Chimney Relining

Stainless Steel Chimney LinerStainless Steel Chimney Liner

Nicholas Chimney Stove & Fireplace are experts at relining chimneys with both cast in place solid masonry and stainless steel liners. We reline chimney flues damaged by chimney fires and flues being restored in old houses for structural and fire safety. We even reline new chimneys that were not built properly. Furnace flues, especially when converting from oil to high efficiency gas furnaces are very susceptible to rapid deterioration because of increased condensation inside the chimney.

Properly functioning flue liners are important in preventing Chimney Fires

They also help to protect your home from the excessive heat of a chimney fire. If cracks and gaps are present they are not able to do their job properly.
