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

Kings Ferry lies within Nassau County. Kings Ferry sits away from the coastline.

Sweep, prove, size, reline

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 Kings Ferry

Inland in Kings Ferry, 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.

Relining is a larger job, and it earns the discount just as a sweep does.

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.

Chimney height and the liner listing

Liner systems are listed for a range of chimney heights, and one maker's instructions call for a chimney at least 10 feet high. Below that, the draft a liner can produce may not be enough for the appliance.

The code sets its own height rule at the roof: at least 3 feet above where the chimney passes through, and 2 feet above anything on the building inside a 10-foot radius (FBC R1003.9). Where the chimney meets neither rule, a liner alone does not fix it. A short chimney is pointed out before any liner is priced.

Relining questions from Kings Ferry

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.

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.
