Liner facts our pros share in Clarcona
What we check on liner jobs in Clarcona, and the source behind each check.
Checking the chimney wall itself
Masonry chimney walls should be solid units, or hollow units grouted solid, at least 4 inches in nominal thickness under the residential code, and liner instructions repeat that expectation. A thinner wall, or one with voids, changes what the liner system needs.
We note the wall construction wherever it can be seen, at the top, at openings and in the attic, and explain any concern before relining is priced, not after the liner is on order. Where the wall cannot be seen, the estimate says so and explains how that uncertainty was handled.
One liner per flue in a multi-flue chimney
Where two or more flues share a chimney, the residential code calls for masonry wythes at least 4 inches thick between adjacent flue linings, tied into the chimney walls. Each flue is its own passage and is relined on its own.
We inspect every flue in the chimney and list each relining separately, so you pay only for the flues that need it. A damaged wall between flues is also a finding in its own right, because it lets one flue leak into its neighbor, and we explain how it affects the relining plan.
Putting a stove into a fireplace chimney
A fireplace flue is sized for an open fireplace, usually far larger than a stove outlet. A stove venting into it can run with a cool, oversized flue.
Relining with a liner sized to the stove, connected to the stove collar and carried to the top, brings the flue back to the stove's needs. The stove maker's instructions set the size, and we follow them. We also check the hearth and clearances the stove will need, and list any work there separately.
Why a non-conforming chimney needs insulation
One manufacturer explains that UL 1777 requires insulation where a chimney does not conform to code, for example one with zero clearance to combustibles or another defect. A chimney that meets NFPA 211 construction requirements may not need it.
That is why we look at how the chimney was built before deciding on insulation, instead of adding it by default or leaving it out to lower a price.
