Chimney liner details that matter in Lake Cherokee
Plain explanations of relining in Lake Cherokee, from the crew that installs the liners.
Sizing a liner for an open fireplace
An open fireplace is sized by its opening. Option 1 of section R1003.15.1 calls for a round flue of at least one-twelfth of the fireplace opening area, a square flue of at least one-tenth, and a rectangular flue with a ratio of 2 to 1 or more of at least one-eighth.
We measure the opening, apply the rule that fits the proposed liner shape and write the numbers down for you. A liner that is too small for a large opening can leave smoke at the front of the fireplace, so the opening size decides the liner as much as the chimney does.
The cap at the end of the liner
A listed top kit pairs the top plate with a rain cap made for the liner. It keeps rain and debris out of the flue opening while leaving the gases a clear way out.
The liner cap is part of the relining system and separate from a chimney cap that covers a whole crown. We explain which one your chimney will have, and whether both can sit together. When a chimney cap is also wanted, we check that it clears the liner cap and does not trap it.
Where the connection enters the chimney
To make inspection and cleaning easier, one liner maker says wall penetrations should not be placed directly behind the heating appliance. The residential code brings connectors into a chimney through the side wall, in a thimble of fireclay, rigid refractory or metal that holds the connector in place so it cannot slip out or reach past the inner face of the liner.
We plan the entry point with both in mind and show you where the connection will sit before anything is cut or drilled.
The smoke chamber below a relined flue
On a fireplace, the liner meets the chimney above the smoke chamber, the sloped area over the damper. Liner makers expect that chamber cleaned before installation.
If its walls are rough, cracked or open, that is a separate smoke chamber repair, and we list it on its own line with an explanation of why it matters to the new system. The liner and the chamber work as one path for smoke, so a gap below the liner can undo part of what the liner fixes above.

Relining answers for Lake Cherokee homeowners
Relining questions answered by our family-owned crew in Lake Cherokee.
Can a new liner go inside my existing clay tile?
Often it can, if the tile leaves enough room for the liner and any insulation, and damaged pieces will not block it. When there is not enough room, the tile may need to come out. We explain which applies after proving the route.
Is the relining inspection really free in Lake Cherokee?
It is. We inspect the flue at your Lake Cherokee home without charge and without any obligation to book. The findings and a written estimate are yours either way.
