Masonry repairs before the liner
Liners hang inside the chimney and depend on it. Liner makers want the structure sound before their product goes in, with loose or cracked masonry and open joints repaired first. The crown matters most, because the top plate sits on it and water through a cracked crown reaches the brick whatever the liner does.
When the inspection turns up that kind of work in San Jose, it is listed ahead of the liner with the reason, so the order of work makes sense and nothing new is installed on a failing base. Where the masonry is sound, that line is simply left off. Changing stoves or inserts in San Jose? Get the new liner sized at no charge by calling (904) 920-5495.

How It Works
How chimney relining runs
-
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
One liner, one fuel in San Jose
Liner makers do not allow an oil appliance and a wood appliance to share one liner. Each needs its own flue.
When a chimney in San Jose serves two appliances, the estimate shows a liner for each.

Poured insulation around a liner
Instead of a blanket, some liner systems are insulated with a loose, lightweight mix poured into the space between the liner and the old flue walls. It fills irregular spaces that a blanket cannot, including gaps around offsets and oversized tile.
The mix needs the bottom of the space sealed first so it stays where it is poured, and it adds a break-in period to the first fires, set by the maker. It suits a flue with room to spare around the liner. Which method is planned, and why it fits your flue, is explained before the job. The mix goes in from the top in stages so it settles evenly.
What the top plate does
The top plate is the part that holds the liner up. It sits on the crown around the flue opening, clamps the liner, and carries the whole weight of the liner below it, anchored to the masonry by sealant rated for heat or by masonry screws, per the kit.
Once the plate is fastened, the liner is cut flush with its collar and the cap goes on. A plate set on an uneven or cracked crown will not seal or sit square, which is why a broken top tile gets trimmed and the crown surface made good before it goes on.
One liner, one kind of fuel
Oil and wood do not share a liner. Makers bar connecting an appliance that burns liquid fuel, such as oil, to a liner that vents a solid-fuel appliance like a wood stove. For sizing, the same instructions send an oil appliance to NFPA 31, the oil-burning standard, rather than to the rules for wood.
Gas appliances have their own common-venting rules under NFPA 54, and the appliance manuals say whether sharing is allowed. Where a chimney serves two different appliances, we plan two flues or two liners, each sized to its appliance. The record says which appliance each liner serves, so nobody connects the wrong one later.

Do you install chimney liners in San Jose?
We do. Describe the fireplace or stove and the reason relining came up, and the San Jose estimate visit is planned around it.

The liner maker's instructions and an installation record with the liner size, alloy, length and insulation. Keep them with the house papers for the next sweep, inspection or sale.
