Our approach to chimney flues in Fairvilla
Practical points from our chimney flue crew in Fairvilla.
How far the top tile should stand above the crown
BIA Technical Note 19B has the flue liner stand 2 inches or more above the masonry cap, the part the trade calls the crown. That projection keeps water on the crown away from the flue opening and gives a cap something to attach to.
When a top tile has broken off flush with the crown, rain can run into the flue and the cap may have nothing to grip. Replacing that section restores the projection, and we explain how it ties in with any crown or cap work that is also needed.
The cleanout door at the base of an appliance flue
Section R1003.17 of the Florida residential code calls for a cleanout opening within 6 inches of the base of each flue in a masonry chimney, with a noncombustible cover, and places its upper edge at least 6 inches below the lowest inlet.
The cleanout is often where fallen tile fragments show up first on an appliance flue. We open it during the assessment, check what has collected and make sure the cover closes properly after the work. A cleanout door that is rusted shut or missing its cover is a small repair, and we include it in the estimate when we find one.
Repairing one flue without disturbing its neighbor
In a chimney with several flues, work on one must not disturb the others. Dust, debris and repair material can fall into the wrong flue if it is not protected.
We cover neighboring flues during the work and check them afterward. If an appliance uses one of them, we tell you whether it needs to be shut off while we work. Covers go on before any tool enters the flue we are working on and come off only after cleanup. If a neighboring flue shows its own damage while we are up there, we note it and price it separately rather than folding it in.
Comparing two flue repair quotes
Flue repair quotes can look similar and describe very different work. The details tell you which is which.
Ask each company which sections are included, which product or material they will use and whether it is listed, what preparation is done and when the fireplace can be used again. Our estimates answer those questions in writing, so a comparison is easy. Also ask whether cleaning is included, whether a cap or crown repair is bundled in and what happens if damage turns up in a section nobody could see at first. Those answers explain much of the gap between two prices.
