Your chimney liner protects your home from heat, fire, and dangerous gases. At Maximum Chimney Services, we provide professional chimney liner installation, stainless steel relining, and chimney liner repair throughout the Chicagoland suburbs.

Benefits of Installing a Stainless Steel Chimney Liner
A properly functioning chimney liner does much more than contain smoke — it protects your entire home from fire and structural damage.
A quality liner:
- Prevents flames and heat from damaging masonry or nearby walls
- Blocks deadly carbon monoxide from seeping into living spaces
- Improves fireplace and furnace draft efficiency
- Protects brick and mortar from erosion and moisture damage
- Reduces creosote buildup that causes chimney fires
Without a durable liner, your chimney’s integrity and your family’s safety are at risk.
Stainless Steel Chimney Liner Installation
Stainless steel liners are the gold standard for modern homes — and our most requested service. They offer unmatched durability, safety, and lifetime performance for both wood-burning and gas systems.
At Maximum Chimney Services, we use UL-listed stainless steel liners and heavy-duty insulation to meet or exceed all local codes.
Our installation process includes:
- Comprehensive Inspection – Evaluate your flue size, appliance type, and venting needs.
- Removal of Old or Damaged Materials – Clear the chimney of debris, tile fragments, and blockages.
- Custom Liner Fabrication – Cut and form the stainless liner to fit your exact chimney dimensions.
- Professional Installation & Insulation – Install and secure the liner for optimal safety and airflow.
- Final Testing & Certification – Verify safe operation and compliance with CSIA and NFPA standards.
Each installation includes a lifetime transferable warranty for peace of mind.
Other Chimney Liner Options
While stainless steel is the most reliable and modern option, some older systems may use:
- Clay tile liners – Traditional but prone to cracking and heat damage.
- Cast-in-place concrete liners – Durable but expensive and uncommon.
- Ceramic coatings – A temporary repair for small flue cracks.
Our technicians can inspect your system and recommend whether repair, partial relining, or a full stainless steel upgrade is the best solution for your home.
