How we handle chimney relining in Kirkman North
Notes from our Kirkman North liner installers, tied to the code and the product instructions.
A closer inspection comes before relining
NFPA 211 lists the relining of a flue, or replacement of flue lining, among the circumstances that call for a more thorough inspection. That means examining the accessible parts of the chimney inside and out, including areas reached through the attic, before the proposal is final.
We do that work first, so the liner is chosen for the chimney that is actually there rather than the one it appears to be from the roof. It also surfaces clearance, masonry and crown questions early, while they can still be planned into one visit instead of discovered halfway through the installation.
Proving the flue before the liner is ordered
It pays to prove the inside of a chimney before installing a liner. One manufacturer suggests lowering a short piece of liner of the intended size down the chimney, or using a liner guide cone, to see whether it passes all the way to the bottom.
We do that before parts are ordered, so a hidden restriction shows up on inspection day rather than installation day. If the test piece stops, we find where and why, whether it is an offset, a broken tile or old debris, and the estimate reflects what it will take to get past it.
Temperature limits written into a listing
A liner's listing includes the flue gas temperatures it is meant for. One stainless flexible liner is intended for appliances whose maximum continuous flue gas outlet temperature does not normally exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit in the United States.
We read limits like that against your appliance before proposing the product. An appliance outside the limit needs a different system, and the estimate names it.
Draft depends on height as well as size
A flue's draft depends on its height and temperature as well as its area, which is why the same liner size can behave differently in two chimneys. One manufacturer notes that its sizing formula can vary with the height of the chimney and other factors.
We weigh those factors rather than applying one number to every job, and the estimate explains which ones shaped the proposal for your chimney.

Liner questions we hear in Kirkman North
Short answers first. The free inspection in Kirkman North fills in the details for your chimney.
Is insulation always required with a stainless liner in Kirkman North?
No. It is required in some situations, such as when clearances to combustibles cannot be confirmed, and recommended in others, such as a chimney on an outside wall. We tell you which applies to your Kirkman North chimney and price it clearly.
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.
