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.

What Liners & Venting actually involves
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.
When relining becomes necessary
ABC Chimney Solutions may recommend relining when clay tiles are cracked or deteriorated, an existing metal liner is corroded or damaged, the existing liner was installed incorrectly, the flue is the wrong size for the appliance, or a heating-system change creates different venting requirements.
The available approaches
ABC Chimney Solutions installs stainless steel liners, cast-in-place systems and clay tile relining depending on the project. Stainless steel is the common solution in many situations. Cast-in-place is generally considered when the homeowner specifically wants that method or when a conventional liner cannot realistically be passed through the existing flue.
Sizing is not a guess
The team considers the appliance BTU rating, appliance outlet, fuel, chimney height, existing flue and other system requirements. A liner is not selected simply because a certain diameter is common on other homes.

Questions & Answers
Liners & Venting — frequently asked
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about liners & venting in Connecticut.
How do you choose the right chimney liner size?
ABC Chimney Solutions evaluates the appliance, including BTU and venting requirements, along with chimney height, outlet size, fuel type, existing flue and manufacturer or code requirements before selecting a liner size. Learn more about this service.
Do you install more than one type of chimney liner?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions installs stainless steel liners, cast-in-place liner systems and clay tile relining, choosing the approach that fits the chimney and appliance. Learn more about this service.
Do you repair damaged stainless steel liners?
ABC Chimney Solutions generally prefers replacement when a liner is materially damaged because a partial patch does not address the condition of the rest of the liner. The old liner can be removed and replaced with a properly sized new system. Learn more about this service.
When relining becomes necessary?
ABC Chimney Solutions may recommend relining when clay tiles are cracked or deteriorated, an existing metal liner is corroded or damaged, the existing liner was installed incorrectly, the flue is the wrong size for the appliance, or a heating-system change creates different venting requirements. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by the available approaches?
ABC Chimney Solutions installs stainless steel liners, cast-in-place systems and clay tile relining depending on the project. Stainless steel is the common solution in many situations. Cast-in-place is generally considered when the homeowner specifically wants that method or when a conventional liner cannot realistically be passed through the existing flue.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by sizing is not a guess?
ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every job. The team considers the appliance BTU rating, appliance outlet, fuel, chimney height, existing flue and other system requirements. A liner is not selected simply because a certain diameter is common on other homes. 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 liners & venting. 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 liners & venting 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.
Do I need a liner for a new stove or insert?
A full liner connection from the appliance to the top of the chimney is generally what ABC Chimney Solutions recommends, because it gives a controlled venting path of the right size rather than letting the appliance discharge into an oversized masonry flue. Learn more about this service.
Does a liner come with a warranty?
Stainless liner systems carry the manufacturer's own product warranty, which is a warranty on the material from the company that made it. ABC Chimney Solutions will tell you what the specific product carries rather than making a claim of its own. Learn more about this service.
What if the damper opening is too small for the liner?
The opening is modified as part of the installation. It is a normal part of the work rather than an obstacle, and it is better than fitting an undersized liner because the existing opening happened to suit one. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at liners & venting. Learn more about this service.
Is the top of the liner sealed?
Yes. A liner installation is finished with a top plate, seal and cap so that water cannot run down the space between the liner and the masonry, which would otherwise put the water problem inside the chimney instead of on it. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at liners & venting. 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.
