Chimney Relining in Bensalem, PA

Family-Owned Chimney Relining You Can Rely On Since 1994

Your chimney liner is the barrier that keeps combustion byproducts, such as smoke, creosote, and gases, inside the flue and away from living spaces and combustible framing. A damaged or missing liner can let heat and exhaust reach structural materials, raising the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide exposure. Since 1994, Above All Chimney & Masonry has been a family-owned, family-operated company handling chimney relining for residential and commercial properties throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Signs Your Chimney Liner Needs Attention

Liner problems don’t always announce themselves. Visible damage inside the flue is one indicator, but some of the most important early signs show up in how your fireplace or stove performs. Smoke drifting into the room when you have a fire, persistent smoky odors even when the fireplace isn’t in use, or a noticeably sluggish draft can all point to a liner that’s cracked, deteriorated, or no longer properly sized for your appliance. If you’re noticing any of those, a professional evaluation is the right next step.

Structural warning signs also include:

• Deteriorating Clay Tiles: Flaking, spalling, or missing clay tiles inside your chimney show that the liner’s structural integrity is compromised.
• Damaged Flue Liners: Cracked or broken flue tiles can allow heat and exhaust to escape where they shouldn’t, creating a safety concern.
• Suspected Chimney Fire: After any chimney fire, even one that seemed minor, the liner needs a careful inspection for hidden damage that could require relining.
• Eroded Mortar Joints: Gaps and voids in mortar joints let heat and dangerous byproducts leak into surrounding areas. Catching this early can prevent larger problems.
• Fuel-Type Conversion: Installing a new appliance or switching fuel types, for example, converting from wood to gas, often calls for relining because liner size and material requirements change with the appliance.

When liner damage is suspected, our comprehensive chimney inspection checks structural integrity, flue liners, blockages, and potential fire hazards and details what repairs are needed and what they’ll cost before any work begins.

Chimney Liner Options & Professional Evaluation

Not every chimney needs the same solution. Stainless steel liners are durable, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for wood, gas, and oil appliances. They’re available in rigid and flexible designs to accommodate different flue layouts, including older chimneys with bends or offsets. Cast-in-place liners use a poured refractory material to form a seamless liner inside the flue, making them a strong choice for chimneys with irregular shapes, significant deterioration, or previous fire damage. The right liner depends on fuel type, appliance, and the actual condition of your existing flue.

Why the Assessment Comes First

Above All Chimney & Masonry holds CSIA certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America and membership in the National Chimney Sweep Guild, which keeps our team current with evolving standards and industry best practices. A CSIA-certified technician evaluates your specific flue before recommending a liner material, so the solution fits the chimney’s actual condition instead of being a default upsell. Many liner problems, including cracks, eroded mortar joints, and past fire damage, aren’t visible without a professional evaluation, so we start with a comprehensive inspection when liner issues are suspected.

What a New Liner Does for Your Chimney

Relining isn’t just a safety fix. A properly sized and installed liner improves draft performance, which means your fireplace or stove draws and vents more effectively. It also helps prevent moisture from penetrating interior masonry, which can reduce deterioration over time. Reduced creosote accumulation is another benefit, since a liner matched to your appliance encourages more complete combustion. And if you’re selling a home or installing a new heating appliance, a code-compliant liner is often required before the transaction or installation can move forward.
