Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Piqua’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company

We’ve been driving to Piqua from our base of operations for over 42 years, and in that time we’ve lined and rebuilt chimneys in the Victorian-era homes near downtown, the post-war ranches out toward the mall, and the brick workers’ cottages that line the old canal corridor, providing Piqua Fireplace Services throughout. Russell Haines started this company in 1984 with the belief that a chimney technician should explain what he’s doing the way a good mechanic explains a transmission repair: plainly, with photos you can see, and a price that doesn’t change once the work begins.

Piqua homeowners have told us the same thing for decades - they called us because the last company couldn’t explain why the liner failed, or they never got the photos they were promised, or the estimate ballooned once the crew showed up. We don’t work that way. Our Level-2 camera inspections end with digital photos and a plain-English verdict. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they complete most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in a single visit. The price we quote is the price on the invoice. And if something isn’t right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it - in writing, no arguing.

Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue. A real person who can get a technician to Piqua when you need one.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Piqua

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

Stainless steel liners are the right choice for most Piqua homes with deteriorated clay tile or no liner at all. The older masonry chimneys in neighborhoods like the ones along Wood Street and down by the Great Miami River were built for coal-burning appliances with oversized flues. When those furnaces were converted to natural gas or oil, the flue size mismatch created chronic drafting problems and carbon monoxide risk. A properly sized stainless steel liner from Olympia Chimney or Famco corrects the flue diameter, contains combustion gases, and meets modern NFPA 211 standards. Most installations run $2,200-$3,800 in Piqua and are completed in one day.

Flexible Liner Installation

Flexible liners solve the problem that rigid liners can’t: offset chimneys with bends, shifts, or structural quirks common in Piqua’s 1880-1940 housing stock. We’ve installed flexible DuraFlex liners through chimneys that angle around staircase additions, past modified rooflines, and through masonry that has settled over a century of freeze-thaw cycles. The flexibility lets us thread a complete liner system without dismantling brickwork that you may not want disturbed. Typical flexible liner jobs in Piqua range from $2,800-$4,200 depending on length and diameter.

Liner Replacement

Sometimes the liner itself is cracked, separated, or coated with glazed creosote that can’t be safely removed. In Piqua, we see this most often in homes where homeowners returned to wood-burning fireplaces after years of disuse, unaware that the original clay tile liner had already failed from thermal stress. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Piqua crews often spot these failures during routine sweeps and refer them to our liner team. Replacement involves removing the damaged material, inspecting the surrounding masonry, and installing a new system sized to your appliance. Most liner replacements in Piqua cost $1,800-$3,500.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

When the top courses of brick are spalling, the crown is cracked through, or the mortar joints have turned to sand, a new liner alone won’t solve the problem. Piqua’s location in the Great Miami River valley traps moisture and accelerates freeze-thaw damage on exposed chimney tops. We’ve rebuilt crowns and upper sections on homes from the 1890s near the old canal route and from the 1920s blocks off Ash Street through our Chimney Repair in Piqua services. Partial rebuilds typically run $3,200-$5,800 in Piqua and include rebuilding the crown with proper slope and overhang, replacing deteriorated brick, and installing a new cap from Gelco to protect the investment.

Trusted Brands We Service in Piqua

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes, and we don’t substitute brands without telling you. For Piqua liner and rebuild jobs, we stock and install professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco - the same brands specified by factory-built fireplace manufacturers and required by most municipal building departments in Miami County. Keeping common diameters and fittings on our trucks means we don’t waste your time ordering parts. Most Piqua homeowners get their liner installed or their rebuild completed on the scheduled day, not two weeks later.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Piqua Homes

• Double-duty flues with size mismatches. Chimneys in the older blocks near the former Miami and Erie Canal route often served two appliances - one flue for the coal furnace, one for the fireplace. When gas units were vented into the larger furnace flue, the mismatch created chronic backdrafting and carbon monoxide risk we find on first-time inspections.
• Freeze-thaw spalling on exposed crowns. Piqua’s valley location holds cold, damp air against chimney masonry through repeated freeze-thaw cycles each winter. We’ve rebuilt crowns on homes where the top three courses of brick had completely deteriorated after twenty years of unchecked water intrusion.
• Cracked clay tile from fuel-type conversions. Original clay liners in Piqua’s worker cottages weren’t designed for the rapid temperature swings of modern gas appliances or the sustained high heat of wood-burning retrofits. Thermal shock opens cracks that let combustion gases leak into wall cavities.
• Glazed creosote in returned-to-service fireplaces. As heating costs have risen, more Piqua homeowners have returned to their original fireplaces after years of disuse. Sustained wood-burning seasons from November through March drive heavy creosote accumulation that obscures liner damage and creates fire risk.
