Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving to North Andover since 1984, long enough to know which subdivisions east of Route 125 have the 1950s clay-tile liners that crack every twenty years, and which historic homes around the Common still run four flues through a single hand-laid brick stack.

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

North Andover homeowners tend to stay put. The colonials and capes here have been handed down or held for decades, and the people who own them remember the contractor who showed up late, the one who left a mess, the one whose “warranty” turned out to be a verbal promise that evaporated. We understand that. We’ve built our company on the opposite experience.

Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see on the spot and a plain-English verdict - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman. No scare tactics. No jargon. If your liner is sound, we’ll say so. If it’s not, we’ll show you exactly where it fails and what it costs to fix.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise governs every job: in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s been our standard for over 42 years, and it’s why homeowners from the subdivisions off Osgood Street to the historic district around the Common keep our number posted by the phone.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained specifically on the multi-flue masonry chimneys that dominate North Andover’s housing stock, including work covered under our Chimney Cap & Crown in North Andover. Most liner and rebuild jobs are completed in a single visit, with no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in North Andover

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

A stainless steel liner is the right choice for most North Andover homes with a single furnace or fireplace flue that has cracked clay tile or no liner at all. We use DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney products, sized precisely to your appliance and venting configuration. In the colonial-revival homes that fill the subdivisions west of Route 125, we regularly find original clay tile that was never meant to handle the lower exhaust temperatures of modern gas inserts - a mismatch that corrodes the tile and lets combustion gases seep into living spaces. A properly sized stainless liner fixes that permanently.

Flexible Liner Installation

Some North Andover chimneys - especially the offset flues in pre-Revolutionary center-chimney homes near the Town Common - have bends or transitions that rigid pipe simply cannot navigate. A flexible liner from DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney threads through those offsets without dismantling brickwork. We’ve installed flexible liners in chimneys built before 1800 where the flue turns twice between the basement furnace and the roofline, and we’ve done it without disturbing the historic fabric of the house. That’s the kind of problem-solving that comes from four decades of working on Merrimack Valley chimneys.

Liner Replacement

When an existing liner has failed - cracked, corroded, or improperly sized - removal and replacement is often the only safe option. In North Andover, we see this most often in homes that converted from oil heat to gas in the 1990s or 2000s, leaving a clay-tile liner sized for hot oil exhaust now handling cooler, wetter gas byproducts. The condensation destroys the tile from the inside out. We pull the old liner, inspect the surrounding masonry with our camera, and install a new stainless or flexible liner that matches your current system. Done right - and we stand behind it.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

North Andover’s inland Merrimack Valley location means severe freeze-thaw cycling every winter. Snow and ice load onto chimney crowns, water seeps into hairline cracks, and by spring the brick faces are spalling and mortar joints are crumbling. A partial rebuild addresses the damaged section - often the crown, the top few courses of brick, and the flue surround - without the cost of tearing down the entire stack. We match existing brick and mortar where possible, and we always recommend a proper crown wash and cap installation to prevent the same damage next winter. We also handle Chimney Repair in North Andover for smaller masonry issues that don’t require rebuild-level work.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Andover

We stock professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - no builder-grade substitutes, no special-order delays that leave your chimney open for weeks. Our trucks carry the common liner diameters and fittings for the furnaces and inserts we see most often in North Andover’s 01845 zip code, which means faster turnaround and fewer return trips. When a historic home near the Common needs something specialized, we source it directly and coordinate the install around your schedule. The brands we use are the same ones specified by factory-built fireplace manufacturers and municipal inspectors across Massachusetts; they carry the listings and warranties that protect your investment.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in North Andover Homes

• Clay-tile liner failure after oil-to-gas conversion. Hundreds of North Andover homes converted heating systems in recent decades, and the original clay liners - sized for 600°F oil exhaust - now handle 300°F gas exhaust that condenses into acidic moisture. The tile cracks, the mortar between tiles dissolves, and carbon monoxide risks rise. We catch this with camera inspection and fix it with a properly sized stainless or flexible liner.
• Multi-flue chimney deterioration in center-chimney colonials. The stacked flues in these homes share a single brick mass, so damage to one flue often compromises the whole structure. Water from a cracked crown on the furnace flue seeps across to the fireplace flue, accelerating freeze-thaw damage throughout. Our inspections check every flue individually, and our rebuilds restore structural integrity to the entire stack.
• Historic refractory mortar at end of life. In the 1700s-era homes around the North Andover Town Common, the firebox mortar may be original or last replaced decades ago. It powders, it gaps, it lets heat reach combustible framing. During liner work, we inspect the firebox and smoke chamber and rebuild with HeatShield refractory mortar where needed - part of the same job, not an upsell surprise.
• Crown and cap damage from nor’easter ice loads. North Andover takes the full brunt of Merrimack Valley winter storms, and a poorly poured crown or missing cap channels water directly into the flue system. We rebuild crowns with proper slope and overhang, install Gelco or Famco caps sized to your flue count, and guarantee the workmanship.
