Chimney Liner Installation Process Johnston

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your existing chimney to determine the correct liner size and identify any structural issues that need addressing before installation. We measure the flue dimensions and check for obstructions or damage that could complicate the job.

Next, we remove the old liner if one exists and clean the chimney thoroughly. We then install your new stainless steel liner from the top down, ensuring proper connections at both the appliance and chimney cap. Every joint gets sealed correctly to prevent leaks.

Finally, we test the system to make sure everything draws properly and meets safety codes. You get documentation of the installation for your records and insurance company. The whole process typically takes one day for most homes, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

Stainless Steel Chimney Liners Johnston

What You Get With Our Installation

Every installation includes a heavy-duty stainless steel liner sized specifically for your appliance and chimney dimensions. We use 316Ti stainless steel that resists corrosion from the acidic condensation that destroys cheaper materials.

You also get proper insulation around the liner when required by code or when your chimney is on an exterior wall. This prevents condensation problems and improves draft performance. We install new chimney caps and storm collars as needed to keep water out of your system.

Johnston’s coastal climate is tough on chimney systems, so we pay extra attention to sealing and water protection. Every installation comes with clear documentation for your insurance company and future service needs.

How much does chimney liner installation cost in Johnston?

Most chimney liner installations in Johnston run between $2,500 and $6,000, depending on your chimney height, liner diameter, and whether insulation is required. Taller chimneys cost more because they need more liner material and take longer to install. If your chimney needs structural repairs before we can install the liner, that adds to the cost. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. We also offer in-house financing if you need to spread the payments out over time.

How long do stainless steel chimney liners last?

Quality stainless steel liners typically last 15-20 years in our coastal Rhode Island climate, sometimes longer with proper maintenance. The key is using the right grade of stainless steel – we use 316Ti which resists the acidic condensation that destroys cheaper materials. Your liner’s lifespan also depends on how often you use your fireplace and whether you burn seasoned wood versus green wood. Regular chimney cleaning and annual inspections help extend the life of any liner. Clay tile liners, by comparison, often crack and fail within 10-15 years, especially in freeze-thaw cycles.

Can I install a chimney liner myself?

Chimney liner installation requires specific knowledge of building codes, proper sizing, and safety requirements that most homeowners don’t have. Getting the diameter wrong can create dangerous draft problems or carbon monoxide issues. The installation also requires specialized tools and the ability to work safely on your roof. Most importantly, your insurance company and local building department typically require professional installation by certified technicians. DIY installations often fail inspections and can void your homeowner’s insurance if something goes wrong. The cost of fixing a botched DIY job usually exceeds what professional installation costs upfront.

What size chimney liner do I need for my fireplace?

Liner sizing depends on your specific appliance and chimney dimensions, not just the size of your existing flue. Gas appliances typically need smaller liners than wood-burning units, and high-efficiency units have different requirements than older models. The liner diameter affects draft performance – too small and you get poor draw and smoke problems, too large and you get condensation issues. We measure your existing flue, check your appliance specifications, and calculate the correct size based on current building codes. This is why professional sizing is essential – guessing wrong creates expensive problems that are difficult to fix later.

Do I need to insulate my new chimney liner?

Insulation requirements depend on your specific situation, but it’s often required by code and always improves performance. If your chimney is on an exterior wall or if you’re connecting to a high-efficiency appliance, insulation is typically mandatory. Even when not required, insulation prevents condensation problems, improves draft, and helps maintain proper temperatures throughout the flue. In Johnston’s climate, we see fewer moisture problems and better heating performance with insulated liners. The additional cost is usually worth it for the improved safety and efficiency you get.

How do I know if my chimney liner needs replacement?

Common signs include white staining on your chimney exterior, rust on your damper or firebox, strong odors coming from your fireplace, and water damage around your chimney. If you see pieces of clay tile in your firebox or if your fireplace doesn’t draw smoke properly, your liner is likely compromised. Age is also a factor – clay tile liners installed before 1990 often don’t meet current safety standards. The only way to know for sure is through a professional inspection with a camera that can see the entire length of your flue. We provide free estimates that include a thorough assessment of your current liner condition.
