Getting the flue right in Millenia chimneys
Straight answers about flue work in Millenia, from the people who do it.
Smoke in the fireplace next door
If you smell smoke from one fireplace while another is burning, or see smoke coming from an unused flue, the flues may be leaking into each other. A cracked tile or a damaged partition between flues is a common reason.
This is worth taking seriously, because smoke and combustion gases are going where they were never meant to go. Stop using the fireplace that seems to be the source, and call us for an assessment. A smoke test often helps confirm where the leak is.
Condensate and a flue that runs cool
Combustion gases carry water vapor. When they cool inside the flue, that vapor can condense on the walls, and the code's list of approved lining materials speaks of resisting corrosion, erosion, softening or cracking from flue gases and condensate.
Condensate can soften old mortar joints and wear on tile over time, especially where the flue is larger than its appliance needs. When we see signs of that kind of wear, we point to the likely cause so the repair is not undone by the same conditions.
A new appliance changes the question
The code asks for a lining appropriate for the type of appliance connected. A flue that suited an open wood fireplace may not suit a stove, and one that served one appliance may not suit the next.
If you are changing what the chimney serves, tell us before any flue repair. It may change what repair is appropriate, or show that a new liner sized to the new appliance is the right path instead of patching the old one. The new appliance's installation instructions usually say what flue or liner it needs, which makes the decision clearer.
Repairs to an existing metal liner
A flue that has already been relined with metal can still be damaged. Sections can separate, corrode or be crushed, and the top plate or cap can loosen.
Repairs to a metal liner use parts that match the original listed system and follow its instructions. If parts are no longer available or the liner is badly damaged, we explain the options and point you to relining. The liner's label, usually at the top plate or near the appliance connection, identifies the system so matching parts can be ordered. Without it, we explain how that limits what can be confirmed and repaired.

Flue repair answers for Millenia homeowners
If your question is not here, our Millenia team is a phone call away.
Is resurfacing as good as a new liner?
For a flue that is still in line and mostly intact, a listed resurfacing system can be a sound repair. For one with missing or displaced sections, it is not. We tell you which describes your flue.
What if the problem is the smoke chamber or damper instead?
Then we tell you, and that repair is priced on its own. You do not pay for flue work the chimney does not need.
