Masonry repairs before the liner
Liners hang inside the chimney and depend on it. Liner makers want the structure sound before their product goes in, with loose or cracked masonry and open joints repaired first. The crown matters most, because the top plate sits on it and water through a cracked crown reaches the brick whatever the liner does.
When the inspection turns up that kind of work in Brentwood, it is listed ahead of the liner with the reason, so the order of work makes sense and nothing new is installed on a failing base. Where the masonry is sound, that line is simply left off. Changing stoves or inserts in Brentwood? Get the new liner sized at no charge by calling (904) 920-5495.

How chimney relining runs
-
Sweep and prove the flue
The flue is swept clean, then a test piece or cone is lowered to make sure the liner will pass every bend.
-
Size and alloy chosen
The diameter comes from the appliance collar or the fireplace opening, and the alloy from the fuel.
-
Liner run down and joined
The liner goes down with its insulation where the listing asks, and joins the stove, insert or smoke chamber below.
-
Top plate, cap and record
The top plate is clamped and sealed, the cap fastened, and you get the installation record.
Why chimneys get relined in Brentwood
Inland in Brentwood, salt has little to do with relining. Cracked clay tile, a new stove or insert, or a flue the wrong size for the appliance are the usual reasons.
Each one calls for a liner sized to what burns below it.

A sized, listed liner booked 72 hours or less after the free inspection comes 10% off.
Joining a liner to a fireplace insert
An insert sits inside the fireplace with its flue collar pointing up into the smoke chamber. A stove adapter from the liner maker fits onto that collar and clamps to the bottom of the liner, giving a sealed connection from insert to cap.
Where the collar and the flue do not line up, a listed elbow at 30, 45 or 90 degrees carries the liner across. The insert's own manual sets any extra rules for its connection, and those come first. The damper frame may need to be cut back to let the liner through, which is listed as its own step. The insert is then set back in place and its surround refitted.
The cap on a relined flue
A relined flue gets its own cap, clamped to the top plate or the liner collar. It keeps rain out of the liner, where water mixes with deposit and attacks the metal, and its screen keeps birds and animals out of a passage that is now too narrow to clear by hand.
Where the chimney had a single wide cap over several flues, the new liner cap may sit higher than the old cap allows. We check the fit and say whether the old cap is refitted, raised or replaced with an arrangement that covers every flue. The screen gets checked again on every sweep after that.
Where the wall opening for a stove goes
When a stove connects through the side of the chimney, the opening in the masonry has to hold the connector firmly and keep the required clearance to any wood around it. Liner makers also ask that the opening not be placed directly behind the appliance, so the connection can be reached for inspection and cleaning.
If an old opening sits at the wrong height for the new stove, too close to framing, or behind where the stove will stand, a new opening is made and the old one closed with masonry. That work is priced separately from the liner.
Measured before a liner is ordered in Brentwood
- Rigid or flexible liner chosen to suit a straight or offset flue
- Insert adapter fitted and clamped to the insert's flue collar
- Maker's instructions and the installation record left with you
- Permit need and who files it, stated in writing up front
Before a liner is ordered
Does a wood stove need a stainless liner?
The code requires the flue lining to suit the appliance, and a stove set into an existing masonry chimney needs a flue sized to its collar. Our answer is a listed stainless liner from the stove collar to the top, sized from the stove's manual.
Can I use the 10% off on relining?
Yes. Mention the 10% off when you book the estimate visit, and it comes off the relining if you book it within 72 hours of that visit.
