We’ve been driving out to Morrow from our service routes for decades, and we know the difference between a 1965 brick ranch near Southlake Mall and a 1978 split-level off Jonesboro Road. The clay tile liners in these homes were never meant to last sixty years, and in Morrow they rarely have. Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild team carries the materials to fix most liner problems on the spot, and we document every inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict you can understand.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Morrow
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
For Morrow homeowners with a structurally sound chimney but a failed clay tile liner, a stainless steel liner is often the most durable solution. We size and install DuraFlex liners that carry a lifetime warranty and handle the temperature swings of Georgia’s intermittent winter burning pattern better than the original clay ever did. In the ranch homes near Mount Zion Road and the Lake Harbin area, we’ve found stainless steel liners particularly effective where the chimney run is straight and the firebox is original masonry.
Flexible Liner Installation
Not every Morrow chimney is straight. The offset flues in some of the 1970s homes near the Morrow city limits, especially those with additions built around the original chimney stack, require a flexible liner that can navigate bends without losing draft performance. We use professional-grade flexible liners from trusted manufacturers, and we video-scan the entire run before and after installation so you see the difference. A flexible liner installed correctly in a Morrow home with an offset flue will outlast the second or third replacement the homeowner would have needed with a rigid approach.
Liner Replacement
Sometimes the liner is past patching but the chimney structure itself is sound. That’s a liner replacement, and it’s one of the most common jobs we do in ZIP 30260. We remove the damaged clay tiles - often crumbling from decades of thermal cycling and moisture absorption - and install a new system sized precisely to your appliance. Because Morrow’s humid summers leave clay tiles damp and vulnerable to spalling, we frequently find that a liner replacement is the only way to bring a chimney up to code after a Level-2 inspection.
Partial Chimney Rebuild
When the liner failure has allowed heat and moisture to damage the surrounding masonry, a partial rebuild may be necessary. This typically involves rebuilding from the roofline up, including a new crown, new flue liner, and often new brick matching the original as closely as possible - all covered by our Morrow Chimney Cap & Crown expertise. In Morrow’s rental-heavy market, we’ve done partial rebuilds on properties where the landlord finally sent an inspector after years of tenant complaints about smoking fireplaces. The clay tile liner had failed, the crown was cracked, and the brick was spalling - but the firebox and smoke chamber below were still sound. A partial rebuild saved the structure and brought it to code.
Full Chimney Rebuild
The most extensive option, reserved for chimneys where the damage extends below the roofline or where the structure has shifted or settled. We’ve completed full rebuilds on Morrow homes where foundation movement or long-neglected moisture intrusion made anything less a temporary fix. Every full rebuild includes a new liner system, new crown, and our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Done right - and we stand behind it.
Liner Repair
Not every cracked liner needs full replacement. For localized damage - a few cracked tiles, minor gaps at the joints - we can sometimes perform a liner repair using HeatShield cerfractory sealant, which fills gaps and restores the liner’s integrity without a full tear-out. This works best when caught early, which is why we recommend a Level-2 camera inspection for any Morrow homeowner who’s noticed changes in draft performance or smell. The $89 Seasonal Tune-Up is often how these problems get found before they become expensive.

Trusted Brands We Service in Morrow
We don’t use builder-grade substitutes, and we don’t substitute brands mid-job without explaining why. For liner and rebuild work in Morrow, we stock and install DuraFlex stainless steel liners, HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing products, and Famco chimney caps and components. These are the brands that professional sweeps and rebuilders have relied on for decades, and we keep common sizes and configurations on our trucks to avoid delays. When a Morrow homeowner calls with a failed liner and a cold snap is forecast, that local inventory means we can often start the job within days, not weeks.
Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Morrow Homes
- Cracked clay tile liners from thermal cycling. The original clay liners in Morrow’s 1960s-1985 ranch homes were designed for occasional use, not the intense short burns that Georgia’s cold-snap pattern encourages. Decades of heating and cooling have left them cracked or shattered, creating paths for heat and combustion gases to reach surrounding framing.
- Moisture-damaged liners in rental properties. Because Morrow has one of the highest rates of renter-occupied housing in metro Atlanta, chimneys often sit unused and unmaintained between short-term tenants. We’ve found clay tiles so saturated with summer humidity that they spall and crumble at the touch, requiring liner repair or full replacement before any cleaning can be certified.
- Rusted dampers exposing liners to the elements. In rental properties managed from a distance, dampers are frequently found rusted fully open, allowing rain and humid air direct access to the liner year-round. By the time a technician arrives, the liner has absorbed enough moisture to fail inspection even if the homeowner never noticed a problem.
- Crown and mortar failure accelerating liner damage. Clayton County’s muggy summers promote moss and organic growth on chimney crowns, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter open cracks that funnel water directly onto the liner. We regularly rebuild crowns as part of liner jobs because the new liner won’t last if the crown above it is still failing.
