When a Philadelphia chimney needs relining

  • Cracked or missing flue tiles, or tile shards turning up in the firebox
  • An unlined flue, which is common in older Philadelphia rowhomes
  • A new insert, stove or gas appliance that needs a flue sized to it
  • A carbon monoxide alarm that goes off when the appliance runs
  • Smoke or smell in the next room, which can mean gases are crossing a broken flue

An oversized masonry flue does not draw properly, and a cracked one lets combustion gases into the house. A stainless liner fixes both by giving the appliance a sealed flue the right diameter.

How we reline a chimney in Philadelphia

Measured, not guessed. The appliance decides the liner.

Inspection and measurement

A camera run down the flue shows what is left of the existing liner, and the appliance output sets the diameter.

Stainless, insulated where needed

A stainless liner is dropped the full height of the flue, insulated where the appliance or the code calls for it.

Sealed top and bottom

Connected at the appliance and terminated at the top of the stack, so nothing leaks into the chimney cavity.

Masonry put right first

There is no point lining a stack that is coming apart, so any masonry repair happens first.

Chimney liner questions from Philadelphia

How do I know if I need a liner?

You cannot tell from the firebox. It takes a camera run down the flue, which is part of a chimney inspection. Tile shards in the firebox are the one sign you can spot yourself.

Clay tile or stainless steel?

Clay tile is what most older Philadelphia chimneys were built with, and it cracks as the stack moves and heats. Stainless goes in now because it drops into an existing flue in one piece and is sized to the appliance.

Do I need a liner for a gas conversion?

Usually, yes. A gas appliance vents cooler and wetter than a wood fire, and an oversized masonry flue lets that moisture condense inside the brick. A correctly sized liner stops it.

Is a cracked liner really dangerous?

It is the thing an inspection most looks for. A broken flue can let combustion gases into the living space, and carbon monoxide is odorless. The EPA's summary of carbon monoxide indoors explains why.

How long does a liner last?

A stainless liner sized and fitted correctly is a long-term fix, not a patch, and it still wants the same annual sweep as any other flue. Call (215) 201-4371 about your Philadelphia flue.

If there is tile in your firebox or an alarm going off when the fire is lit, that is a flue problem.
