Your Local Chimney Liner Pros in Lehigh County, PA

One of the most common chimney problems in Lehigh County starts with a new furnace. When an old furnace is replaced with a high-efficiency model that vents out the side of the house through plastic pipe, the water heater is left alone in a masonry flue far too big for it. Its cooler exhaust may not draft well and can condense inside the chimney, wearing down mortar and tile. A stainless steel liner sized to the water heater or boiler fixes that. We measure, install, connect and cap it.

Chimney Liners for Lehigh County Homes

In many East and South Side Allentown twins and singles from the 1940s through the 1960s, the chimney was built to vent a furnace and a water heater together. When the furnace moves to a sidewall vent, relining for the water heater alone is usually the fix.

Lower Macungie had 32,426 people in 2020, making it the second-largest population center in Lehigh County after Allentown. Its mix of older farmhouses and newer homes means we reline everything from unlined stone flues to clay tile, each sized to the appliance it serves.

We install chimney liners in Allentown, Lower Macungie, Whitehall, Emmaus, Salisbury Township and South Whitehall.

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 Lehigh County

Why is my water heater suddenly backdrafting?
If the furnace that shared the flue was replaced recently, the water heater may not produce enough warm exhaust to draft up the large flue on its own. That can push fumes back into the basement. A liner sized to the water heater is the standard fix, and it should be checked right away.
Do I need a liner for a wood stove in an old chimney?
Yes. A stove needs a liner sized to its outlet running the full height of the chimney. It improves the draft, cuts creosote buildup and protects the old flue from the higher heat of a stove.
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.
