Chimney Relining with SmokTite®
A damaged chimney liner can let dangerous gases, heat, and sparks escape into your home, increasing the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide exposure. We use SmokTite®, a spray-applied ceramic-based coating, to restore and reinforce your chimney’s lining without the cost or disruption of a full metal liner replacement.
The Chimney Sweep has been Dallas–Fort Worth’s trusted chimney relining resource since 1980, using industry-leading products like SmokTite® to keep fireplaces operating safely and efficiently.
Why Choose SmokTite® for Chimney Relining?
Unlike traditional metal liners, SmokTite® is spray-applied, creating a seamless, airtight, and heat-resistant barrier inside your chimney. It seals gaps and cracks that would otherwise be structural weaknesses in the flue and smoke chamber, withstands extreme temperatures for better fire safety, and creates a smooth surface that improves airflow and reduces creosote buildup. It’s also a more affordable, less invasive option compared to installing a new metal liner, and meets or exceeds NFPA 211 fire safety codes for chimney relining.

Our SmokTite® Chimney Relining Process
Most jobs are completed in about two hours, start to finish.
Thorough Chimney Inspection
We use specialized tools and cameras to check for cracks, gaps, deteriorating mortar joints, and any damage that could compromise the chimney's integrity.
Chimney Cleaning & Preparation
We remove creosote, soot, and debris with industrial-grade brushes and vacuums, and protect the fireplace opening and nearby furnishings.
Application of SmokTite®
The ceramic-based material is sprayed in multiple layers, filling cracks and reinforcing weak areas.
Curing and Drying
SmokTite® cures quickly, hardening within hours into a strong, heat-resistant barrier.
Final Inspection & Testing
We verify full coverage, perform draft testing, and provide before-and-after images showing the improvement.
If poor draft or lingering smoke odor is your main concern rather than a damaged liner, our smoke problem correction page covers the broader set of causes and fixes.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Relining
- Poor draft or smoke backing up into the room
- Excessive soot or creosote buildup
- Visible cracks or gaps in the flue liner
- Unpleasant odors coming from the fireplace
- It's been years since your last full chimney inspection
Annual inspections help catch these issues before they become a safety concern — don’t wait until a liner problem turns into a chimney fire risk.
