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 Callahan, 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 Callahan? Get the new liner sized at no charge by calling (904) 920-5495.

What's Included
What relining covers in Callahan
- Rigid sections or flexible liner chosen for the flue's path
- Round liner pressed oval where the tile is narrow
- Broken tile cleared out of the liner's way
- Tee and clean-out fitted below a stove connection
How It Works
How chimney relining runs
-
Flue swept and proved
The old flue is cleaned and checked, and a test length or cone is lowered to confirm the liner will pass.
-
Liner sized to the appliance
The diameter comes from the stove collar, the insert or the fireplace opening, with insulation where the listing calls for it.
-
Liner lowered and connected
The liner goes down full height and joins a tee with a clean-out, or an adapter on the insert.
-
Top plate, clamp and cap
The top plate is fastened to the crown, the liner is clamped and trimmed, and a screened cap goes on.
Local Conditions
Flues with bends in Callahan
Some chimneys change direction partway up. Rigid liner sections cannot follow an offset, and flexible liner can.
We prove the path in your Callahan chimney with a test piece before the liner is cut to length.

Wrapping a liner in insulating blanket
Blanket insulation for a liner is a foil-faced ceramic fiber sheet. It is laid out flat, the liner and its bottom fitting set on top, and the blanket wrapped around with overlapping seams taped with foil tape along their length. A wire mesh sleeve then goes over the wrapped liner to hold the blanket in place as it is lowered.
The wrap starts at the bottom fitting and stops a few inches below the crown, where the instructions leave room for the liner to grow with heat. The blanket adds thickness, so the flue has to be proved with the wrap included.
Sizing a liner for an open fireplace
An open masonry fireplace has no collar to size from, so the liner is sized from the fireplace opening. The code sets the minimum flue area at one-twelfth of the opening for round flues and one-tenth for square ones (FBC R1003.15.1), and liner makers publish the same kind of ratio for their round liners.
The width and height of the opening are measured, the area worked out, and the liner diameter chosen to meet the ratio. A large opening can call for a liner bigger than the old flue can hold, and the options are explained when that happens.
Sizing a liner for a gas appliance
Gas appliances are sized differently from wood. The flue for a gas appliance vented into masonry is sized from the venting tables in NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas Code, and from the appliance's installation manual, and the Florida Building Code sends gas flue lining to its fuel gas chapter.
The tables account for the appliance's input, the height of the chimney and the length of any lateral run. Too large a liner lets the exhaust cool and condense; too small restricts it. When two gas appliances share a flue, the combined sizing rules apply, and we note which table was used. The appliance's rating plate gives the input figure the tables need.
