Water Damage From Storm Rain
Rain entering an uncapped flue washes out the mortar joints between clay tiles. The gaps left behind let heat and gases reach framing inside the chase or wall.

Relining Chimneys in Houston
Houston liners rarely fail from freezing. They fail from water and corrosion — years of storm rain entering an open or poorly capped flue, condensation in a humid idle chimney, and moisture that eats away at mortar joints between clay tiles until the flue no longer contains heat and combustion gases safely.
Every job starts with a camera scan so you see the inside of your own flue before you decide anything. If the tiles are cracked or gapped, we reline with insulated stainless sized to the appliance — wood-burning fireplace, gas logs or a furnace still venting through the old masonry chimney.
Warning Signs
Why Houston Flues Need Relining
The liner is the part of the chimney you can never see from the room — and the part that keeps heat and combustion gases away from your home's framing.
Condensation in Idle Chimneys
Humid air in a chimney that goes unused most of the year condenses on cool tile and metal, corroding liners and connectors from the inside.
Undersized or Orphaned Furnace Flues
When an old furnace or water heater is replaced with a high-efficiency unit, the remaining appliance often vents into an oversized masonry flue — a classic case for a properly sized stainless liner.

What We Install
Liners Sized, Insulated and Sealed Correctly
Insulated Stainless Steel Relining
A continuous stainless liner sized to the appliance, wrapped in insulation where clearance requires it, running from the appliance connection to the top plate — no joints inside the chimney to leak.
Furnace & Water Heater Liners
Correctly sized liners for gas appliances still venting into an old masonry flue, which fixes both the condensation damage and the weak draft that caused it.
Top Plate, Cap & Crown Work
The reline is finished with a sealed top plate and cap so water cannot get between the liner and the masonry. Crown repair is quoted in the same estimate when it is needed.
Camera Scan Before and After
We record the condition of the flue before we quote and after we finish, so you see exactly what you paid for instead of taking someone's word for it.
How It Works
From Camera Scan to a Safe Flue
1. Tell Us What's Going On
Failed inspection, tile pieces in the firebox, smoke smell, a home sale deadline — tell us and we book the camera scan.
2. Camera Scan the Flue
A camera goes the full length of the flue. You see the footage and the actual condition of the liner before any price is discussed.
3. Size the Liner
The liner is sized to the appliance and the flue — not guessed. Wrong-size liners cause draft problems that are worse than the original issue.
4. Written Price First
You get the liner type, insulation, top-plate work and total price in writing before we order anything.
5. Install & Verify
The liner is installed, connected, sealed at the top, and re-scanned. You get photos and footage of the finished flue.
Honest Pricing, No Fake Numbers
Nobody can quote a reline over the phone without knowing the flue height, diameter, insulation requirement and appliance. Anyone who does is guessing — and the guess usually rises once they are on site. We scan first, then give one written price that does not move.
If the scan shows your liner is sound, we tell you so. A reline you do not need is the most expensive repair there is.

“Rust streaks were running down the siding from the top of the chimney. They showed me photos of the rusted-out cover, put a stainless one on, and the stains stopped. Fair price, no upselling.”

Liner FAQs
Answers Before You Commit to a Reline
Got an inspection report you don't understand? Call and read it to us — we'll tell you plainly what it means.
(682) 217-3577It depends on the flue height, the liner diameter, whether insulation is required and what appliance it serves. A short furnace liner and a full insulated fireplace reline are very different jobs. We scan the flue first and give a written price before ordering anything.
The reliable answer comes from a camera scan of the flue. Common clues are pieces of clay tile in the firebox, a smoke or gas smell, a failed Level 2 inspection, or a furnace that back-drafts. Visible cracks and open joints on camera confirm it.
A quality stainless liner, correctly sized and installed, typically lasts decades and is usually sold with a long manufacturer warranty. Thin or wrongly sized liners fail early, which is why sizing and material matter more than price.
No. A cracked liner lets heat and combustion gases reach combustible framing behind the masonry, and it is one of the few findings that make a chimney unsafe to use until it is corrected.
Often yes. Modern high-efficiency gas furnaces and water heaters vented into an oversized old masonry flue produce condensation that destroys tile and mortar. A correctly sized liner solves the draft and the damage.
Most straightforward relines are done in a day once the correct liner is on hand. Unusual flue sizes, offsets and factory-built components may need an ordering window, which we tell you about after the scan.
Yes — 10% off for military, veterans, seniors 65+, police, firefighters and EMTs. Mention it when you call (682) 217-3577.
You do not, until someone looks. A camera scan shows cracked tiles, missing mortar joints and rust — we record it and show you the footage. We will not quote a liner on a chimney we have not scanned.
Often yes. Gas appliances produce acidic moisture that attacks old clay tile, and an oversized flue makes the problem worse by cooling the gases. A correctly sized stainless liner solves both.
