How a relining day runs

The day starts with the room protected and the flue swept, since liner makers want the old passage clean before their product goes in. Broken tile and obstructions come out next, then the liner is assembled on the roof with its bottom fitting attached and any insulation wrapped on.

It is lowered from the top, connected below to whatever it serves, and fixed at the crown with a top plate and cap. The day ends with a small test fire, the old debris gone, and the installation record handed over at your Fleming Island house. New stove or insert going into your Fleming Island home? Call (904) 920-5495 and we will size the liner.

Fleming Island falls within Clay County. In the 2020 Census, Fleming Island counted 29,142 residents.

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.

Flues with bends in Fleming Island

Some chimneys change direction partway up. Rigid liner sections cannot follow an offset, and flexible liner can.

We prove the path in your Fleming Island chimney with a test piece before the liner is cut to length.

Poured insulation around a liner

Instead of a blanket, some liner systems are insulated with a loose, lightweight mix poured into the space between the liner and the old flue walls. It fills irregular spaces that a blanket cannot, including gaps around offsets and oversized tile.

The mix needs the bottom of the space sealed first so it stays where it is poured, and it adds a break-in period to the first fires, set by the maker. It suits a flue with room to spare around the liner. Which method is planned, and why it fits your flue, is explained before the job. The mix goes in from the top in stages so it settles evenly.

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.

The smoke chamber below a fireplace liner

For an open fireplace, the liner's lower end starts above the throat, and the smoke chamber below still has to guide smoke from the wide firebox into the smaller liner opening. That chamber needs sound, reasonably smooth walls to do it.

Stepped brick, open joints or missing mortar in the chamber slow the smoke and let heat into the masonry, and a new liner above does not change that. The relining inspection looks at the chamber for this reason. Where the walls have failed, smoke chamber repair is listed with the liner, so the new flue gets a clean feed from below.

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 you reline a chimney that has bends in it?

Yes, with flexible liner, which follows offsets that rigid sections cannot. The flue is proved first to make sure the liner and any insulation will pass the bends.
