After the fire department has gone

A chimney fire that has been put out can leave the flue split along its length. Clay tile does not handle a sudden jump in heat well, and the cracks it leaves are often out of sight from the room.

Under NFPA 211, a flue that has been through an event like that gets a deeper inspection, and the fireplace stays cold until it has one. We examine every tile, the joints and the masonry behind any open crack, then price repair or relining. Need the flue checked after a fire in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace? Our flue pros take calls at (904) 920-5495, and the inspection is free.

Flues that serve an appliance

For a flue connected to an appliance, the code sets a simpler floor: the flue is not to be smaller than the connector from the appliance (R1003.14). A flue shrunk by a repair below that size can spill gases at the appliance.

The code also points gas appliance flue linings to its fuel gas chapter, and the appliance's own instructions may set further limits. So before repairing a flue that serves a furnace or water heater, we read the appliance's rating plate and connector size. The repair method is chosen to keep the flue at or above what that appliance needs.

Resurfacing systems and their listing

Resurfacing applies a heat-resistant coat to the inside of the existing flue, sealing cracks and gaps so the passage is continuous and smooth again. The code accepts lining systems listed and labeled to UL 1777, and some resurfacing systems carry that listing.

A listed system has to be installed exactly as its instructions say, from surface preparation to coat thickness, or the listing no longer applies. We name the system and its listing on the estimate. Resurfacing suits a flue that is straight enough for the tools, sound enough to hold the coat and large enough to lose a little area.

When the honest answer is a new liner

Some flues cannot be repaired into a sound, correctly sized passage. Tiles that have shifted out of line, sections that have broken out, damage that runs the full height or a flue already too small for its fireplace all point the same way.

In those cases, a new liner sized to the fireplace or appliance is the fix. That is a separate job, and we price it as such rather than stacking repairs on a flue that will not hold them. You see the reasons written against the flue map, so the recommendation can be checked against what we found.
