Keeping the relined flue clean
A stainless liner is swept with a plastic bristle brush matched to its diameter, as the liner makers specify, because steel bristles can scratch the alloy. The cap comes off, the brush goes down, and the deposit collects at the tee cap or the insert, where it is emptied.
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.
More than about six miles separate Lakeside from the coast. Lakeside lies roughly 14 miles from Jacksonville, measured directly rather than by road.

How It Works
How our liner specialists reline a chimney in Lakeside
-
Flue swept and proved
The old flue is cleaned and checked, and a test length or cone is lowered to confirm the liner will pass.
-
Liner sized to the appliance
The diameter comes from the stove collar, the insert or the fireplace opening, with insulation where the listing calls for it.
-
Liner lowered and connected
The liner goes down full height and joins a tee with a clean-out, or an adapter on the insert.
-
Top plate, clamp and cap
The top plate is fastened to the crown, the liner is clamped and trimmed, and a screened cap goes on.
Local Conditions
Why chimneys get relined in Lakeside
Inland in Lakeside, 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.

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 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.

FAQ
Before a liner is ordered
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.
Can I use the new-customer 10% off on relining?
Yes. Ask for 10% off your first service when you book the estimate visit, and it is applied if relining is your first job with us.
