Chimney Liner Work Done to the Instructions in Citrus Park

Relining pros who put the size, insulation and top parts on paper before work starts.

The chimney lining systems the code accepts

Florida's residential code names four routes for lining a masonry chimney: clay flue tile made to ASTM C315, a lining system listed and labeled to UL 1777, a factory-built chimney listed for installation inside masonry, or another approved material that resists flue gases and condensate.

For relining an existing chimney, a listed metal system is often the practical choice because it can be lowered from the top. Clay tile is more often part of new construction or a rebuild.

We explain which of these routes suits your chimney and why, so the recommendation is tied to the code and the appliance.

Three reasons a chimney ends up relined

Most relining jobs start from one of three places. The existing lining is damaged, there is no suitable lining at all, or the appliance connected to the chimney is changing.

Each starting point leads to different questions. A damaged lining raises the question of what damaged it. A missing lining raises questions about the masonry. A new appliance brings its own venting instructions.

Our specialists tell you which of the three applies to your chimney before any liner is chosen, so the solution matches the actual reason.

Sizing a liner for an open masonry fireplace

For a masonry fireplace, the Florida Building Code ties the flue area to the fireplace opening. Under the first of its two sizing options, a round flue must be at least one twelfth of the opening, a square flue one tenth, and a long rectangular flue one eighth.

That means the width and height of the opening are measured before any liner is chosen. A liner that simply fills the old flue may be too small for a large opening.

Our specialists do the measurement at your home and show the result on the estimate, so the chosen diameter has a stated reason.

Where a stovepipe enters the side of the chimney

Under Florida's code, a stovepipe joins a masonry chimney from the side through a thimble made of fireclay, metal or rigid refractory material, which holds the connector so it can neither pull out nor slide in beyond the liner.

With a relined flue, the liner usually ends in a tee at the thimble. The opening may need enlarging for the fitting, and the gap around it is sealed with masonry and mortar afterward. A sealed thimble also keeps room air from being drawn into the chimney around the liner.

Our team checks clearances to nearby walls at that connection too, since they still apply after the liner is in.

On any service we offer

In Citrus Park, relining booked in the 72 hours after the flue check is 10% off.
