Getting the liner right on Lake Shore Village chimneys
Plain explanations of relining in Lake Shore Village, from the crew that installs the liners.
Why new clay tile is rare in an existing chimney
Clay tile goes in as a chimney is built, course by course, with the masonry laid around it. Putting new tile into a finished chimney generally means opening the masonry to reach the flue, which turns a relining into a partial rebuild.
A listed metal system can be lowered from the top instead, which is why relining proposals for existing chimneys are usually built around one. If your chimney is being rebuilt anyway, clay can come back into the discussion, and we price both approaches honestly so you can weigh them.
Proving the flue before the liner is ordered
It pays to prove the inside of a chimney before installing a liner. One manufacturer suggests lowering a short piece of liner of the intended size down the chimney, or using a liner guide cone, to see whether it passes all the way to the bottom.
We do that before parts are ordered, so a hidden restriction shows up on inspection day rather than installation day. If the test piece stops, we find where and why, whether it is an offset, a broken tile or old debris, and the estimate reflects what it will take to get past it.
The metal in a stainless relining system
In one listed stainless flexible system, the liner, top plate and rain cap are all 300 series stainless steel, with worm-drive clamps securing the parts. Knowing the alloy matters when an appliance produces corrosive condensate, since some products exclude those appliances.
We record the product and alloy in your paperwork, and we tell you in the estimate why that alloy suits the appliance you use. If a different alloy is called for, the reason is written down beside it.
Interior and exterior chimneys are relined differently
A chimney inside the house and one built against an outside wall differ in the clearances they need and in how quickly their flues lose heat. One manufacturer recommends insulation especially for exterior chimneys.
We note where your chimney sits and explain how that shapes the proposal, from the airspace we need to confirm to the insulation we suggest. Two chimneys of the same height can end up with different liners for exactly this reason.

Chimney liner questions from Lake Shore Village
Short answers first. The free inspection in Lake Shore Village fills in the details for your chimney.
Is insulation always required with a stainless liner in Lake Shore Village?
No. It is required in some situations, such as when clearances to combustibles cannot be confirmed, and recommended in others, such as a chimney on an outside wall. We tell you which applies to your Lake Shore Village chimney and price it clearly.
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.
