We’ve been answering calls this way for over 42 years. Russell Haines built Hearthstone Chimney Co. in 1984 on the principle that a homeowner deserves to see what is wrong before paying to fix it. That matters especially here in Huber Heights, where a single neighborhood can hold two dozen identical brick ranches, all built by Charles H. Huber between 1958 and 1975, all now facing the same predictable failures in their original clay tile liners and mortar crowns.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Huber Heights’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
Huber Heights is not a generic suburb to us. We know the ZIP 45424 territory well enough that when a homeowner on Fishburg Road describes a “crumbling crown and water stains on the ceiling near the chimney breast,” we already know the likely flue dimensions and the original construction specs before we unload the ladder. That familiarity saves time and keeps our estimates accurate.
Our reputation in Huber Heights rests on documented work. Every Level-2 camera inspection ends with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No guessing, no scare tactics. Homeowners here have lived in these houses for twenty, thirty, sometimes forty years. They know when a contractor is inventing problems. We don’t.
Response time to Huber Heights is typically same-day or next-day during the burning season, and our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback queue. Not an app. A real voice.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and most liner and rebuild jobs in Huber Heights are completed in a single visit. We offer no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. And every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it is not right, we come back. No arguing, no paperwork chase.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Huber Heights
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
The Huber-era brick ranches of Huber Heights were built with clay tile flue liners that have now exceeded their 50-year service life. A stainless steel liner from Olympia Chimney or Famco gives you a lifetime-rated flue that handles modern gas appliances and wood-burning inserts alike. We size these precisely for the appliance, not the oversized flue left behind by an old oil-to-gas conversion. In neighborhoods like Huber Heights proper and the older sections near Brandt Pike, we’ve found that right-sizing the liner alone often solves draft problems homeowners have tolerated for a decade.
Flexible Liner Installation
Not every Huber Heights chimney runs straight. Some of the 1960s ranches have offset flues or modest bends that make rigid stainless steel impractical. A flexible liner, properly installed with professional-grade materials, navigates those offsets while still giving you a sealed, insulated flue path. We use DuraFlex and Gelco flexible products rated for the application, not the thin-wall substitutes some operators push. Flexible liner jobs in Huber Heights typically run $1,800-$3,200 installed.
Liner Replacement
When a clay tile liner has cracked, spalled, or detached from the flue wall - common in Huber Heights homes where decades of freeze-thaw cycling have done their work - replacement is the only safe option. We remove the damaged material and install a new liner system appropriate for your fuel type and appliance. This is not a maintenance item you defer. A compromised liner allows heat, gases, and creosote to reach combustible framing. We document the condition with camera footage before and after, so you see exactly what changed.
Partial Chimney Rebuild
Many Huber Heights chimneys need more than a liner. The mortar crown on a 1965 brick ranch may have eroded to the point that water is saturating the wythes, or the top several courses of brick have loosened. A partial rebuild addresses the damaged section without the cost of full reconstruction. We match existing brick and mortar color where possible, and we always install a proper concrete crown with drip edge and waterproofing. Partial rebuilds in Huber Heights typically range $2,800-$4,500.

Trusted Brands We Service in Huber Heights
We work exclusively with professional-grade materials: HeatShield for cerfractory flue resurfacing, Gelco and Olympia Chimney for stainless and flexible liner systems, and Famco for termination fittings and caps. These are not builder-grade substitutes. We stock common Huber Heights liner diameters and fitting configurations locally, which means faster turnaround and no waiting on a drop-ship from out of state. When your neighbor on Chambersburg Road needs a liner and we find the same specification on your flue, we already know the parts fit.
Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Huber Heights Homes
- Cracked clay tile from freeze-thaw damage. The Dayton metro’s winter temperature swings above and below 32°F are brutal on 1960s mortar joints. A hairline crack in October becomes a spalled tile by March, opening gaps where combustion gases can escape into the chimney cavity.
- Oversized flues after oil-to-gas conversion. Hundreds of Huber Heights ranches switched from oil heat to natural gas in the 1980s and 1990s, but the flue was never resized. An oversized flue runs too cool, producing acidic condensation that eats clay tile and accelerates creosote buildup.
- Crumbling mortar crowns with no drip edge. The original poured crowns on Huber-era homes were often flat or poorly sloped, with no overhang to shed water. After 50+ years, they crack and allow water straight into the masonry core, where it destroys the liner from the outside in.
- Stage-2 or stage-3 creosote glazing. Older, oversized flues in Huber Heights burn cooler and wetter than modern systems. That produces glazed creosote that standard brushing won’t remove, and that glazing is itself a fire hazard that demands professional remediation before any liner work proceeds.
