Cracked tiles found during a sweep
Cracked clay tiles tend to come to light during a sweep or an inspection, and the next question is how far the damage runs. One cracked tile near the top can sometimes be repaired in place, and when that holds, you will see it written that way.
Cracks along the flue, tiles that have shifted, or joints open over a long run point toward relining, because a liner replaces the whole passage instead of patching part of it. The evidence from your Nassauville flue and the reason for the choice come with the recommendation. Measuring is free in Nassauville; call (904) 920-5495 and have the appliance model handy.

From proof run to capped liner in Nassauville
-
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.
Crown cracks under a new top plate
Near the coast, crowns crack from years of wind and rain. A top plate sealed onto a cracked crown still lets water into the masonry around the liner.
When relining a chimney in Nassauville, the crown condition goes on the estimate before any liner is ordered.

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.
Joining a liner to a fireplace insert
An insert sits inside the fireplace with its flue collar pointing up into the smoke chamber. A stove adapter from the liner maker fits onto that collar and clamps to the bottom of the liner, giving a sealed connection from insert to cap.
Where the collar and the flue do not line up, a listed elbow at 30, 45 or 90 degrees carries the liner across. The insert's own manual sets any extra rules for its connection, and those come first. The damper frame may need to be cut back to let the liner through, which is listed as its own step. The insert is then set back in place and its surround refitted.
Letting the liner grow with heat
Stainless steel expands as it heats. A liner many feet long grows measurably during a hot fire and shrinks as it cools, and the installation has to allow for that movement. Flexible liner's corrugations take up much of it along the length.
At the top, the insulation wrap ends a short way under the crown, leaving the liner free to move within the top plate's clamp without tearing the wrap. At the bottom, the connection is supported but not locked so rigidly that expansion has nowhere to go. Those details come from the maker's instructions and are followed as written.
Size, alloy and listing on paper
- Insulating blanket or poured mix wherever the listing calls for it
- Top plate sealed or screwed to the crown to carry the liner's weight
- Screened liner cap and storm collar fitted at the top of the flue
- Permit need and who files it, stated in writing up front
Relining questions from Nassauville
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.
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.
