Relining installs a new, correctly-sized flue liner when the original clay tile is cracked, the flue is unlined, or you've changed appliances. The liner is what safely carries smoke and gases out of your home — a compromised one is both a fire and carbon-monoxide risk.
The flue liner protects your home from the heat and corrosive byproducts of combustion. When clay tiles crack — often after a chimney fire, or simply from decades of thermal cycling — the gaps let heat reach nearby framing and let carbon monoxide seep into living spaces. Older Quincy-area chimneys are sometimes unlined entirely, which never met modern safety standards.
We reline with marine-grade stainless steel sized to your specific appliance, or with a cast-in-place system where the masonry needs reinforcement as well. Correct sizing matters: an oversized flue drafts poorly and lets creosote build up, while an undersized one restricts the appliance. We match the liner to the stove, insert, furnace, or open fireplace it serves.
Every relining is done to NFPA 211 standards, finished with a proper cap, and documented. If you're not sure whether your existing liner is intact, we can run a camera inspection of the flue first so you only pay for the work you actually need.
