Cast-In-Place Liners in Connecticut
A cast-in-place liner is a different approach to relining an existing chimney. ABC Chimney Solutions generally considers it when a homeowner specifically prefers the method or when the existing flue configuration makes it impractical to install a conventional liner system.
When it makes sense
Some old flues are too irregular, restricted or difficult to access for a standard liner installation. In those situations ABC Chimney Solutions can evaluate whether a cast-in-place system is a practical alternative rather than forcing a liner through a route that does not support a proper installation.
Not the automatic default
ABC Chimney Solutions does not present cast-in-place as the answer to every damaged flue. The chimney, intended use and available installation methods are evaluated first, and the homeowner is shown the practical options.

Also part of Liners & Venting
A chimney liner is part of the venting system, not just a metal tube dropped inside the chimney. The correct liner depends on the appliance, fuel, BTU input, vent connection, chimney height, existing flue and applicable manufacturer and code requirements. ABC Chimney Solutions evaluates those factors before recommending a liner type or size.

Questions & Answers
Cast-In-Place Liners — frequently asked
What homeowners ask ABC Chimney Solutions most often about cast-in-place liners.
When would you recommend a cast-in-place liner?
ABC Chimney Solutions generally considers a cast-in-place liner when the homeowner wants that system or when the existing chimney configuration does not allow a conventional liner to be installed properly. Learn more about this service.
Is cast-in-place always better than stainless steel?
No. ABC Chimney Solutions chooses between cast-in-place, stainless steel and other relining approaches based on the actual chimney and appliance rather than treating one material as universally better. Learn more about this service.
Can you explain when it makes sense?
Some old flues are too irregular, restricted or difficult to access for a standard liner installation. In those situations ABC Chimney Solutions can evaluate whether a cast-in-place system is a practical alternative rather than forcing a liner through a route that does not support a proper installation. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by not the automatic default?
ABC Chimney Solutions does not present cast-in-place as the answer to every damaged flue. The chimney, intended use and available installation methods are evaluated first, and the homeowner is shown the practical options. Learn more about this service.
What is a cast-in-place liner?
A liner formed inside the existing chimney rather than lowered into it, so the new flue takes the shape of the chimney it is cast into. This is part of what ABC Chimney Solutions checks before quoting cast-in-place liners. Learn more about this service.
When would you recommend it?
ABC Chimney Solutions generally considers it when a homeowner specifically wants that method, or when a conventional liner cannot realistically be passed through the existing flue. Learn more about this service.
Does it strengthen the chimney?
It fills voids and bonds to the existing flue, which is part of its appeal on older masonry. It is not a substitute for repairing a structurally failing stack. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book cast-in-place liners. Learn more about this service.
Is it more disruptive than a stainless liner?
It is a longer process with materials that have to be mixed and cured on site, so the sequence is different. ABC Chimney Solutions will set out what the job involves before it starts. Learn more about this service.
Can it be used on any chimney?
Not always. The condition of the existing flue, the access and the route all decide whether it is a sensible method for a particular chimney. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at cast-in-place liners. Learn more about this service.
How is it different from clay tile relining?
Cast-in-place forms a continuous liner in the chimney; clay tile relining installs new tile sections. They suit different chimneys and different reasons for relining. ABC Chimney Solutions covers this as part of its cast-in-place liners work in Connecticut. Learn more about this service.
What does a chimney liner do?
It gives the products of combustion a contained, correctly sized route out of the building, and keeps heat and acidic condensate away from the surrounding masonry. A chimney without a sound liner is passing both into the structure. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book cast-in-place liners. Learn more about this service.
How do I know if my liner needs replacing?
Cracked or missing clay tiles, corroded metal, tile fragments turning up in the firebox, a liner that was installed for a different appliance, or a heating change that altered the venting requirement are the usual reasons ABC Chimney Solutions recommends relining. Learn more about this service.
What size liner do I need?
It is determined, not chosen. The appliance rating and outlet, the fuel, the chimney height, the existing flue and the manufacturer's requirements decide it. ABC Chimney Solutions works it out for the specific installation rather than fitting the size that is common. Learn more about this service.
Which liner type is best?
There is no single answer. Stainless steel suits most situations; cast-in-place is considered where a homeowner specifically wants that method or where a conventional liner cannot realistically be passed through the existing flue; clay tile relining has its own applications. ABC Chimney Solutions covers this as part of its cast-in-place liners work in Connecticut. Learn more about this service.
Can a liner be fitted in an old chimney?
Usually, and old chimneys are where relining is most often needed. Offsets, narrow flues and old thimble openings all complicate the route, which is why ABC Chimney Solutions establishes what the chimney will take before committing to a method. Learn more about this service.

What Homeowners Say
Reviews from the towns we work in
Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.
The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.
Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.
Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.
Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.
Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.
Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.
Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
