Chimney Liner Replacement — Restore Safety and Performance
A damaged chimney liner is one of the most serious chimney deficiencies. The liner contains combustion products, prevents heat transfer to nearby combustibles, and blocks toxic gases from leaking into your home. When your liner fails, replacement is urgent. At Chimney Repair Group, we provide expert liner replacement using the highest quality materials available.
When Liner Replacement Is Necessary
Liner replacement is needed when: video inspection reveals cracked, separated, or deteriorated clay tiles; an existing metal liner has corroded through; the chimney is unlined (common in pre-1940 homes); you're changing fuel types (oil to gas, or adding a wood stove); or after a chimney fire that damaged the liner.
Our Replacement Process
We begin with a thorough video inspection to document existing liner condition and chimney geometry. Based on findings, we determine whether the old liner needs removal or can be left in place with the new liner installed inside. We use premium 316Ti stainless steel — the highest grade available, resistant to all fuel types. Each liner is sized precisely for your appliance and chimney height to ensure optimal performance.
Insulation for Maximum Performance
We insulate replacement liners with high-temperature vermiculite blankets for wood-burning applications and recommend insulation for all fuel types. Insulation maintains higher flue gas temperatures for better draft, reduces condensation, and provides an additional safety barrier. It's a critical addition that dramatically improves liner performance.

How long does liner replacement take?
Most stainless steel liner replacements are completed in 4-6 hours. If old clay liner removal is necessary, it may take a full day. You can use your fireplace the same evening after stainless liner installation.
How much does liner replacement cost?
Stainless steel liner replacement typically costs $1,500-$3,500 depending on chimney height, liner size, and whether old liner removal is needed. This includes the liner, insulation, top plate, cap, and installation.
What's the difference between repair and replacement?
Repair addresses minor issues like small cracks. Replacement installs an entirely new liner inside the chimney. When damage is extensive, multiple tiles are affected, or the existing liner is the wrong size, replacement is the proper solution.
How long does a replacement liner last?
Our 316Ti stainless steel liners with insulation come with a lifetime warranty and typically last 25-50+ years with proper maintenance. They far outlast the original clay tile liners they replace.
