Chimney Liner Replacement
When a liner is beyond repair, relining with stainless steel restores safe venting — often better than the original.
When a liner has failed — cracked clay tile throughout, damage from a chimney fire, or an unlined flue that never met modern standards — replacement is the answer. Relining with a properly sized stainless steel liner restores safe venting and often performs better than the original, with improved draft and easier maintenance.
Roosevelt Chimney Works relines chimneys throughout Greater Pittsburgh. It's one of the most impactful safety upgrades an older chimney can receive, transforming a questionable flue into one that vents reliably for decades.
When replacement is the right call
- Widespread cracking across a clay-tile liner.
- Liner damage from a chimney fire.
- An unlined chimney serving a modern appliance.
- Repeated liner problems that repairs can't keep up with.
- Adding an insert or appliance that needs a matched liner.
How relining works
We size a stainless steel liner precisely to your appliance and fuel, then run it the full length of the flue, insulating it where appropriate to improve draft and protect the surrounding masonry. It's connected correctly at the appliance and topped with a proper cap.
A correctly installed stainless liner gives you reliable draft, easier cleaning, and long service life — frequently outperforming the clay-tile liner it replaces. We handle the whole process and confirm the finished flue vents safely.
Pittsburgh & Western PA context
Relining is especially common in Pittsburgh's older housing stock, where original clay-tile liners have simply reached the end of their service life. For homeowners adding a modern wood or gas insert, a new stainless liner is often part of doing the job correctly.
