Chimney liner details that matter in Colonial Town Center
Questions every Colonial Town Center homeowner deserves answered before a flue is relined.
Relining questions at a home sale
When a property is sold or transferred, NFPA 211 calls for a more thorough chimney inspection. Liner findings often surface then, sometimes as a single line in a long report that leaves both sides unsure what it means.
We read that line against what we find in the flue and write up only the work the chimney needs. Buyers and sellers each get a plain explanation they can take into their negotiation, with the relining scope separated from any other repair and the reason for each item stated in a sentence.
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.
Hard creosote deposits before relining
Glazed creosote is hard, shiny and difficult to remove, and liner makers expect it gone before installation, along with ordinary soot and creosote. Removing it can take more than a standard sweeping.
If we find it, the removal method goes into the scope, and the relining waits until the flue is clean. Its presence also says something about how the appliance has been running, so we mention what may have caused it and how the new liner and good habits help prevent it returning.
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.
