Chimney Liners and Care in Point Pleasant, NJ
We installed a chimney liner, with the venting connection and termination parts, at a Point Pleasant home. Here is what a liner installation includes.
Dr. Sweeper has completed a project in Point Pleasant, Ocean County: a chimney liner installation, including the venting connection and the termination components needed for the chimney system. The project is shown below.
Point Pleasant Borough is mostly detached, owner-occupied housing. The Census finds about 79% detached and 82% owner-occupied, with a median build year of 1970 and about 11% of homes built before 1950. The ACS median home value is about $575,000.
The photo at the top of our homepage shows the stainless steel cap at the top of a liner of this kind.

What a liner installation includes
A liner installation is more than the tube. The liner has to connect at the bottom to the appliance, run unbroken up the flue, and end at the top in a proper termination. The top is where water gets in, so the cap and the plate around the liner matter as much as the liner itself.
Why install one? A flue may be cracked or damaged, an appliance may have changed, or the old flue may be the wrong size. See chimney liners, do you need a chimney liner?, clay tile versus stainless steel and the Point Pleasant project.
Housing profile
What the housing mix means in Point Pleasant
Point Pleasant Borough is mostly detached, owner-occupied housing from around 1970. At that age, a liner often goes in because of a new appliance or a flue inspection, not because the house is old, which is the situation in the project above.
