A masonry chimney built with no liner
Some masonry chimneys were built without any flue lining, with smoke running straight against the brick and mortar. The code calls for masonry chimneys to be lined, and an unlined flue shows why: mortar joints erode from the inside, heat passes through the brick toward framing, and the rough passage slows the draft.
Lining it means a listed stainless liner run the full height, insulated where its listing calls for it, with a cap at the top. The inspection that comes first confirms the brick around it is sound enough for your Crawford chimney to carry one. Book the free flue measurement for your Crawford home at (904) 920-5495.

How our liner specialists reline a chimney in Crawford
-
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.
Gas appliances and flue size in Crawford
Gas exhaust carries water vapor, and in an oversized masonry flue it can cool and condense, washing out mortar joints.
When a gas appliance vents into a chimney in Crawford, the liner is sized from the venting tables in NFPA 54 and the appliance manual.

A sized, listed liner booked 72 hours or less after the free inspection comes 10% off.
Matching the alloy to the fuel
Stainless liners are not all the same steel. Makers list 316-type alloys for wood, coal, oil and standard-efficiency gas appliances, and offer tougher, more acid-resistant alloys for high-efficiency gas appliances, which run cool enough to leave acidic condensate in the flue.
The fuel and the appliance's category decide which alloy its listing allows. A liner fitted for a wood stove and later asked to carry a high-efficiency gas appliance may not be listed for that job, which is why a fuel change is a reason to check the liner before relying on it. The alloy and its listed fuels are named before the liner is ordered.
Where an aluminum liner fits, and where it does not
Aluminum liners have a narrow listing. The makers write them for Category I gas appliances, those fitted with a draft hood or listed for Type B gas vent, and the instructions rule out solid fuel, liquid fuel and gas appliances in Categories II through IV.
So aluminum is out for any flue that serves, or might later serve, a fireplace or stove burning wood. It can be the right choice for a gas appliance that matches its listing. Where the chimney's future use is uncertain, stainless keeps more options open, and we explain the trade.
The crown under a new top plate
A top plate sits on the crown and seals to it, so the crown's condition matters to the liner. A crown with open cracks lets water into the masonry around the new flue, and water trapped between old tile and liner can stain the chimney and rust fasteners.
When the crown is sound except for small cracks, a crown sealer before the plate goes on may be enough. When it is broken up or missing its overhang, repair or recasting comes first. Either way the crown work is its own line on the estimate, so the liner price stays the liner price.
Measured before a liner is ordered in Crawford
- Flue proved with a test piece or guide cone before ordering
- Liner diameter set from the appliance collar or the fireplace opening
- Stainless alloy picked from the listing for the fuel being burned
- Permit need and who files it, stated in writing up front
Before a liner is ordered
Can relining be done in one day?
A plain liner in a straight, clean flue can go in within a day. Tile removal, insulation, crown repair or a new wall opening add time, and the estimate gives the schedule.
Will the new liner show from outside?
Only the top plate and the liner cap show above the crown. They sit low, and the cap's screen and lid are the parts you will notice from the ground.
