Relining explained for Lorna Doone homeowners
Where the code, the product and your appliance meet, on a relining job in Lorna Doone.
The code says masonry chimneys shall be lined
Section R1003.11 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, requires a lining in every masonry chimney, and it has to suit the appliance it serves, as that appliance's listing and its manufacturer's instructions set out.
That second half matters when relining. A liner is not a generic tube. It is chosen for the stove, fireplace or other appliance it serves, so every proposal we write starts by naming that appliance and then shows how the proposed system meets its instructions. If the appliance is unknown or about to change, we settle that question before anything is sized.
Offsets and changes in direction
Chimney construction and offsets can change the size of the passage inside, sometimes well below the top. A flue that looks generous from the roof may narrow where it bends toward the fireplace or around framing.
The residential code also limits how far a masonry chimney with a clay liner may offset. We map the route, note any offset and plan a liner that passes it without crushing or kinking. A liner that has been forced around a tight bend is a liner that has lost area, and we would rather tell you about the bend now.
What goes wrong with a poorly sized liner
Liner makers warn that improper sizing may lead to excessive condensation, creosote build-up and poor draft. Those are often the very complaints relining is meant to cure, so getting the size right is the point of the job.
We explain the sizing method we used and the source it came from, whether that is the appliance manual, the code's fireplace ratios or the fuel gas rules. If you already have a liner that was sized poorly, we show you the numbers that suggest it and what a correctly sized replacement would change.
Room to connect the stove pipe
One manufacturer asks that the tee branch protrude into the room by at least 2 inches, so the connector pipe can attach properly. That small detail decides whether the connection is solid or improvised.
We check the branch, the connector route and its clearance to combustibles together, as one piece of work. If the existing opening in the chimney is in the wrong place for a proper connection, the estimate explains what it would take to correct it before the stove is reconnected.

Chimney liner questions from Lorna Doone
Straight answers on relining from our Lorna Doone team. Call if yours is not here.
Will a new liner change how my chimney is swept?
It changes where the sweep works and where soot comes out. We show you the cleaning access and leave the product's care instructions for the next sweep.
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.
