Relining before a first fire

An idle fireplace, whether new to you or closed off for years, may need relining before it carries any fire. The inspection shows the state of the flue and what the planned appliance or open fire will need from it.

If a stove or insert is planned, relining at the same time as the installation avoids opening the chimney twice. If an open fire is planned, the liner is sized to the opening. Either way the Neptune Beach job is built around what you intend to burn. Decide on the appliance first, since it sets the liner. Measuring is free in Neptune Beach; call (904) 920-5495 and have the appliance model handy.

Neptune Beach borders the coast. The county for Neptune Beach is Duval County.

From proof run to capped liner in Neptune Beach

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.

Rain in a relined flue near the coast

Water that gets into a liner mixes with deposit and attacks the metal from inside. Near the ocean, storm rain can arrive sideways under a shallow cap.

For relined chimneys in Neptune Beach we fit the liner maker's cap and check that it sits square on the top plate.

Why the flue is swept before relining

Liner makers call for the chimney and the smoke chamber to be cleaned thoroughly before their product goes in. Old creosote left in the flue becomes fuel sitting around the new liner, in a space nobody will be able to reach again.

The sweep also exposes the tile and joints for a last look, and it clears the smoke chamber so the bottom connection can be seen and fitted properly. It is the first line of the relining estimate, done on the same visit as the installation or just before it. A sweep also shows whether any glaze needs removal before the liner goes in.

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.

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.

Relining questions from Neptune Beach

Do you install chimney liners in Neptune Beach?

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

Can relining be done in one day?

A plain liner in a straight, clean flue can go in within a day. Tile removal, insulation, crown repair or a new wall opening add time, and the estimate gives the schedule.
