Our Approach to Relining Chimneys in Egypt Lake-Leto
Open fireplace, insert or stove, the liner follows the appliance and our experts explain why.
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.
Liners for gas appliances follow their own code path
Gas appliances sit on a separate code path. Florida's residential code sends their flue lining to the fuel gas chapter instead of the general masonry rules. The appliance listing sets the vent type and size.
Liner instructions note that liners serving gas appliances do not require insulation between the liner and the masonry, although performance improves with it. A flue that once served wood may be the wrong size for a gas appliance, so the existing flue is never assumed to suit it.
If your chimney serves a gas appliance, we read its venting instructions first and explain how the liner fits them.
Connecting a liner to an open fireplace
In an open masonry fireplace, the liner usually starts at the top of the smoke chamber. The instructions we follow seal the gap there with a ceramic blanket plug or a base plate and sleeve, with the liner kept centered.
That seal keeps smoke inside the liner instead of letting it spread into the old flue around it. Clay liners in new construction likewise start at the top of the smoke chamber under the Florida Building Code.
Our crew explains how the bottom of the liner will be sealed in your fireplace before the job begins.
Clearance between the chimney and wood framing
Masonry chimneys inside the house or within an exterior wall keep a 2-inch airspace to combustible framing under Florida's code, and chimneys standing entirely outside keep 1 inch.
There is an exception for chimneys fitted with a lining system listed and labeled to UL 1777 for use in contact with combustibles, installed to its instructions. On older homes, that exception can matter. Some older homes have framing or subfloor tucked tight against the brick, which is why the check matters on relining jobs.
Our specialists check the clearances they can reach and explain how the chosen liner listing relates to them.
