Chimney liner repair in Memphis, TN

A liner proposal should identify the existing system, show the defect, and explain why the proposed repair or replacement fits the connected appliance. Avoid choosing a liner from price or diameter alone.
Memphis homes and their flues
Public figures for Memphis as a whole. They describe local housing and heating, not your home, so the visit still starts with your own chimney.
- Median year built
- 1970
- Half of Memphis's housing units were built in 1970 or earlier, so the median Memphis chimney had about 53 years behind it by the 2023 end of the estimates. Nashville, also in Tennessee, records 1985, 15 years newer. A liner fitted around 1970 was sized for the appliance of 1970; what matters now is whether it suits the one connected today.

- Homes heated mainly with utility gas
- 42.9%
- 42.9% of occupied Memphis homes heat primarily with utility gas, so about 57.1% run on oil, electricity, propane or something else. Wood is the primary heat in 0.1% of them. A liner has to suit the appliance it vents, and in Memphis that is a gas appliance about 42.9% of the time.

- Homes heated mainly with wood
- 0.1%
- 0.1% of occupied Memphis homes heat primarily with wood, against 42.9% on utility gas — a gap of 42.8 percentage points. Chattanooga and Nashville, also in Tennessee, record the same figure; across the 4 Tennessee cities on this site it runs from 0.1% to 0.2%. At 0.1%, almost no Memphis home depends on wood for heat, so most fires here are occasional — which still leaves deposits, and leaves the flue idle long enough for debris and nests to collect.

- Heating degree days a year
- 3,285
- The NOAA climate-normals station nearest Memphis averages 3,285 heating degree days a year. Knoxville, also in Tennessee, records 3,955, about 20% more. Degree days measure heating demand, not freeze-thaw cycles, so 3,285 says roughly how long a Memphis flue is in use across a year, not how much the masonry around it moves.

Chimney liner repair in TennesseeQuestions about liners
General answers. The findings at your home come first.
Should I stop using the appliance on that flue?
If a report or the findings say the liner is damaged, keep the appliance on that flue off until it is repaired: a damaged liner can let heat or combustion gases reach parts of the house they should not. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave and call 911.Source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Carbon Monoxide Fact Sheet
