How we handle chimney relining in Richmond Heights
Notes from our Richmond Heights liner installers, tied to the code and the product instructions.
How liner length is measured
One manufacturer measures liner length from the bottom of the opening to the top of the chimney, then adds about six inches for the crown and the top hardware. Measuring on site avoids a liner that ends short of the top or leaves excess coiled inside the flue.
The measured length is listed on your estimate beside the product. On chimneys with offsets, the route can be longer than the straight height, so we measure the path the liner will actually follow rather than the distance from the ground.
When one appliance leaves a shared flue
Removing an appliance from a chimney can leave the remaining one on a flue sized for more than it produces. NFPA 211 treats the removal of a connected appliance as a reason for a closer inspection.
We size the flue against the appliance still connected and tell you whether relining is needed to bring it back into range. The unused opening left by the removed appliance also needs attention, and we note how it should be closed so the remaining flue works as intended.
Liner cap or chimney cap
A liner cap covers one flue opening as part of the liner system. A chimney cap covers the flue from the crown, and on some chimneys covers several flues at once. Both can exist on one chimney.
If your chimney cap also needs replacing, it is priced as its own item, and we make sure the two parts fit together. The words get mixed up often, so the estimate names each part and shows which one the relining includes.
Writing down the clearances we checked
Clearance to combustibles is one of the things NFPA 211 asks an inspection to look at. On a relining job, we record where we could confirm the airspace, where we could not and how that affected the insulation decision.
That record answers the question for anyone who looks at the chimney later, from the next sweep to a buyer's inspector, without anyone having to repeat the same climb into the attic.

Relining answers for Richmond Heights homeowners
Straight answers on relining from our Richmond Heights team. Call if yours is not here.
Can a new liner go inside my existing clay tile?
Often it can, if the tile leaves enough room for the liner and any insulation, and damaged pieces will not block it. When there is not enough room, the tile may need to come out. We explain which applies after proving the route.
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.
