What goes into a liner job in Countryside
Notes from our Countryside liner installers, tied to the code and the product instructions.
When clearances cannot be confirmed
Clearances are not always visible. One stainless liner's instructions state that if the proper clearances cannot be determined, the liner must be installed with an approved insulation wrap.
We would rather say that plainly than assume the framing sits where it should. If insulation is required for your chimney, the estimate says so and gives the reason in a sentence you can check. If more access would settle the question, such as an attic hatch we could not reach, we tell you that too, so you can decide which way to go.
The cap at the end of the liner
A listed top kit pairs the top plate with a rain cap made for the liner. It keeps rain and debris out of the flue opening while leaving the gases a clear way out.
The liner cap is part of the relining system and separate from a chimney cap that covers a whole crown. We explain which one your chimney will have, and whether both can sit together. When a chimney cap is also wanted, we check that it clears the liner cap and does not trap it.
Fireblocking around the chimney
Spaces between a chimney and the floors and ceilings it passes through must be fireblocked, under the residential code, with noncombustible material, securely fastened in place.
When the attic or a ceiling opening lets us see that area, we note what is there. Missing or combustible fireblocking becomes a separate finding with its own recommendation, not part of the liner price. It matters to relining because the same area is where clearance to framing is usually checked, and the two findings are easier to understand side by side.
Chimney height limits in liner instructions
Liner instructions set limits on the chimneys they cover. One stainless flexible system, for example, calls for a chimney at least 10 feet high and no more than 100 feet.
A short chimney, or an unusual one, may need another product or approach. We check the height against the product before recommending it. Single-story homes with low chimneys are where this comes up, and the estimate explains any product change it forces.

Liner questions we hear in Countryside
Not seeing your question? Our Countryside liner team will answer it by phone.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
Someone needs to give us access to the fireplace or appliance area, since the job connects inside the house as well as on the roof. We agree on a time that suits you when we schedule.
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.
