How we handle chimney relining in Lake Hart
Notes from our Lake Hart liner installers, tied to the code and the product instructions.
How far a clay lining is meant to run
For clay flue liners, section R1003.12 of the residential code calls for installation to ASTM C1283, running from at least 8 inches below the lowest inlet, or from the top of the smoke chamber on a fireplace, to a point above the enclosing walls.
When we judge an old clay lining, gaps in that run, missing sections or tile that stops short of the top all count as findings. We note where each one sits in the flue, because their position and number help explain whether a repair or a full relining is the sensible answer for your chimney.
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.
Raising the liner top when height is short
Some systems offer a top extension that attaches to the top plate, so the liner cap sits higher. Height matters because the residential code wants the chimney 3 feet or more above its roof penetration, and 2 feet taller than any part of the house standing within 10 feet.
We check that relationship on the roof and tell you whether an extension belongs in the answer. If the chimney itself is too short for the rule, the estimate says so plainly rather than hiding it behind a liner.
When relining is scheduled in stages
Some chimneys need masonry repair, cleaning or crown work before the liner can go in. We sequence those stages in the estimate, so you can see what happens on each visit and what each stage involves.
The liner is ordered once the chimney is ready to receive it. Staging also lets you spread decisions out, and the fireplace stays out of use only for as long as the work requires.

Relining answers for Lake Hart homeowners
Straight answers on relining from our Lake Hart team. Call if yours is not here.
How do you choose the liner size?
From the appliance first. For a stove we follow its outlet size or the maker's instructions, and for an open fireplace we measure the opening. We then check that size against the chimney route before anything is ordered.
Can I use the fireplace right after the liner is installed?
Once the installation is finished and checked, yes, following any first-use guidance in the product instructions. We go over that guidance with you at handover.
