Keeping the relined flue clean

A stainless liner is swept with tools sized and selected for that product's cleaning instructions. Access may be through the top or the appliance connection, and deposits are collected from the appropriate clean-out. The brush must remove deposits without scratching or damaging the liner.

The liner still gets the yearly inspection that NFPA 211 sets out. Its size, alloy and length are on the installation record, so whoever sweeps it next in Lakeside brings the right brush and knows what they are looking at. The tee cap or clean-out is the first place to look if the draw weakens between sweeps. New stove or insert going into your Lakeside home? Call (904) 920-5495 and we will size the liner.

Lakeside had 31,275 residents at the 2020 Census. Lakeside is an inland community.

How our liner specialists reline a chimney in Lakeside

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.

Insulating a liner in Lakeside

Some liners need insulation to meet their listing, either a foil-faced blanket or a poured mix. It keeps the exhaust warm and the heat away from framing.

When your Lakeside chimney's clearances cannot be confirmed, the insulated system is the one we quote.

Old tile standing above the crown

Old clay tile can stand a few inches proud of the crown. If it is sound, one liner maker's instructions allow it to stay, with the top plate and cap fitted over it.

If it is cracked or crumbling, it is cut back flush with the crown using a chisel, taking care that pieces do not fall down the flue, and any that do are removed from the bottom. The cut surface and any cracks are filled with mortar so the top plate sits flat and seals against the masonry. The top is checked for level before the plate is set, whichever way it went.

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 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.

Before a liner is ordered

Do you install chimney liners in Lakeside?

We do. Describe the fireplace or stove and the reason relining came up, and the Lakeside estimate visit is planned around it.

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.
