How Our Specialists Handle Chimney Relining in Lithia

Flue checks can often be booked same day, and they never cost anything.

Relining a chimney with a bend in the flue

Many flues change direction on their way up. The Florida Building Code limits how far a masonry chimney may offset, and clay liners may slope no more than 30 degrees from vertical.

Flexible liners are made for that kind of route, and the instructions allow extra length for each offset. In tight bends, installers guide the liner down with a rope and a cone instead of forcing it.

Our crew checks the path of the flue before ordering, so the liner arrives long enough and the installation does not damage it.

Condensation inside a relined flue

Flue gases carry water vapor. If the flue surfaces are cold enough, that vapor condenses and runs down the inside of the liner.

Liner instructions explain that household chemicals from paints, thinners and detergents can combine with that condensate to form aggressive acids. Correct sizing and insulation keep the flue warmer and limit the problem. Liner makers also suggest bringing outside combustion air directly to the appliance where its instructions allow.

Our specialists consider condensation when choosing the liner size and insulation for your chimney, especially for appliances that run cool.

Ending a new liner inside a masonry crown

Some relined chimneys finish in a masonry crown with a short clay tile at the top. In that detail, the instructions call for the liner to reach at least four inches into the tile, with a listed rain cap fitted to the tile.

BIA's residential chimney guidance adds that the flue liner should stand at least two inches above the top of the cap.

If your crown will be rebuilt or kept, we explain which top detail suits it and how the liner will be sealed.

Signs the existing lining has failed

A lining in trouble often shows itself below. Pieces of clay tile in the smoke chamber, gaps between tiles and heavy deposits packed into cracks are all reasons to look further.

Other signs are less direct, such as a flue that suddenly drafts poorly or an inspection note about open joints between tiles. None of these can be judged from the hearth alone. A flue that has sat unused for years deserves the same look before its first fire.

Our specialists inspect the flue along its length and explain what the findings mean for relining or repair.
