A chimney liner is the first line of defense for your home against toxic fireplace byproducts. It's designed to contain heat, moisture, creosote, and carbon monoxide, but a damaged liner can't do its job properly. The National Fire Protection Agency, as per NFPA 211, Sect. 10-9, requires that a compromised liner be repaired to prevent chimney fires. Don't take any chances—call Homeplace Furnace today.

When your chimney needs a makeover, masonry work is our forte. We offer a broad scope of services, from bricklaying and tuck-pointing to crown repair, firebox repair, and smoke chamber renovation. No task is too large or too small for our skilled team. We have the tools, expertise, and experience to tackle any masonry project.

Tuck-pointing is a masonry repair technique that enhances the appearance of brickwork while preserving its structural integrity. We carefully remove damaged or deteriorated mortar and replace it with fresh mortar, matching the color to the existing mortar for a revitalized look. By replacing damaged mortar, we help maintain the strength and durability of your brickwork.

If your chimney liner becomes damaged, relining is crucial to safely vent gas, oil, or wood-burning appliances. Relining is especially important for gas burning furnaces and water heaters to ensure compliance with codes that mandate a UL-listed metal liner for new installations. Venting gas appliances into a chimney can harm the chimney masonry.

Protect your chimney and home from water damage by installing a new chimney crown from Homeplace Furnace. A deteriorating chimney crown can lead to a multitude of costly problems, including brickwork damage and the need for tuckpointing. We will replace your old, damaged crown with a sturdy, reinforced concrete crown built to last.
