Chimney Liner & Cap Installation in Douglasville, GA

Chimney Liner & Cap Installation for Douglasville Homeowners

Douglasville sits at the far western end of what we cover, and it splits cleanly in two. The subdivisions that spread west and south through the 1990s and 2000s are almost entirely prefabricated fireplaces — metal fireboxes, framed chases, chase covers that are now reaching the age where they rust through. The historic core near O'Neal Plaza is the opposite: older masonry, some of it substantial, which has had varying levels of care. Because it is at our edge, we tend to schedule Douglasville work in blocks, and that is worth knowing when you call — we will usually offer you a choice of specific days.

1990s-2000s prefabricated systems across the newer subdivisions, now at chase-cover replacement age; older masonry in the historic core.

The liner is what stands between the fire and the timber frame of your house. Plenty of intown Atlanta bungalows were built with no liner at all — just brick — and plenty more still carry the original clay tiles, which crack when they are heated unevenly and open a path for heat and flue gases into the surrounding structure. A stainless liner sized to the appliance solves that permanently, and it usually improves the draft as a side effect, because most old flues are far larger than what a modern insert or gas appliance actually wants. The cap is the cheaper end of the same principle: an open flue is an invitation to rain, leaves and every nesting bird in the neighbourhood.
