How Famco Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Famco Flex-Liner accordion collapse in the Attleboro freeze-thaw cycle. The Flex-Liner’s corrugated wall can fatigue at stress points where the chimney shifts slightly through our hard New England winters, especially in the pre-1980s Attleboro homes near Highland Park with softer mortar beds. We find the collapsed section on camera, measure the exact ovality, and replace with a correctly sized DuraFlex or Gelco flexible liner rated for the appliance BTU output - not a generic downsized tube that’ll choke the draft.
• Famco rigid stainless tee-body weld corrosion. The 304-series tee bodies on older Famco rigid liner systems develop pinhole leaks at the weld seam where acidic condensate pools, common in Attleboro’s older colonials with exterior chimneys that run cold. We don’t patch and pray. We pull the tee, inspect the adjoining flue tile, and install a replacement with proper condensate drainage - OEM Famco when available, or an Olympia Chimney equivalent with matching gauge and seam welding.
• Famco factory-built chimney chase pan failure masking as liner trouble. The galvanized chase pans on Famco S-2100 and S-3200 series factory-built chimneys rust through at the center cone, sending water down what looks like a liner leak. We’ve chased this misdiagnosis in Attleboro’s Woodcock Reservoir corridor more than once. The fix is a custom-fabricated copper or stainless chase pan with proper drip edge and cricket, then verification that the Famco inner liner is still dry and intact.
• Famco flex-to-rigid adapter loosening from thermal cycling. The mechanical connection where Famco flexible liner meets a rigid starter section can back off over seasons of expansion and contraction, creating a gap that leaks creosote and combustion gases into the smoke chamber. Our crew torque-tests every adapter on installation and uses the correct Famco-specific clamp and ferrule - not a generic gear clamp from the hardware store that’ll loosen again in eighteen months.
• Famco liner oversizing in converted Attleboro fireplaces. Original Famco liner specs assumed open masonry fireplaces; when homeowners later install a wood insert or gas appliance, the liner diameter is often too large for proper draft. We calculate the exact appliance BTU and flue requirement, then resize with a correctly dimensioned liner - sometimes a smaller Famco-compatible, sometimes a HeatShield cerfractory flue seal if the masonry is sound and sizing allows. The chimney doesn’t care what you paid for the house. It just needs to be right.

What Famco Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Attleboro

What moves the price: chimney height, roof pitch and accessibility, whether the existing Famco liner is extractable or fused in place, and if the surrounding masonry requires repointing or rebuild. Attleboro’s older homes with multiple flue offsets or embedded thimbles take more time - we quote that honestly upfront.
