Getting the liner right on Christmas chimneys
Where the code, the product and your appliance meet, on a relining job in Christmas.
Raising the liner top when height is short
Some systems offer a top extension that attaches to the top plate, so the liner cap sits higher. Height matters because the residential code wants the chimney 3 feet or more above its roof penetration, and 2 feet taller than any part of the house standing within 10 feet.
We check that relationship on the roof and tell you whether an extension belongs in the answer. If the chimney itself is too short for the rule, the estimate says so plainly rather than hiding it behind a liner.
Flue repair or full relining
Resurfacing or repairing damaged clay tile is a flue repair, a separate service with its own limits. Relining replaces the passage with a new system from the appliance to the top.
When damage is limited and the remaining tile is sound, a repair may be the proportionate answer, and we say so. When damage is widespread or the appliance has changed, relining usually makes more sense. The estimate explains which way the evidence points, and why the other option was set aside.
Smoke at the start of a fire
Smoke that spills from the opening for the first minutes of a fire can point to a flue that is cold, too large or too short, though a blocked cap or a closed damper can do the same.
Relining with the right size and insulation helps when sizing is the cause. We check the simpler causes first, and we tell you if a liner would not solve it. Knowing when it happens, whether every fire or only in certain weather, helps narrow it down.
Writing down the clearances we checked
Clearance to combustibles is one of the things NFPA 211 asks an inspection to look at. On a relining job, we record where we could confirm the airspace, where we could not and how that affected the insulation decision.
That record answers the question for anyone who looks at the chimney later, from the next sweep to a buyer's inspector, without anyone having to repeat the same climb into the attic.

What people in Christmas ask about liners
Everyday relining questions from Christmas, answered plainly.
Can a new liner go inside my existing clay tile?
Often it can, if the tile leaves enough room for the liner and any insulation, and damaged pieces will not block it. When there is not enough room, the tile may need to come out. We explain which applies after proving the route.
Does a relined flue need a new chimney cap?
The relined flue gets its own liner cap as part of the system. A separate chimney cap is needed only in some layouts, and we explain yours before quoting.
