How we handle chimney relining in Dover Shores East
Three points our relining crew in Dover Shores East explains before a single part is ordered.
When a round liner is shaped oval
If a round liner of the size an appliance needs will not fit the flue, a flexible liner can be formed into an oval to pass through. The instructions warn that ovalizing changes the cross-sectional area.
We check the shaped liner against the appliance's requirement instead of assuming the nominal diameter still applies, and we show that check in the estimate. If an oval liner would fall short, we explain the other options, such as removing old tile to make room for the round size.
Old clay tile at the top of the chimney
A clay tile that protrudes above the chimney does not have to be removed if it is in good condition. If it is not, one manufacturer describes chipping it flush with a hammer and cold chisel, keeping the pieces out of the flue, and filling cracks and uneven surfaces with mortar before the top kit goes on.
We show you which case applies to your chimney before the job starts, and the trimming, if any, appears on the estimate. Leaving sound tile in place is often the tidier result.
Room to connect the stove pipe
One manufacturer asks that the tee branch protrude into the room by at least 2 inches, so the connector pipe can attach properly. That small detail decides whether the connection is solid or improvised.
We check the branch, the connector route and its clearance to combustibles together, as one piece of work. If the existing opening in the chimney is in the wrong place for a proper connection, the estimate explains what it would take to correct it before the stove is reconnected.
When one appliance leaves a shared flue
Removing an appliance from a chimney can leave the remaining one on a flue sized for more than it produces. NFPA 211 treats the removal of a connected appliance as a reason for a closer inspection.
We size the flue against the appliance still connected and tell you whether relining is needed to bring it back into range. The unused opening left by the removed appliance also needs attention, and we note how it should be closed so the remaining flue works as intended.
