Chimney Relining
A new liner restores a flue that's cracked, gapped, or simply past its era.

Cast-In-Place Liner
Cast-in-place is the option homeowners are often told nobody local performs. We perform it. A form is set inside the existing flue and a dense refractory mix is pumped around it; the form is then withdrawn, leaving a seamless masonry liner poured to the shape of your chimney. Because it bonds to the old tile and brick, it does something a steel liner can't — it reinforces a flue that has already deteriorated, filling voids and missing mortar joints instead of simply passing through them. That makes it the right call for old, offset, or structurally tired chimneys where a stainless liner would leave the damage sitting behind it. It's a two-day job with cure time, quoted in writing after a camera scan.

Every cast-in-place liner includes:
- Camera scan and written scope before anything is poured
- Form set and refractory mix pumped the full flue height
- Voids and failed mortar joints filled as part of the pour
- Post-cure camera verification of the finished liner
- Written warranty terms
Scoped from a graded inspection
At PCS Services, a cast-in-place liner is never guesswork. We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the cast-in-place liner is built on.

FAQ
Common questions about cast-in-place liner.
What's actually included in the annual plan?
One full visit a year: a complete sweep, a top-to-bottom inspection, and a photo report you keep. Between visits you get the part you can't see — we track your schedule, send the reminders, and hold priority slots for plan members during the fall rush. If a repair ever comes up, you get a written quote first. There's no contract; the plan renews only if you want it to.
How do the reminders work?
Before we leave your first visit, next year's window goes on our calendar. When it gets close, we reach out — text or call, your choice — and you pick the exact day. If you don't answer, we try again. That's the entire trick of the plan: your chimney gets maintained because someone whose job it is remembered, not because you happened to.
Is a maintenance plan worth it for every home?
Honestly, no. If your chimney was built or fully relined in the past year, wait — it doesn't need a plan yet, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you one. Same if you have a gas-only fireplace you light twice a winter: an inspection every year or two covers you. Plans earn their keep for wood burners and busy households. On the fence? Ask. We'll tell you straight.
When should I book my yearly sweep?
Late spring through summer is the smart window. The chimney's done for the season, everything winter did to it is visible, and appointments are easy to get. Most people call in October instead, when the calendar's slammed and the first cold front is a week away. Either works. But book in June and you'll never think about it in October.
Why is fall such a rush?
Because the first cold snap is the chimney trade's alarm clock. From September through November, everyone who forgot their fireplace all year remembers it in the same two weeks, and every sweep in Dallas–Fort Worth is booked solid. It's the worst time to need an appointment, and it's the whole reason our plans schedule you automatically before the crowd shows up.
