Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving to Wichita from our Los Angeles headquarters for over 42 years, and we know the difference between a Riverside bungalow built in 1926 and a postwar ranch out near 21st and Woodlawn. That matters because the chimney problems are different, the liner systems are different, and the repair approach has to match. Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild team doesn’t guess - we inspect, document, and fix it right the first time.

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

Wichita homeowners have called us since 1984 because we treat their houses like the long-term investments they are. Russell Haines built this company on the K.E.Y.S. code - Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it - and that still governs how we price, schedule, and warranty every liner job from Delano to College Hill.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney on every truck. Most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in Wichita finish in one visit. We don’t leave you with a half-repaired flue and a return appointment three weeks out.

When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers - not a menu, not a callback promise, not an app. That’s been true every hour of every day for over four decades. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing: if it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing.

We document every inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. In Wichita’s older neighborhoods, where mid-century gas conversions hide inside original masonry chimneys, that documentation can reveal carbon monoxide risks that a standard visual check from the firebox opening will miss entirely.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Wichita

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

A stainless steel liner is the right choice for most Wichita homeowners with deteriorating clay tile flues, especially in the 1920s-1950s brick bungalows packed into Riverside and College Hill. These homes were built with unlined or single-wythe flues that never met modern NFPA 211 standards. We install rigid or flexible DuraFlex stainless liners sized precisely to your appliance, with proper insulation to handle Wichita’s dramatic freeze-thaw cycles. A typical stainless liner installation in Wichita runs $2,200-$3,800.

Flexible Liner for Tight Flues and Offset Chimneys

Some of Wichita’s older chimneys - particularly the Tudor revivals near Douglas and Oliver - have offset flues or narrow passages that won’t accept a rigid liner. Flexible liners navigate those bends without compromising draft performance. In neighborhoods where the original masons took shortcuts, flexibility isn’t a compromise; it’s the only way to get a safe, code-compliant venting path. Flexible liner installations in Wichita typically cost $1,800-$3,200.

Liner Replacement for Failed Clay Tile

Clay tile liners crack. It’s what they do after sixty to ninety years of Wichita’s sub-zero wind chills and hundred-degree summers. We see this constantly in ZIP codes 67213, 67214, 67215, and 67216, where postwar construction leaned heavily on clay flue tiles now well past their service life. Our Level-2 camera inspection shows you exactly where the failure is - vertical cracks, shattered segments, or gaps at the mortar joints - and we replace with a system appropriate to your fuel type and appliance. Liner replacement in Wichita generally falls between $1,800 and $3,500.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

When the upper courses of brick are spalling, the crown is cracked through, or the flue opening has deteriorated beyond liner repair, a partial rebuild is the square deal. Wichita’s position in Hail Alley means we’ve replaced countless chase covers and rebuilt upper sections after softball-sized hail drove water into compromised mortar joints. We match existing brick where possible, pour a proper concrete crown with correct overhang and drip edge, and install a vented cap to handle those persistent south-to-southwest prairie winds. Partial rebuilds in Wichita typically range from $3,500-$6,500.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wichita

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our trucks carry HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing products for restoring sound but pitted clay liners, Gelco stainless components for lasting corrosion resistance, and Olympia Chimney systems for precise fit in modern and historic flues alike. Because we stock these materials and work directly with Famco for specialized caps and fittings, we don’t wait two weeks for parts to ship to Wichita. That means faster turnaround, fewer return trips, and a job that stays on schedule. The number on your estimate is the number on your invoice - no surprises on the bill.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Wichita Homes

• Cracked clay tile from freeze-thaw cycling. Wichita’s January wind chills drop below zero, then July pushes past 100°F. That expansion and contraction shatters century-old clay flue tiles, especially in the unrelined masonry stacks common to Delano and Midtown.
• Gas-appliance flues tapped into original wood-burning chimneys. In Riverside and older Midtown homes, 1950s-60s conversions routed furnace exhaust into chimneys never designed for it. The result is cracked shared liners, reversed draft, and carbon monoxide exposure that a firebox peek won’t catch.
• Hail-damaged crowns and chase covers. Wichita sits in Hail Alley. We’ve found dimpled metal chase covers and fractured concrete crowns that channel water straight into the flue, accelerating liner deterioration and threatening the structural brick.
• Wind-driven negative draft on shorter stacks. Those sustained prairie winds pressurize the windward side of chimneys, especially on single-story ranch homes from the 1960s-70s East Side expansion. Smoke and combustion gases back up into living spaces, and homeowners blame the fireplace when the real culprit is stack height and liner sizing.
