless steel liner fits properly and seals correctly at both ends.

Then we carefully install your new certified chimney liner. We guide the flexible stainless steel liner down through the flue, making sure it’s properly connected at both your appliance and the chimney top. Every connection is sealed and tested to ensure proper draft and complete safety.

Finally, we test the entire system to make sure everything is working correctly before we leave. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we did, how your new system works, and specific maintenance recommendations to keep your new liner performing at its best for years to come.

A flexible, corrugated stainless steel flue liner is in the process of being inserted into a traditional red brick chimney atop a rooftop. The flue liner coils slightly as it descends into the chimney opening, which is surrounded by multiple red clay chimney pots. Temporary scaffolding is positioned around the chimney for worker access and safety. In the background, residential rooftops, leafy green trees, and a clear blue sky create a bright and peaceful suburban setting. The installation appears to be part of a chimney repair or upgrade project.
