A chimney liner is crucial for safely containing the dangerous byproducts of combustion, such as heat, moisture, creosote, and carbon monoxide. If your liner is cracked, damaged, or has missing mortar, it's not doing its job. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) states that a damaged liner should be repaired, relined, or replaced to ensure safety (NFPA 211, Sect. 10-9).  Don't wait for a chimney fire—contact Homeplace Furnace today.

When the bricks of your chimney need a makeover, masonry work is one of our specialties. From bricklaying and tuck-pointing to crown repair, firebox repair, and smoke chamber renovation, no job is too big or too small. We've got the tools, the skills, and the expertise to handle it all.

Tuck-pointing is a masonry repair technique that improves the aesthetic of brickwork. It involves using special tools to carefully remove the damaged or deteriorated mortar and replacing it with new mortar, and applying tint to match old mortar, giving your chimney a fresh look. Replacing the damaged mortar also helps to maintain the structural integrity of your brickwork.

It’s essential to reline your chimney or flue when the liner is damaged to ensure the safe and proper venting of gas, oil, or wood-burning appliances. Relining is especially important for gas furnaces and water heaters to comply with the codes that require a UL-listed metal liner for new installations, because venting gas appliances into a chimney can damage the masonry.

Protect your chimney and your home against water damage with the installation of a new chimney crown from Homeplace Furnace. A deteriorated chimney crown can lead to a slew of expensive problems, including brickwork damage and tuckpointing needs. We will replace your old, damaged crown with a durable, reinforced concrete crown expertly built to last.
