Traditional clay terra cotta tile liners have lined Pennsylvania chimneys for generations. But cracks, flaking, and normal wear and tear reduce their ability to protect your home from fire and carbon monoxide poisoning. Wells & Sons Chimney & Fireplace Service, a family-owned company with over four decades of proudly serving the Lehigh Valley, offers a more durable solution. Our high-quality, long-lasting stainless-steel liners with a lifetime warranty are installed by our experienced technicians, ensuring the highest level of safety and efficiency for your home.
Why Do I Need a Chimney Liner?
Did you know every heating appliance requires a flue, including furnaces, fireplaces, stoves, and water heaters? The flue is a vital passageway that allows for the safe and efficient venting harmful byproducts, such as carbon monoxide, from your home or business. Damage to the liner caused by factors like moisture, cracks, creosote buildup, corrosion, or obstructions can lead to severe issues, such as:
- Moisture: Condensation or leaks can damage the mortar joints and weaken the clay tiles.
- Cracks: Shifting foundations or exposure to very high temperatures can cause cracks in the liner.
- Creosote Buildup: Burning wood creates creosote, a flammable tar that can accumulate within the flue.
- Corrosion: Certain fuels and acidic byproducts can corrode clay tiles.
- Obstructions: Animals or debris can clog the flue opening, blocking proper venting.
These issues can lead to severe consequences, including reduced efficiency, carbon monoxide poisoning, and increased fire risk. Without a properly functioning chimney liner, your home and family could be at risk.
High-Quality Stainless-Steel Liners (Lifetime Warranty)
Our experienced technicians install top-of-the-line stainless steel liners with a lifetime warranty for fireplace, furnace, and water heater flues. These liners offer superior durability and resistance to moisture, rust, and fire that can damage traditional clay tiles. We ensure a perfect fit for optimal performance with:
- Custom-Fitted Shroud: The shroud extends from the top of the flue to the firebox and ensures a proper seal and optimal function.
- Expert Installation: Our technicians have the expertise to install your new liner safely and efficiently.
Chimney Liner Maintenance
While stainless steel liners are low-maintenance compared to traditional terra cotta and other liners, they still require annual inspection and cleaning to maintain their lifetime warranty. It helps ensure you enjoy optimum performance throughout the life of your heating appliance while reducing the risk of fire and exposure to harmful contaminants.

Stainless steel flue liners offer significant improvements over traditional clay tile liners. Their durability allows them to withstand high heat and acidic conditions within a chimney, while their corrosion resistance ensures they will function effectively for many years.
