Chimney Liner Installation in Seattle
A chimney liner is the inner pipe that carries smoke and gases out of your home and protects the masonry from heat and moisture. When a clay tile liner is cracked, or a new appliance needs a different flue size, we install a stainless steel liner.

Signs to look for
- Cracked or broken flue tiles
A camera scan can show cracks that you cannot see from the firebox.
- A new insert, stove or gas appliance
New appliances often need a liner sized for them.
- Smoke or fumes in the house
A damaged liner can let gases escape into the home.

Before and after
Why it matters in Seattle
Many older Seattle chimneys were built with clay tile liners that crack over time. A new liner gives the flue a continuous, sealed pathway.
Based on industry guidance: NFPA 211, CSIA.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a liner?
If your flue is cracked, unlined or too large for a new appliance, a liner is usually the fix. A camera inspection tells us.
Why stainless steel?
Stainless steel liners hold up to heat and moisture and fit many chimneys.
Is a liner required when I change fuel type?
Changing the fuel or appliance often means the flue must be checked and may need a liner.
