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 Sunbeam chimney to carry one. Book the free flue measurement for your Sunbeam home at (904) 920-5495.

Sunbeam is inland. Sunbeam is a neighborhood within the City of Jacksonville.

Sweep, prove, size, reline

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.

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.

Old tile standing above the crown

Old clay tile can stand a few inches proud of the crown. If it is sound, one liner maker's instructions allow it to stay, with the top plate and cap fitted over it.

If it is cracked or crumbling, it is cut back flush with the crown using a chisel, taking care that pieces do not fall down the flue, and any that do are removed from the bottom. The cut surface and any cracks are filled with mortar so the top plate sits flat and seals against the masonry. The top is checked for level before the plate is set, whichever way it went.

Chimney height and the liner listing

Liner systems are listed for a range of chimney heights, and one maker's instructions call for a chimney at least 10 feet high. Below that, the draft a liner can produce may not be enough for the appliance.

The code sets its own height rule at the roof: at least 3 feet above where the chimney passes through, and 2 feet above anything on the building inside a 10-foot radius (FBC R1003.9). Where the chimney meets neither rule, a liner alone does not fix it. A short chimney is pointed out before any liner is priced.

Relining questions from Sunbeam

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.

What paperwork do I get after relining?

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.
