Chimney Liners, New Castle CountyYour Local Chimney Liner Installers in New Castle County, DE
Older houses in Wilmington and New Castle usually have masonry chimneys first built for coal or wood that now vent a gas or oil boiler or a water heater. Those flues are often too large for modern equipment, and the old clay tiles may be cracked or missing. Exhaust that cools in an oversized flue condenses and wears down the mortar from inside. A stainless steel liner sized to the appliance protects the masonry and keeps the draft steady. We measure the flue, install and connect the liner and cap the top.

Chimney Liners for New Castle County Homes
Claymont's suburban subdivisions have included Claymont Addition, Worthland and Woodstream Gardens. Chimneys in those mid-century neighborhoods often still have their original clay tiles, and relining is common when the furnace or water heater is replaced.
Newark was founded in 1694 by Scots-Irish and Welsh settlers, and its oldest houses have chimneys built long before liners were standard. Adding a stainless liner is often what makes those chimneys safe for a modern stove or boiler.
We install chimney liners in Claymont, Newark, Wilmington, New Castle, Hockessin and Glasgow.
