A flue map, written by height
Our flue estimate reads like a map. Each defect is listed by flue, by height from the top or the firebox and by wall, with what it is: a crack, an open joint, a flaked face or a displaced tile.
Next to each entry is the repair and its price, and at the bottom is the flue size check against what the flue serves. That layout lets you see why a single repair path was chosen for the whole flue.

How chimney flue repair runs
-
Swept and examined
The flue is cleaned, then looked over from the roof and the firebox with a light and mirrors.
-
Mapped and measured
Each defect is placed by height and wall, and the flue size is checked against what it serves.
-
Repaired by the chosen method
Top tiles swapped from the roof, damaged sections coated with a listed system, or a relining price when repair will not hold.
-
Checked and cured
The finished flue is examined from both ends and left to cure before the first fire.
Storm season and flue caps in Springfield
Storms of the June to November hurricane season can tear a cap off an inland chimney as well, leaving its flue open to rain.
If the cap on your Springfield chimney is missing after a storm, have the flue checked before the next fire.

Resurfacing systems and their listing
Resurfacing applies a heat-resistant coat to the inside of the existing flue, sealing cracks and gaps so the passage is continuous and smooth again. The code accepts lining systems listed and labeled to UL 1777, and some resurfacing systems carry that listing.
A listed system has to be installed exactly as its instructions say, from surface preparation to coat thickness, or the listing no longer applies. We name the system and its listing on the estimate. Resurfacing suits a flue that is straight enough for the tools, sound enough to hold the coat and large enough to lose a little area.
The inlet where an appliance joins the flue
When an appliance connects to a masonry chimney, the code has the connector enter from the side, through a thimble of fireclay, refractory material or metal that keeps the connector from pulling out or poking past the liner wall (R1003.16).
A connector that pokes into the flue narrows it and snags deposits. A loose or cracked thimble leaks gases into the masonry around it. We check the inlet on any flue that serves an appliance and price a thimble repair as its own line, since it is often where condensate and heat have done the most harm.
Mortar ridges inside the flue
The code asks for only enough mortar to make each joint and hold the tile, with the joint left smooth on the inside. In practice, some flues were built with mortar squeezed out into the passage, leaving ridges at every joint.
Those ridges narrow the flue slightly, catch deposits and can hide gaps behind them. During a flue repair, loose ridges that would block a resurfacing tool or trap deposits are knocked back. Where the ridges hide open joints, those joints are part of the repair scope, and the flue map shows where they are.
What goes on the flue map in Springfield
- Every defect located by flue, height and wall on a written flue map
- Top tiles to replace from the roof, with the seal around them remade
- Waiting time before a fire, per the mortar or coat maker
- Fireplace or appliance use allowed before and after the repair
Before a flue repair is chosen
Do you repair chimney flues in Springfield?
Yes. We repair clay flues across Duval County, Springfield included, from single top tiles to full-height resurfacing. If a sweep left a note, have it ready when you call.
When can I light a fire again once the flue is fixed?
After the mortar or resurfacing coat has cured for the time its maker specifies. The estimate gives that time, and we confirm the flue is clear before you light the first fire.
