Liners
A flue lining in a masonry chimney is defined as "A clay, ceramic, or metal conduit installed inside of a chimney, intended to contain the combustion products, direct them to the outside atmosphere, and protect the chimney walls from heat and corrosion." Although building codes vary from one state or locality to another, the installation of flue lining has been recommended since the early part of this century, and indeed most fire codes now mandate liners. - See more at: http://www.csia.org/homeowner-resources/about_chimney_liners.aspx#sthash.VRsfyRZa.dpuf

A flue lining in a chimney is a clay, ceramic or metal conduit installed inside of a chimney. It is intended to contain the combustion products, direct them to the outside atmosphere and protect the chimney walls from heat and corrosion. Flue gases are acidic in nature and eat away the mortar joints in a chimney. As mortar joints erode, heat transfers more rapidly to the nearby combustibles and dangerous gases, such as carbon monoxide, can leak into the living areas of your home.

tuckpointing
Repointing deteriorated mortar joints is one of the most effective and permanent ways of decreasing water entry into brickwork. This is because the most common means of water entry into a brick masonry wall is through debonded, cracked or deteriorated mortar joints. This applies to brick homes, chimneys and steps. Conditions which may require repointing include: (1) mortar erosion more than 6 mm, (2) crumbling mortar, (3) hairline cracks in the mortar, and (4) cracks between the brick and mortar.
