Your Family's Safety Is Worth It

Your chimney liner is literally the barrier between dangerous combustion gases and your living space. When it’s cracked, deteriorated, or missing entirely, you’re putting your family at risk every time you light a fire or turn on your heating system.

A properly installed chimney liner prevents carbon monoxide from leaking into your home, stops heat transfer that can ignite nearby wood, and ensures efficient ventilation. You’ll sleep better knowing your family is protected from the silent dangers that come with a compromised chimney system.

The peace of mind alone is worth the investment. But you’ll also see improved heating efficiency, reduced creosote buildup, and protection for your home’s value.

Chimney Liner Installation Process Westport

Straightforward Installation Process

First, we inspect your existing chimney to determine the best liner type for your specific system. We check for structural issues, measure your flue, and assess what appliances connect to your chimney.

Next, we prepare your chimney by cleaning it thoroughly and making any necessary repairs. If you have an old clay liner that’s cracked or deteriorated, we’ll remove it safely.

Then we install your new liner, typically a durable stainless steel system that’s sized correctly for your appliances. We connect all appliances properly, seal everything according to code, and test the system to ensure it’s working efficiently.

Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through what we’ve done. You’ll get documentation of the work and warranty information for your records.

Complete Liner Solutions for Every Application

We install liners for all types of heating systems – wood fireplaces, gas fireplaces, oil furnaces, and gas furnaces. Each application requires specific sizing and materials to work safely and efficiently.

In Westport’s coastal climate, stainless steel liners are particularly important because they resist corrosion from moisture and salt air. Many homes in our area have original clay liners that are deteriorating faster due to these environmental factors.

We also handle complex installations where multiple appliances share a chimney system. This requires careful planning and precise installation to ensure each appliance vents properly without interference.

Our service includes all necessary components – the liner itself, insulation when needed, connection hardware, and a new chimney cap if required. You get everything needed for a complete, code-compliant installation.

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.

How do I know if my chimney liner needs replacement?

Several signs indicate your chimney liner needs attention. White staining on your chimney exterior means water is getting through cracks in the liner and dissolving the mortar.Rust on your damper or firebox, odd smells coming from your chimney, or poor draft when using your fireplace are all warning signs. If your home was built more than 15 years ago and you’ve never had the liner inspected, it’s time for a professional evaluation.The most dangerous sign is actually no sign at all – carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless. That’s why we recommend annual inspections even if everything seems fine.
Clay liners were standard in older homes but crack and deteriorate over time, especially in Massachusetts weather. They’re also difficult to clean and can’t handle the acidic byproducts from modern high-efficiency appliances.Stainless steel liners are corrosion-resistant, smooth-walled for better draft, and virtually maintenance-free. They’re sized precisely for your appliances, which improves efficiency and safety.Clay liners typically last 15-20 years before developing problems. Quality stainless steel liners can last 50+ years with proper installation and minimal maintenance.
