Sizing, Sealing and Installing Your New Liner
Each relining begins with a free flue check, then a liner sized to what you burn and priced in writing.
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.
What liner insulation does for the draft
Insulation also changes how the flue behaves. Liner makers note that it improves draft and reduces condensation, and that it is especially important on chimneys built against an outside wall.
A flue that warms quickly starts pulling sooner, so a fire catches more easily and less smoke rolls out at the start. Warmer surfaces also collect fewer deposits along their length. Insulation also takes up room, so it has to be allowed for when the liner size is chosen.
When insulation is optional for your appliance, we still explain what it would change so you can decide with the facts.
Older chimneys built without a lining
Some older chimneys were built with no flue lining at all. BIA's historical chimney guidance shows that an unlined chimney called for an 8-inch nominal wall, twice the thickness of a lined one.
Today the Florida Building Code requires masonry chimneys to be lined. An unlined flue is therefore a question to settle before the fireplace is used again. Relining is often the simplest way to bring such a chimney up to that requirement without rebuilding it.
We check how your chimney was built and explain the lining options that fit its size and condition.
Relining after a chimney fire
If the chimney is on fire, leave the house with everyone and phone 911 once you are outside. Liner instructions say the fire department should be notified right away about any fire inside a liner.
Afterward, the chimney should not be used until a qualified person has inspected it and it has been cleaned or repaired. Flue fires can damage a lining in ways that cannot be seen from the room.
Once emergency responders are done, our team inspects the flue and explains whether a new liner is needed.
