Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving out to Camas since 1984, long before the subdivisions climbed the benchlands. Russell Haines started this company on the principle that a homeowner deserves to see what we see, and that hasn’t changed. When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers, 24 hours a day. We’ll give you a real arrival window, and we’ll be there when we say.

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

Camas homeowners know the difference between a technician who understands Gorge wind dynamics and one who’s guessing. We’ve rebuilt chimney crowns on homes along Everett Street where the east wind hits like a freight train, and we’ve relineed factory-built units in the Lacamas Lake area where the newer construction demands precise metal-to-metal fitting. That split experience matters here in a way it doesn’t in Fairview or Troutdale.

Our reviews from Camas customers consistently mention two things: the photos we show them, and the fact that we explain what’s actually broken before we quote a price. No surprises on the bill. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every liner and rebuild job we do in Clark County, in writing, with no arguing.

Response time to Camas averages same-day or next-day during peak season. We keep HeatShield and Gelco materials stocked for the 98607 market specifically, which means we’re not ordering parts while your fireplace sits cold. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Most jobs done in one visit. That’s been our standard for over 42 years.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Camas

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

For the masonry chimneys common in Camas’s older neighborhoods near downtown and along Georgia Avenue, a stainless steel liner is often the only way to safely vent a modern, efficient appliance. The original clay flue tiles in these 1910s-1940s structures crack from thermal cycling, especially after years of the low, slow burns that CCAA curtailment days encourage. We use DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless systems, sized precisely to your appliance’s BTU output and your chimney’s interior dimensions. A typical stainless liner installation in Camas runs $2,800-$4,200.

Flexible Liner Systems

Flexible liners solve the offset problems we see constantly in Camas’s hillside homes, where chimneys were often built around structural constraints rather than ideal draft geometry. The winding flues above homes on Prune Hill and the upper benchlands can defeat rigid liners entirely. We map the interior with our Level-2 camera first, then specify the right FlexKing or DuraFlex flexible system to navigate those offsets without compromising flow. Flexible liner jobs in Camas generally fall between $3,200-$4,800, with the camera inspection and plain-English verdict included.

Liner Replacement

When an existing liner has failed, whether from corrosion, separation at the joints, or damage from a chimney fire, replacement isn’t optional, it’s protective. In Camas, we replace liners that were improperly sized by previous installers more often than you’d expect, especially in the 1990s-2000s subdivisions where speed sometimes beat precision. We remove the failed system, inspect the surrounding masonry for hidden water damage (common given our 44 inches of annual rain), and install a new liner with proper top-sealing and insulation. Liner replacement in Camas typically costs $3,500-$5,500.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

Not every failing chimney needs to come down to the roofline. In Camas’s historic core, we regularly perform partial rebuilds of crowns, shoulders, and the top few courses of brick where Gorge wind-driven rain has done its worst damage. Russell Haines has specified these repairs on homes within sight of the mill, and the approach is always the same: document with photos, explain what can be saved and what cannot, quote upfront, then execute with professional-grade materials. Partial rebuilds in Camas range from $4,500-$7,500 depending on scaffold needs and masonry matching.

Trusted Brands We Service in Camas

We don’t substitute. Every liner and rebuild component we install in Camas comes from the brands that the trade trusts: HeatShield for cerfractory flue resurfacing, Gelco for caps and screening sized to withstand Gorge wind loads, and Olympia Chimney for stainless and flexible flue systems. We maintain local inventory specifically for the 98607 service area, which means when we diagnose your chimney on Monday, we’re often installing Tuesday. No waiting on freight from the East Coast. No “close enough” fittings. The part that goes in your chimney is the part the engineer specified.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Camas Homes

• Gorge wind downdraft destroying liner top connections. The east wind events that funnel through the Columbia River Gorge create positive pressure at the chimney top that can separate flexible liner collars and accelerate crown deterioration. We see this on hillside homes above the river more than anywhere else in Clark County, and we specify wind-resistant cap and termination assemblies accordingly.
• Third-stage glazed creosote after CCAA curtailment periods. When no-burn days lift, Camas homeowners tend to fire hard and fast, but the preceding weeks of low smoldering have already laid down a dense, tar-like deposit. This glazed creosote insulates the flue, overheats the liner, and in severe cases requires full liner replacement rather than cleaning.
• Water intrusion through moss-compromised crowns. Our 44 inches of annual rainfall, combined with the tree canopy in neighborhoods near Lacamas Lake, keeps chimney crowns damp enough for moss colonization. That biological growth holds moisture against the masonry, accelerates freeze-thaw spalling, and leaks directly onto metal liners where corrosion begins out of sight.
• Prefab fireplace insert liner incompatibility in newer subdivisions. The zero-clearance units installed in Camas’s 1990s-2010s construction were often paired with liners that don’t meet current UL standards, or were never properly connected at the appliance collar. We find this during Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Camas inspections, and we correct it before it becomes a house fire.
