Chimney Liners Done Right in Brooklyn, NY

A Brooklyn chimney today mostly carries boiler exhaust, not smoke. Gas is the fuel in about 72% of the borough's occupied homes, and its exhaust is cool and wet. In an old unlined or oversized flue that moisture condenses on the inner walls and eats at the mortar from the inside. A correctly sized liner restores the draft and protects the masonry. When an old boiler is swapped for a more efficient unit, the flue often needs relining to match, and our crew handles the sizing for you.

Chimney Liners for Brooklyn Homes

Housing in East New York is mostly semi-detached homes, two-to-four family houses and apartment buildings. In a multi-family house one flue may serve the boiler and water heater for every unit, so the liner has to be sized for the combined load.

Midwood filled in during the 1920s with large middle-class housing tracts and apartment buildings. Many of those chimneys have clay tile liners now close to a century old, and cracked or offset tiles are a common reason we recommend a stainless steel liner.

We install liners in East New York, Cypress Hills, Midwood, Crown Heights and Bushwick.

When to Call Us

  • Cracked or missing flue tiles
  • You are adding a stove or insert
  • Your boiler or water heater was replaced
  • Pieces of tile in the firebox
  • Draft problems you cannot explain

How the Job Goes

  1. Check the flue

    We find the size and condition of the flue and what is venting into it.

  2. Size the liner

    The liner is sized to the appliance it serves, not just to the chimney.

  3. Install

    A stainless steel liner is run from the top and connected at the bottom.

  4. Cap and test

    We cap the top and confirm the draft before we leave.

Chimney Liners Questions in Brooklyn

The boiler in my Brooklyn building was replaced. Does the chimney need a new liner?
Often it does. A newer, more efficient boiler sends cooler exhaust up the flue, and a masonry flue sized for the old unit can be too big, which lets moisture condense inside. We measure the flue and the new appliance and tell you whether a liner is needed.
What liner material do you use on Brooklyn boiler flues?
For most gas and oil boiler flues we install stainless steel liners sized to the appliance. They stand up to the moisture and acids in exhaust and slide inside an existing brick chimney without opening walls. The written estimate explains the choice for your flue.
Why does the liner size matter?
A flue that is too big or too small for the appliance can draft poorly and build up deposits. The appliance maker states what it needs.
