A masonry chimney built with no liner

Some masonry chimneys were built without any flue lining, with smoke running straight against the brick and mortar. The code calls for masonry chimneys to be lined, and an unlined flue shows why: mortar joints erode from the inside, heat passes through the brick toward framing, and the rough passage slows the draft.

Lining it means a listed stainless liner run the full height, insulated where its listing calls for it, with a cap at the top. The inspection that comes first confirms the brick around it is sound enough for your San Marco chimney to carry one. Book the free flue measurement for your San Marco home at (904) 920-5495.

Measured in a straight line, San Marco is about 4 miles from Jacksonville. San Marco is a neighborhood within the City of Jacksonville.

How It Works

Sweep, prove, size, reline

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 San Marco

Inland in San Marco, 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.

Pressing a round liner oval

A rectangular clay flue can be too narrow on one side for a round liner of the size the appliance needs. Flexible stainless liner can be pressed into an oval to fit, and liner makers allow it.

The catch is area. An oval has less cross-sectional area than the round liner it was made from, and the appliance sizing was based on the round figure. So after shaping, the oval's area is worked out again and checked against the appliance collar or the fireplace opening. If the oval comes up short, the answer is a larger starting diameter or tile removal, and never a smaller flue.

The cap on a relined flue

A relined flue gets its own cap, clamped to the top plate or the liner collar. It keeps rain out of the liner, where water mixes with deposit and attacks the metal, and its screen keeps birds and animals out of a passage that is now too narrow to clear by hand.

Where the chimney had a single wide cap over several flues, the new liner cap may sit higher than the old cap allows. We check the fit and say whether the old cap is refitted, raised or replaced with an arrangement that covers every flue. The screen gets checked again on every sweep after that.

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.

FAQ

Relining questions from San Marco

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.
