Why Philadelphia Homeowners Can’t Afford to Wait

Many Philadelphia homes — especially pre-1950s rowhomes — have deteriorated clay tile liners or unlined flues that are a serious CO and fire risk. A cracked or missing liner allows heat, sparks, and toxic gases to reach combustible framing. Relining restores your chimney's safety and can improve heating efficiency by up to 20%.

#1 Killer

Unlined Flues Leak CO

A cracked or missing liner lets carbon monoxide seep into your living spaces. Relining seals the flue completely.

20%

Heating Efficiency Gain

A properly insulated liner improves draft and reduces heat loss. Many homeowners notice lower heating bills immediately.

Lifetime

Warranty on Materials

Stainless steel liners come with a lifetime manufacturer warranty. One investment, decades of protection.

Every week you wait, the damage gets worse — and the repair gets more expensive.

Switched from a wood fireplace to a gas insert and needed the flue relined to match the new appliance. Franklin sized everything correctly, ran the aluminum liner, and connected it all in one day. Inspector signed off on it first try. Clean work.

Called at 8 AM about a downdraft problem. Tony was at my door by noon. He found a cracked liner that two other companies missed. Fair price, great communication, and they actually answered when I had follow-up questions.

The old terracotta liner was crumbling — pieces were falling into the firebox when we opened the damper. Franklin removed what was left and installed a full stainless steel liner with insulation wrap. Like having a brand new chimney. The draft is incredible now.

Had a wood stove insert put in and needed a properly sized liner to go with it. Franklin ran the stainless liner, insulated it, and connected it to the stove. The efficiency improvement was noticeable on the first cold night. Our heating bill actually went down.

Woke up to our CO detector going off at 3 AM. Fire department came, said the chimney was the likely source. Franklin was there first thing Monday morning — the old liner had a gap that was leaking exhaust into the wall cavity. New stainless liner installed by end of day. Scary situation but they handled it fast.

Our 1950s clay liner had cracks and a separated joint. They installed a stainless steel liner with insulation wrap in about six hours. It's like having a brand new chimney — the draft is incredible now. Walked me through the warranty before leaving.

Our clay liner was original to the house — 1952. The inspection showed multiple cracks and a gap at one of the joints. They installed a stainless steel liner in about six hours. The draft improvement was immediate. We actually had to dial back the damper because the fireplace was pulling so much harder.

Our oversized flue was causing condensation and corrosion on the furnace side. Franklin downsized it with a properly matched stainless liner. Condensation gone and the furnace runs more efficiently now. They really understood the science behind it.

Buyer's inspector flagged our liner during the sale and I called three companies. Franklin was the only one who could turn it around in under two weeks. New liner in, reinspection passed, closing went through on time. Absolute lifesaver.

We have a historic place in Old City and the original flue was failing. Franklin handled the reline carefully without disturbing the period masonry. New stainless liner, perfect draft, and they respected the character of the house. Couldn't be happier.

The inspection turned up three cracks and a bad joint halfway up the flue. Instead of patching an old liner forever, we relined with stainless. Done in a single day and the technician explained the lifetime warranty paperwork in detail. Very thorough.

Converted to gas logs and the installer told me the old clay liner wasn't safe for it. Franklin ran the correct aluminum liner with a connector kit and it passed inspection first try. Should've had it done right from the start. Great work.

Converted from wood to gas logs and learned the hard way that the old clay liner doesn't work for gas appliances. Franklin installed the proper aluminum liner with a connector kit. Passed code inspection on the first visit. Should've done the conversion right from the start.

Smoke was backing up into our living room every time we lit a fire. Turned out the previous owner had the wrong size liner installed. They replaced it with a stainless steel liner and now it draws perfectly. Wish I'd called them years ago.

Selling our place in the suburbs and the buyer's inspector flagged the liner. Franklin squeezed us in, installed a new stainless liner, and got us the certificate in time for closing. Professional, fast, and exactly the price quoted. Recommend highly.

Common Questions

Answers Before You Call

Relining replaces a damaged or missing flue liner in five steps: a full video inspection to confirm what your flue needs, custom measurement of the liner to your chimney, professional installation by a CSIA-certified technician, an insulation wrap for better draft and efficiency, and a new chimney cap to finish. You get a written quote after the inspection — before any work begins.

Book your video inspection — $69 credited

Most chimney relinings are completed in a single day — typically 4–8 hours on site. Jobs involving multiple flues, tight rowhome access, or masonry repairs first may need a second visit. We confirm your exact timeline in writing at the video inspection, so there are no surprises.

Get my exact timeline

We install custom-measured stainless steel liners and HeatShield liners. Both replace the deteriorated clay tile liners and unlined flues common in Philadelphia's pre-1950s rowhomes. Stainless steel carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty on materials; the video inspection determines which option your flue needs.

Find out which liner your flue needs

Every liner we install comes with a lifetime warranty on materials and a 10-year warranty on workmanship — both in writing. Stainless steel liners carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty: one investment, decades of protection. If anything about our installation needs attention in the first 10 years, we come back and make it right.

Book with confidence

Yes — financing is available on larger projects like relining, masonry repairs, and waterproofing, so a critical repair never has to wait on a lump sum.

No pressure, no surprises — you decide what works for your home.
