How we handle chimney relining in Lake Dot
Details that decide the liner we propose in Lake Dot, each one traceable in your estimate.
Keeping tile pieces out of the flue
When tile is trimmed at the top, pieces must not drop into the flue, and any that do are removed. Loose fragments on the smoke shelf or at the base of a flue can block the passage and the new liner's path.
We check the base of the flue after the top work, so nothing is left behind, and we clear the smoke shelf before the liner connection is made. A clean base is also where the next sweep starts, so leaving it clear is part of finishing the job properly.
What you can check from the ground
From the yard you can often see whether the liner cap is still in place, straight and free of nests or debris. You do not need to climb.
If the cap looks damaged, loose or missing, or rust streaks appear on the masonry below it, let us know and we will check the top of the system. A quick look after strong wind is a good habit, and a note of what you saw and when helps us plan the visit.
Hard creosote deposits before relining
Glazed creosote is hard, shiny and difficult to remove, and liner makers expect it gone before installation, along with ordinary soot and creosote. Removing it can take more than a standard sweeping.
If we find it, the removal method goes into the scope, and the relining waits until the flue is clean. Its presence also says something about how the appliance has been running, so we mention what may have caused it and how the new liner and good habits help prevent it returning.
Sealing the chimney top around the liner
The top plate closes the gap between the liner and the flue opening. One manufacturer describes fastening it to the masonry with silicone or masonry screws once the liner is clamped.
A tight, sealed top keeps rain out of the space around the liner, which is why the surface under it has to be sound. We check the seal at handover and again at the next yearly inspection, since this is a likely place for water to find its way in if anything has shifted.

What people in Lake Dot ask about liners
Not seeing your question? Our Lake Dot liner team will answer it by phone.
Can you install the liner at the inspection visit?
Usually not. We measure and prove the route first, then order parts to size. That extra step keeps the installation right the first time.
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.
