How we handle chimney relining in Flamingo
Three points our relining crew in Flamingo explains before a single part is ordered.
How far a clay lining is meant to run
For clay flue liners, section R1003.12 of the residential code calls for installation to ASTM C1283, running from at least 8 inches below the lowest inlet, or from the top of the smoke chamber on a fireplace, to a point above the enclosing walls.
When we judge an old clay lining, gaps in that run, missing sections or tile that stops short of the top all count as findings. We note where each one sits in the flue, because their position and number help explain whether a repair or a full relining is the sensible answer for your chimney.
After a chimney fire or a damaging storm
A building or chimney fire, a weather event or any incident likely to have damaged the chimney is another NFPA 211 reason for a closer inspection. Intense heat can crack clay tile and open its joints, and a storm can shift the top of a chimney or damage its cap.
Stop using the fireplace until the flue has been checked, and let us know what happened, so the inspection can focus on the damage most likely to be there. Relining is discussed only after that inspection, based on what it actually found in the flue.
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.
Interior and exterior chimneys are relined differently
A chimney inside the house and one built against an outside wall differ in the clearances they need and in how quickly their flues lose heat. One manufacturer recommends insulation especially for exterior chimneys.
We note where your chimney sits and explain how that shapes the proposal, from the airspace we need to confirm to the insulation we suggest. Two chimneys of the same height can end up with different liners for exactly this reason.

Before your relining in Flamingo
Everyday relining questions from Flamingo, answered plainly.
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.
Can you reline a chimney that has more than one flue?
Yes. Each flue is relined separately and sized to its own appliance or fireplace. We inspect all of them and list each one on the estimate, so you can decide flue by flue.
