Before you reline a flue in Lake Como
How we think through a liner for your Lake Como chimney, from the appliance to the cap.
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.
Inserts have their own installation
A fireplace insert connects to a liner through an adapter on its collar, with elbows where the geometry needs them. Installing the insert itself is a separate service, and its manual sets the venting.
When relining is part of an insert project, we coordinate the liner with that installation rather than treating them as unrelated jobs. The estimate shows which lines belong to the liner and which to the insert, so both can be checked against their own instructions.
Every relining starts with a stated reason
A relining proposal should say why. Damaged tile, a missing lining, a flue that no longer suits the appliance and a planned equipment change are different starting points, and each leads to different choices.
We write the reason at the top of your estimate, so everything below it can be checked against it. If the reason changes during preparation, for example when cleaning reveals more damage than expected, the estimate is revised and explained before work continues.
Writing down the clearances we checked
Clearance to combustibles is one of the things NFPA 211 asks an inspection to look at. On a relining job, we record where we could confirm the airspace, where we could not and how that affected the insulation decision.
That record answers the question for anyone who looks at the chimney later, from the next sweep to a buyer's inspector, without anyone having to repeat the same climb into the attic.

Before your relining in Lake Como
Not seeing your question? Our Lake Como liner team will answer it by phone.
Will relining fix a fireplace that draws poorly?
It can when the flue size or temperature is the cause. Poor draw can also come from a blocked cap, a closed damper or a short chimney. We check those first and recommend relining only when it answers the actual problem.
What happens to my fireplace during relining?
We protect the hearth and nearby floor, keep the opening covered while we work above and clean up afterwards. The fireplace cannot be used again until the installation is finished and checked.
