Fire-damaged tile

After a chimney fire, clay tile can crack, split at the joints or lose pieces into the smoke chamber, and the flue stays out of use until it has been examined from bottom to top. NFPA 211 asks for that deeper look after a fire and again before any relining.

When the tile is too damaged to trust, relining gives the chimney a continuous flue again without taking the masonry apart. For a chimney in Lake Asbury after a fire, the scope covers what the fire damaged, what the liner replaces, and any masonry repair needed before the liner can go in. Nothing is relined until that evaluation is done and written up. Call (904) 920-5495 and a liner specialist will measure your Lake Asbury flue for free.

Lake Asbury lies inland. Lake Asbury falls within Clay County.

How our liner specialists reline a chimney in Lake Asbury

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.

A new stove or insert in Lake Asbury

A stove or insert set into an old masonry fireplace needs a flue sized to its collar. The big fireplace flue above it is too large and cools the exhaust.

For stoves and inserts in Lake Asbury, we run a listed stainless liner from the collar to the top.

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.

What the top plate does

The top plate is the part that holds the liner up. It sits on the crown around the flue opening, clamps the liner, and carries the whole weight of the liner below it, anchored to the masonry by sealant rated for heat or by masonry screws, per the kit.

Once the plate is fastened, the liner is cut flush with its collar and the cap goes on. A plate set on an uneven or cracked crown will not seal or sit square, which is why a broken top tile gets trimmed and the crown surface made good before it goes on.

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.

Before a liner is ordered

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.

Does a relined flue still need its own cap?

The relined flue does not need one. The liner kit we fit includes its own cap, which fastens at the top plate. If the chimney has other flues, their caps are checked, and any change is noted.
