Professional Chimney Liner Installation in Norwich, CT

A properly installed and maintained chimney liner is essential for safe venting and long-lasting chimney performance. At Norwich Chimney Works, we provide expert liner installation and relining services throughout Norwich, CT. Whether you’re upgrading an older system, switching fuel types, or correcting a failed liner, our certified team ensures your flue is protected, efficient, and code-compliant.

What Does a Chimney Liner Do?

A chimney liner serves as the internal passage that carries combustion gases safely out of your home. It protects the masonry from heat and corrosion while ensuring proper draft for efficient burning. Without a sound liner, heat and gases can escape into surrounding structures, creating fire and carbon monoxide hazards.

Modern building codes and NFPA 211 standards require all chimneys to have an appropriate liner. Many older chimneys in Norwich still rely on deteriorating clay liners or have no liner at all—making professional installation a vital safety upgrade.

Signs You May Need a New Chimney Liner

  • Visible cracks or missing mortar between flue tiles
  • Excessive creosote buildup or poor draft
  • Water leakage or rust stains in the firebox
  • Chimney fires, smoke spillage, or odor problems
  • Switching from wood to gas or oil heating appliances
  • Damaged or missing clay flue tiles in older chimneys

If you notice any of these signs—or if your chimney hasn’t been inspected recently—our technicians can perform a detailed flue camera inspection to assess the liner’s condition.

Types of Chimney Liners We Install

1. Stainless Steel Liners

Our most popular option, stainless steel liners are ideal for wood, gas, and oil appliances. They resist heat, corrosion, and moisture, and often come with lifetime warranties. Norwich Chimney Works installs both rigid and flexible stainless liners, insulated as needed for maximum safety and draft.

2. Clay Tile Liners

Common in older chimneys, clay tile liners are durable but can crack from temperature fluctuations or seismic movement. We repair or replace damaged sections when feasible or upgrade to stainless systems when replacement is more cost-effective.

3. Cast-in-Place Liners

For chimneys with irregular shapes or structural weaknesses, we can apply cast-in-place liner systems. These create a smooth, seamless surface inside the flue that improves draft and reinforces the chimney walls.

Our Liner Installation Process

Every installation begins with a full inspection to determine the correct liner type and size for your appliance. We measure draft, venting height, and existing flue dimensions to ensure proper fit and performance.

  1. Remove any debris, soot, or damaged materials from the flue.
  2. Insert the chosen liner system (stainless steel or cast-in-place).
  3. Insulate and seal the liner for optimal heat retention.
  4. Install a new cap or damper to protect against moisture and debris.
  5. Test the draft and confirm safe operation.

Our installations meet or exceed NFPA 211 and manufacturer standards. We handle every project neatly, protecting floors and walls throughout the process.

Benefits of a New Chimney Liner

  • Improved safety—reduces risk of chimney fires and gas leaks
  • Better appliance efficiency and reduced smoke
  • Extended chimney life by protecting masonry
  • Compliance with current Connecticut safety codes
