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

Tempe homeowners have called us for over four decades because we document what we find and explain it in plain English before any work starts. Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see on the screen and a written verdict, not a hard sell. Russell Haines built this company on the idea that a craftsman should be able to show his work, and that standard hasn’t changed since 1984.

We know the difference between a 1962 masonry fireplace in the ASU rental corridors and a 1992 zero-clearance unit in Ahwatukee Foothills, and we quote accordingly. Our technicians carry the right materials for both, which means most jobs finish in a single visit. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a callback queue.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every liner and rebuild job in Tempe: if it’s not right, we make it right, in writing, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s how we’ve stayed in business across the Valley for over 42 years.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Tempe

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

Stainless steel liners are the permanent fix for cracked clay flue tiles in Tempe’s older masonry chimneys. We install DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless systems rated for wood, gas, and pellet appliances, and we size them precisely for your fireplace or insert. In the 85282 ranch homes near Arizona State, where original clay flues have cycled through forty summers of 115°F heat and occasional winter freezes, stainless steel eliminates the thermal-shock failure pattern we’ve documented again and again. Most installations run $2,800-$4,200 and are completed in one day.

Flexible Liner for Offset or Tight Flues

Not every chimney in Tempe runs straight. The 1950s-1970s construction near University Drive often has offset flues or tight smoke chambers that rigid pipe won’t navigate. We use DuraFlex flexible stainless liners for these situations, pulled through from the top with minimal interior disruption. If your chimney has an offset above the firebox or a narrow throat, flexible liner is usually the only code-compliant path. Typical flexible installations in Tempe range from $3,200-$4,800 depending on length and access.

Liner Replacement for Failed or Missing Systems

Some Tempe chimneys have no functional liner at all, or the original has collapsed from thermal cycling, roof rat damage, or decades of monsoon debris. We remove the failed material, inspect the surrounding masonry with our camera, and install a new system sized to current NFPA 211 standards. In student rental properties along Rural Road and McClintock, we’ve found liners so deteriorated that combustion gases were leaking into wall cavities. Replacement jobs in Tempe typically cost $3,500-$5,500 for a standard masonry chimney.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

When the top courses of brick are separating, the crown has washed out, or the flue is exposed above the roofline, a partial rebuild restores structural integrity without tearing down the whole stack. We rebuild with matching brick where possible, pour a new concrete crown with proper drip edges and expansion joints, and install our Chimney Cap & Crown in Tempe that keeps out haboobs and roof rats. Partial rebuilds in Tempe run $4,500-$7,500 depending on height, scaffolding needs, and the condition of the existing wythes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tempe

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials: DuraFlex flexible and rigid liners, HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing systems for flue repair, and Copperfield chimney caps and crowns. These aren’t builder-grade substitutes, and we stock common sizes so Tempe customers aren’t waiting two weeks for a part to ship. When a monsoon blows through and you discover water running down the firebox, that local inventory matters. Our suppliers know our specs, and our technicians know how to install them to manufacturer’s warranty standards.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Tempe Homes

• Thermal-shock cracking in clay flue tiles. Tempe’s extreme swing, 115°F+ summer afternoons down to near-freezing January nights, fractures clay flue segments even in chimneys used sparingly. We find this most often in the 85282 and 85284 ZIP codes where 1960s-1970s construction still has original liners.
• Collapsed mortar crowns from UV and monsoon cycling. The concrete crown at your chimney top expands and contracts through Phoenix-area temperature extremes, and once it cracks, monsoon water enters the chase. In southern Tempe’s 1980s-1990s homes with prefabricated fireplaces, this water corrodes galvanized chase pans and rusts out the firebox enclosure.
• Roof rat colonization in uncapped flues. Endemic around Mill Avenue and the ASU corridors, roof rats nest in chimney flues that haven’t been inspected across multiple tenant cycles. Opening a damper without a prior camera inspection risks dropping a live nest into the living room, a known hazard in this market that we take seriously on every call.
• Dense caliche dust blockages from summer haboobs. July through September storms force fine desert debris into any uncapped or open flue. In fireplaces dormant all year, this material compacts against the damper or liner, restricting draft and creating a smoke hazard on first use.
