Famco Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Easton: What to Know First

We provide independent Famco chimney liner and rebuild service in Easton, with most Famco liner replacements and partial rebuilds completed in a single visit after our Level-2 camera inspection. A typical Famco stainless steel liner installation runs $2,800-$4,200 in the Easton market, and we quote that number upfront before any work begins. This page is for homeowners who already know they’ve got a Famco product in their chimney stack and need someone who understands how these systems age in Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw climate, not a generalist who’ll guess at the parts list.

How Famco Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Famco FL-series flexible liners develop pinhole corrosion at the flex points where condensate pools during shoulder-season burns. Easton’s humid summers followed by hard January freezes accelerate this. We pull the old FL liner with a controlled extraction rig and replace it with a properly sized DuraFlex or new Famco equivalent, matched to your appliance’s BTU output.
• Famco rigid stainless collars and storm collars on older Easton colonials separate from the flue wall when the original installer used generic silicone instead of Famco’s high-temp sealant spec. Water runs behind the collar and rots the surrounding masonry. We reseat with the correct sealant, or replace with a Gelco or Copperfield collar if the original Famco part is discontinued.
• Famco galvanized vent connectors in pre-1990 Easton installations rot from the inside out where furnace condensate meets coal-region sulfur residue. The outside looks fine; the inside is paper-thin. We scope it, show you the photo, and replace with stainless steel - never another galvanized run.
• Famco UL-listed chimney caps on homes near the Bushkill Creek floodplain clog with leaf debris and hold moisture against the liner top. The mesh corrodes at the weld points. We clean or replace the cap and inspect the top three feet of liner for corresponding water damage.
• Famco tee-connector assemblies in fireplace insert installations work loose after a decade of thermal cycling. The tee body cracks where the snout meets the main barrel. We stock the common Famco tee sizes, and when Famco has phased one out, we fabricate a proper transition from Olympia Chimney or HeatShield components that maintains the UL listing.

Our Famco Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We book your Level-2 inspection - no deposit, no pressure.
2. 2
   Camera inspection and documentation. Our tech runs a chimney camera from top to bottom, captures photos of every defect, and explains what you’re seeing in plain English. Russell Haines reviews every Famco job personally before we quote.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your Famco part is current, we source OEM. If it’s discontinued - common on FL-series liners from the 2000s - we specify a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco that matches or exceeds the original spec. You see the parts list before we order.
4. 4
   The repair. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most Famco liner replacements and partial rebuilds in one visit. We protect your floors, work with the fireplace cold, and clean up behind ourselves.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and report. We run a smoke test or draft test depending on the appliance, then hand you a photo report showing the completed work.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. In writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right.

Why Easton Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Famco Work

We’ve been working on Easton chimneys since 1984. We know which Famco parts were spec’d on the colonial restorations near the Delaware Canal, and which ones were slapped in by flippers during the 2005 boom. Our Level-2 inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman. If the flue is clear and the mortar is sound, that’s all the good news you need. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means we stand behind every Famco liner and rebuild in writing, no arguing. And because we stock and source across Famco, DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, we don’t leave you waiting when a part is back-ordered.
