Chimney liner details that matter in Lake Terrace
Questions every Lake Terrace homeowner deserves answered before a flue is relined.
Airspace around an interior chimney
Where any part of a masonry chimney sits inside the building or within an exterior wall, section R1003.18 calls for at least 2 inches of airspace to combustibles. Framing tight against the masonry is a clearance problem the liner has to account for.
We check that space wherever it can be seen, in the attic or at openings around the chimney, and record exactly what we could and could not confirm. The record matters, because unconfirmed clearances can change the liner from a plain installation to an insulated one.
When clearances cannot be confirmed
Clearances are not always visible. One stainless liner's instructions state that if the proper clearances cannot be determined, the liner must be installed with an approved insulation wrap.
We would rather say that plainly than assume the framing sits where it should. If insulation is required for your chimney, the estimate says so and gives the reason in a sentence you can check. If more access would settle the question, such as an attic hatch we could not reach, we tell you that too, so you can decide which way to go.
Putting a stove into a fireplace chimney
A fireplace flue is sized for an open fireplace, usually far larger than a stove outlet. A stove venting into it can run with a cool, oversized flue.
Relining with a liner sized to the stove, connected to the stove collar and carried to the top, brings the flue back to the stove's needs. The stove maker's instructions set the size, and we follow them. We also check the hearth and clearances the stove will need, and list any work there separately.
Smoke at the start of a fire
Smoke that spills from the opening for the first minutes of a fire can point to a flue that is cold, too large or too short, though a blocked cap or a closed damper can do the same.
Relining with the right size and insulation helps when sizing is the cause. We check the simpler causes first, and we tell you if a liner would not solve it. Knowing when it happens, whether every fire or only in certain weather, helps narrow it down.

What people in Lake Terrace ask about liners
Relining questions answered by our family-owned crew in Lake Terrace.
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.
Can you reline a chimney that has more than one flue?
Yes. Each flue is relined separately and sized to its own appliance or fireplace. We inspect all of them and list each one on the estimate, so you can decide flue by flue.
