Liner facts our pros share in Kirkman South
Three points our relining crew in Kirkman South explains before a single part is ordered.
Four kinds of lining the residential code accepts
Section R1003.11.1 lists four ways to line a flue for residential appliances. Clay flue lining made to ASTM C315, chimney lining systems listed to UL 1777, factory-built chimneys or chimney units listed to go inside masonry, and other approved materials that flue gases and condensate as hot as 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit cannot corrode, erode, soften or crack.
Relining an existing chimney usually comes down to one of the first three. Your estimate names which route we propose, why it suits the chimney and the appliance, and what the other routes would involve if you want to compare them.
Where the insulation wrap stops
When a liner is insulated with a wrap, one manufacturer has the insulation run from the bottom of the tee, including the tee cap, and stop about 3 inches below the crown to allow for vertical thermal expansion.
Details like that decide whether the liner can move freely as it heats and cools. A wrap that runs too high can bind at the top plate, and one that stops too low leaves part of the flue bare. We install to the instructions line by line and note the insulation on your records.
One liner per flue in a multi-flue chimney
Where two or more flues share a chimney, the residential code calls for masonry wythes at least 4 inches thick between adjacent flue linings, tied into the chimney walls. Each flue is its own passage and is relined on its own.
We inspect every flue in the chimney and list each relining separately, so you pay only for the flues that need it. A damaged wall between flues is also a finding in its own right, because it lets one flue leak into its neighbor, and we explain how it affects the relining plan.
Flue repair or full relining
Resurfacing or repairing damaged clay tile is a flue repair, a separate service with its own limits. Relining replaces the passage with a new system from the appliance to the top.
When damage is limited and the remaining tile is sound, a repair may be the proportionate answer, and we say so. When damage is widespread or the appliance has changed, relining usually makes more sense. The estimate explains which way the evidence points, and why the other option was set aside.
