Your Local Chimney Liner Pros in Philadelphia, PA

A lot of Philadelphia chimneys were built of brick without any modern liner, and many fireplaces were closed off long ago while the flue kept venting a boiler or water heater. Gas exhaust carries water vapor, and when it cools in a bare or oversized brick flue it condenses and eats at the mortar from inside. A stainless steel liner sized to the appliance stops that damage and helps the flue draw properly. Our crew measures the flue, installs the liner and connector and caps the top.

Chimney Liners for Philadelphia Homes

Mayfair was farmland until building began in the 1920s, and the neighborhood came together in the years after World War II. Homes from that stretch often have clay flue tiles that have now held decades of exhaust, and many are ready for a liner when the boiler is replaced.

After World War II, demand for homes in Germantown brought a wave of new housing construction alongside its colonial-era buildings. That mix means we see everything from bare brick flues to mid-century clay tile, and we size each liner to the house and the appliance it serves.

We install chimney liners in Germantown, Mayfair, Bustleton, Fishtown, Manayunk and Society Hill.

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 Philadelphia

My boiler was replaced. Does my chimney need a liner?
Very often it does. Newer gas boilers and water heaters run cooler and produce more condensation, and an old brick flue sized for coal or oil is usually far too large. A liner sized to the new appliance protects the chimney and keeps the venting safe.
Can a liner go into a chimney that shares a wall with my neighbor?
Yes. The liner runs inside your flue only, so it does not affect the neighbor's side. It also helps seal off small gaps in the old masonry that could otherwise let fumes travel between houses.
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.
