Our Chimney Liner Installation Process
Professional liner installation begins with a comprehensive Level 2 video inspection to document interior chimney conditions, measure flue dimensions, and identify any obstructions or damage requiring attention before liner placement. This diagnostic step ensures we select properly sized materials and address underlying issues that could compromise the new liner's performance.
For stainless steel installations, we carefully insert the liner from the top of the chimney, connecting it securely to your heating appliance at the bottom and capping it properly at the crown. Insulation wrapping may be added to improve draft performance and protect against condensation. Cast-in-place installations involve preparing the chimney interior, inserting a forming tube, pumping the specialized liner mixture into the space, and allowing proper curing time before removal of the form.
All installations include proper connection hardware, rain caps, and top sealing to prevent water entry. We ensure compliance with local building codes and manufacturer specifications, and we test draft performance before completing the job.
Maintaining Your Chimney Liner
Even the best liner requires regular maintenance to perform safely over its expected lifespan. Annual inspections allow early detection of corrosion, separation at connections, or damage from chimney fires. Regular cleaning removes creosote and soot that can become corrosive when mixed with moisture, particularly in Florida's humid environment.
Keeping your chimney cap in good condition prevents rain entry that accelerates liner deterioration. Addressing minor issues promptly—such as resealing connections or replacing damaged insulation—extends liner life and maintains safe operation. Proper maintenance protects your investment and ensures your heating system continues operating efficiently and safely for years to come.
