Our Approach to Relining Chimneys in Thonotosassa
Cleaned, measured, sized and sealed. That is the order every liner we install in Thonotosassa follows.
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.
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.
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.
Details that help before the liner inspection
A few details make the relining visit faster. The make and model of any stove or insert, the fuel you burn and any recent inspection report all help us plan.
Let us know if the fireplace is out of use, if pieces have fallen into the firebox, or if a new appliance is on the way. Roof access notes and pets in the house help with the schedule too.
Leave the ladder in the garage. Measuring the flue and checking the top are part of our free inspection.
