Cracks that run up the tiles

Long cracks that run up the length of a tile, sometimes on two sides, often come from heat. A very hot fire in a cold flue heats the inner face faster than the outer one, and the tile splits.

A single hairline crack in a sound flue is a repair candidate. Several tiles split the same way, or pieces that have moved, lean the choice toward a new liner. We show you which pattern your flue has before pricing. Split flue tiles in your Fleming Island chimney? Phone (904) 920-5495; our specialists inspect for free.

Heat and the flue in Fleming Island

The biggest strain on a clay flue is a sudden jump in heat. A very hot fire, or a fire in the flue itself, can split tiles along their length.

In Fleming Island we look for those vertical splits first when a flue has seen a hot fire.

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.

How we examine a flue without opening it

Nearly all of a flue is out of reach, so it is examined from its ends. From the roof, we look down with a strong light. From the firebox or cleanout, we look up with a light and mirrors. The tiles are counted from the top, so every defect can be placed by height.

Where a stretch of flue cannot be seen from either end, we say so in writing. We do not guess at a section we could not see, and the estimate notes whether more access is needed before that part can be judged. Knowing what was and was not seen is part of an honest flue report.

Flue damage after a chimney fire

A chimney fire heats the flue far beyond its normal range. The damage it leaves can include split tiles, open joints, a warped damper and heat reaching framing near the chimney. NFPA 211 asks for a deeper inspection whenever an event has probably harmed the chimney, and a fire in the flue is exactly that.

After the fire department has made the house safe, the fireplace stays out of use until that inspection is done. We examine every tile and joint, look at the clearances around the chimney where they can be reached, and write down whether the flue can be repaired or has to be relined.
