Relining may be considered when inspection findings identify deterioration, damage or system changes that affect the existing liner. The appropriate recommendation depends on the condition and configuration of the chimney and connected appliance.
Does a new appliance require the chimney to be checked?
A new appliance or venting change may require evaluation of the existing liner, connections and venting configuration. The appropriate next step depends on the system involved and the conditions observed.
