Why Chimney Liner Repair matters in the GTA
The liner is what actually protects your house from a chimney fire. Cracked clay tiles vent hot gases straight into wood framing. Repair isn't optional — it's a code and insurance requirement.
Almost every pre-1980 Toronto home has an unlined or clay-tile-lined chimney. If the tiles are cracked, spalled, or offset, it's a mandatory reline under CSA-B365.
What the visit looks like
Camera scan to confirm damage, then a top-down install of a UL-listed 316Ti stainless liner sized to the appliance, wrapped in insulation, terminated with a rain cap, and paperwork issued for your insurer.

What Toronto homeowners say
"Booked a sweep and WETT inspection before winter. Crew arrived on time, laid down drop cloths, and walked me through the report photo by photo. Fixed pricing, no upsell — exactly what was quoted."
— Sarah M.
"Cracked clay liner in our 1962 fireplace. They installed a stainless liner and new cap in one day and the draft is perfect. Warranty paperwork emailed the same evening."
— David R.
"Called for a raccoon in the flue. They removed it humanely, sanitized the smoke chamber, and installed a stainless cap. Fair price, no drama, and they even followed up a week later."
— Priya S.
