Chimney Flue Repair & Liner Replacement in Houston, TX
The chimney flue is the ‘exhaust pipe’ of your home. If it has cracks, gaps, or missing mortar, it can allow deadly carbon monoxide and heat to transfer into your home’s walls. At 832 Chimney Services, we use advanced video scanning technology to detect hidden flue damage and offer lasting solutions from HeatShield® resurfacing to complete stainless steel relining.

Unlike general contractors, we use specialized equipment to detect hairline cracks and potential weak points before they become major problems. Most chimney flue repair projects are completed in just one day, and we exclusively use high-grade, heat-resistant materials designed to withstand extreme temperatures.
Why a Healthy Flue Liner is Critical for Your Home
Professional chimney flue repair improves heating efficiency, potentially reducing monthly costs. Early intervention prevents water damage to surrounding masonry and interior walls. Regular maintenance extends your chimney system’s lifespan, saving thousands in replacement costs. Most importantly, proper flue function ensures toxic gases like carbon monoxide are safely vented outside.
832 Chimney Services: Houston’s Flue & Liner Experts
Clay Flue Tile Replacement:
Traditional chimneys use clay tiles. Over time, heat and moisture cause these to crack and split. We remove damaged tiles and install new, high-temperature masonry liners to restore your system’s integrity.
Stainless Steel Relining:
For the ultimate upgrade, we install stainless steel liners with a lifetime warranty. These durable tubes slide inside your existing chimney, creating a seamless, airtight path for smoke to exit your home, perfect for older Houston homes with deteriorating flues.
Flue Resurfacing (HeatShield):
If your flue has minor cracks or gaps in the mortar joints, we can often repair it without a full replacement. We use a specialized cerfractory sealant that coats the inside of your chimney, sealing cracks and smoothing the surface to improve draft.

Common Questions About Chimney Flues & Liners
How can I tell if my chimney flue is damaged?
You often can’t see flue damage with the naked eye since it happens deep inside the chimney stack. However, if you find pieces of clay tile in your firebox (called ‘shaling’) or notice smoke backing up into the room, your liner is likely compromised. A video inspection is the only way to be 100% sure.
Should I repair or replace a damaged chimney liner?
It depends on the severity. Minor cracks in mortar joints can often be resurfaced. However, if the tiles are crumbling, missing, or structurally unsound, stainless steel relining is the safer, more cost-effective long-term solution.
How often should I have my chimney flashing and cap inspected?
Annual chimney sweep services should include inspection of the cap, flashing, and mortar. These components at the top of the chimney protect against water infiltration. Regular maintenance prevents leaking chimneys and extends the lifespan of masonry structures.
What causes cracked chimney flue tiles?
Flue tiles typically crack due to rapid temperature changes, aging mortar, moisture damage, or previous chimney fires. Inside the flue, these cracks allow dangerous gases to escape into living spaces. Professional evaluation determines whether specialized repair techniques or a new liner installation is necessary.
