What is a Chimney Liner?
Chimney liners are also known as chimney flue liners. They are an important part of your home’s venting system located inside your chimney. The liner is the vertical passageway where smoke and gases from your fireplace safely move through to exit your home.
Can I inspect my own Chimney Liner?
It's not recommended that you inspect or repair any parts of the flue on your own. It's best to contact an experienced professional who can properly diagnose any issues with accuracy.
Why Chimney Liners Are So Important
Your chimney liner plays a critical role in protecting your home from extreme heat and preventing harmful gases from leaking indoors and creating a fire or breathing hazard. If it is not in good condition, sparks from a fire may ignite the combustible material surrounding the chimney walls and cause severe damage.
Any sort of opening in the flue liner—from a small crack to a minor tear— can hurt the performance of your chimney system and put your home and family at risk. You can avoid such issues by having a trusted chimney sweep clean and maintain your chimney and examine the state of your liner to determine whether repair or a new installation is necessary.
The Benefits of a Properly Installed Chimney Liner
A properly installed chimney liner not only protects your home and family, but it can also help extend the lifespan of your chimney. Over time, the constant exposure to heat, moisture, and corrosive byproducts can cause damage to the interior of your chimney, leading to costly repairs or even chimney failure.
By investing in a quality chimney liner, such as a durable stainless steel liner, you can prevent these issues and ensure the longevity of your chimney. A stainless steel liner is resistant to corrosion, heat, and moisture, making it a reliable choice for protecting your chimney for years to come.
Benefits of a properly installed chimney liner:
- Prevents hazardous gases, such as carbon monoxide, from entering your home
- Prevents heat transfer to combustible materials, reducing the risk of chimney fires
- Keeps the interior of your chimney clean and free from debris, improving its efficiency
- Minimizes the formation of creosote, a highly flammable substance, reducing the risk of chimney fires
- Protects the structural integrity of your chimney, preventing costly repairs

Signs You Need a New Chimney Liner
In our 40+ years dealing with commercial and residential chimneys, we’ve seen it all when it comes to chimney liner problems. We understand that many homeowners are not qualified chimney specialists, so it can be difficult to diagnose your chimney liner’s condition on your own.
Whether you recently moved into a home that has a fireplace or have lived in your home for a while, here’s how you can tell if you need a new installation:
- Smoke leaking into the home
- Moisture damage
- Erosion
- Brick and mortar openings
- Carbon monoxide exposure
- Excessive soot accumulation
There are also many customers that aren’t even sure if they have a liner. Even if you don’t use your fireplace, if you ever need to, you should have one installed. A lack of liner can put you at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, house fires, and chimney damage.

Types of Liners We Install
At Rooftop Chimney Sweeps, we use high-quality liners for your fireplace and can select the best option for your home so it provides sufficient protection.
Some of the liners you can choose from include:
- Clay tile liners – This old-fashioned line option is still effective as it can tolerate high heat without getting damaged and can last upwards of 50 years if well maintained.
- Stainless steel liners – This liner type is rising in popularity due to its flexibility and affordability. They can withstand temperatures up to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit and come with a warranty. We recommend this type of liner for upgrading or replacing existing chimneys.
- Aluminum liners – Similar to stainless steel liners, aluminum varieties cost less but have a lower melting temperature at about 1215 degrees Fahrenheit max. It’s not meant for wood-burning fireplaces. We recommend these ideally for gas chimneys.
