Chimney Liners in Tarzana and the San Fernando Valley
Most older chimneys use clay tile liners. Earthquakes, chimney fires and time all crack them, and a cracked liner lets heat reach the wood framing around the chimney and lets gases seep into the home.
A stainless steel liner runs the full height of the chimney inside the old flue. It restores a safe, continuous path for smoke and gases, and is also the right fix when switching to a gas insert or wood stove.

Common questions
How do I know if my liner is damaged?
Usually you can't tell from the fireplace. A Level 2 inspection with a camera scan of the flue is the way to find out.
How long does relining take?
Most relining jobs are done in a day.
Do I need a liner for a gas insert?
Yes. Gas inserts need a properly sized liner to vent correctly and safely.
