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 Mandarin 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 Mandarin flue for free.
Mandarin lies inland, over six miles from the coast. Counted as a direct line, Jacksonville and Mandarin are roughly 9 miles apart.

How It Works
How our liner specialists reline a chimney in Mandarin
-
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
A crooked liner cap after a storm in Mandarin
June 1 to November 30 is hurricane season, and inland wind can loosen a liner cap too.
After a storm in Mandarin, check the cap from the yard. If it looks crooked, the liner below it is open to rain, so give us a ring.

Proving the flue before a liner is ordered
A liner cut to length is not easily returned, so nothing is ordered on a guess. The proof run answers one question: will a liner of the planned size, with any insulation, pass from the top of this flue to the bottom?
It fails at bulging mortar joints, at tiles knocked out of line, and at offsets tighter than they look from either end. When the proof fails, the options are to break out the obstruction, change to flexible liner, or step down to a smaller rigid section if the appliance sizing still allows it. We say which option applies and why.
Rigid sections or flexible liner
Liners come in two forms. Rigid stainless sections join end to end into a smooth, round bore, and they suit a flue that runs straight and plumb from bottom to top. Flexible liner is corrugated, which lets it bend through offsets and absorb growth from heat along its length.
The choice follows the flue's shape. A straight flue can take either; a flue with offsets needs flexible liner or a rigid run with listed elbows where the offset allows. Both are listed systems, and each comes with its own joints, fittings and instructions that the installation follows.
Sizing a liner for a gas appliance
Gas appliances are sized differently from wood. The flue for a gas appliance vented into masonry is sized from the venting tables in NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas Code, and from the appliance's installation manual, and the Florida Building Code sends gas flue lining to its fuel gas chapter.
The tables account for the appliance's input, the height of the chimney and the length of any lateral run. Too large a liner lets the exhaust cool and condense; too small restricts it. When two gas appliances share a flue, the combined sizing rules apply, and we note which table was used. The appliance's rating plate gives the input figure the tables need.

FAQ
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.
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.
