How a New Flue Liner Gets Planned in Valrico
Liners fitted to the maker's instructions, with our workmanship warranty on the installation.
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.
Chimneys that hold more than one flue
Some chimneys carry two or more flues side by side. The Florida Building Code requires masonry wythes at least 4 inches thick between adjacent flue linings, with an exception for flues venting only one appliance.
When one flue in a multi-flue chimney is relined, the partition beside it matters as much as the new liner. A cracked wythe can let gases pass between flues. Each flue in a shared chimney is sized and relined for its own appliance.
Our team inspects each flue and the masonry between them, and the estimate says which flue is being relined.
The label that records what the flue is for
A relined flue can carry a small permanent label near the connector. Florida's code requires one when the new lining material sits outside the standard lining list. The label states which appliance and fuel the flue is for and warns against connecting other types.
Liner makers supply a label of their own, with the brand, the manufacturer, the installation date and the intended use recorded on it.
We fill in and fix the label on every liner we install, so the next person who works on the chimney knows what it was built for.
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.
