Liner facts our pros share in Bryn Mawr
Notes from our Bryn Mawr liner installers, tied to the code and the product instructions.
Where the insulation wrap stops
When a liner is insulated with a wrap, one manufacturer has the insulation run from the bottom of the tee, including the tee cap, and stop about 3 inches below the crown to allow for vertical thermal expansion.
Details like that decide whether the liner can move freely as it heats and cools. A wrap that runs too high can bind at the top plate, and one that stops too low leaves part of the flue bare. We install to the instructions line by line and note the insulation on your records.
Before relighting a fireplace that sat unused
A chimney that has not been used for years may hold debris, nests, cracked tile or old deposits. The first step is an inspection and cleaning, and relining is decided only after that.
We tell you what the flue needs to be used safely and what can wait, and we put both lists in writing. If the house changed hands in the meantime, we also ask what appliance was last connected, because the lining that suited it may not suit the way you plan to use the fireplace.
Draft depends on height as well as size
A flue's draft depends on its height and temperature as well as its area, which is why the same liner size can behave differently in two chimneys. One manufacturer notes that its sizing formula can vary with the height of the chimney and other factors.
We weigh those factors rather than applying one number to every job, and the estimate explains which ones shaped the proposal for your chimney.
When a liner cap has come off
A missing liner cap leaves the flue open to rain, leaves and animals. Replacing it with the cap listed for that liner restores the system, as long as the liner and plate below are sound.
We check those parts before fitting a new cap, and quote a replacement cap only when the rest of the top assembly can support it. If the old cap is lying on the roof or in the yard, leave it where it is. Its condition helps show why it came loose.

What people in Bryn Mawr ask about liners
No sales pitch, only answers from our liner specialists in Bryn Mawr.
How do you choose the liner size?
From the appliance first. For a stove we follow its outlet size or the maker's instructions, and for an open fireplace we measure the opening. We then check that size against the chimney route before anything is ordered.
Do you reline chimneys that vent a furnace or water heater?
Yes, where the chimney is masonry and the appliance instructions allow a lined masonry chimney. Those flues are sized by the fuel gas rules and the appliance manual, and we show that reference in the estimate.
