What goes into a liner job in Winter Garden
Three points our relining crew in Winter Garden explains before a single part is ordered.
After a chimney fire or a damaging storm
A building or chimney fire, a weather event or any incident likely to have damaged the chimney is another NFPA 211 reason for a closer inspection. Intense heat can crack clay tile and open its joints, and a storm can shift the top of a chimney or damage its cap.
Stop using the fireplace until the flue has been checked, and let us know what happened, so the inspection can focus on the damage most likely to be there. Relining is discussed only after that inspection, based on what it actually found in the flue.
Relining inside the old tile or removing it
A stainless flexible liner can be installed within the existing flue tile, or the tile can be removed. The choice depends on how much room the proposed liner needs, whether insulation has to fit around it and whether damaged tile would obstruct it.
Removal adds labor and debris, so we explain why it is proposed and what it achieves before it goes on the estimate. Where the tile can stay, we say so, since leaving sound material in place keeps the job simpler.
The fireplace damper area and a new liner
Relining a fireplace flue has to deal with the damper area at the bottom, where the liner passes through or connects. Whether the old damper stays, is removed or is replaced by another closure depends on the listed system and the fireplace.
We explain the plan for that area in the estimate, so nothing about it is decided on installation day. If the fireplace will need a different way to close the flue afterward, that is written down too.
Hard creosote deposits before relining
Glazed creosote is hard, shiny and difficult to remove, and liner makers expect it gone before installation, along with ordinary soot and creosote. Removing it can take more than a standard sweeping.
If we find it, the removal method goes into the scope, and the relining waits until the flue is clean. Its presence also says something about how the appliance has been running, so we mention what may have caused it and how the new liner and good habits help prevent it returning.

Chimney liner questions from Winter Garden
What Winter Garden homeowners ask us before a flue is relined.
Will relining fix a fireplace that draws poorly?
It can when the flue size or temperature is the cause. Poor draw can also come from a blocked cap, a closed damper or a short chimney. We check those first and recommend relining only when it answers the actual problem.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
Someone needs to give us access to the fireplace or appliance area, since the job connects inside the house as well as on the roof. We agree on a time that suits you when we schedule.
