Before you reline or add an insert

Planning a new liner, an insert or a different appliance? NFPA 211 calls for a closer inspection before relining or changing the appliance, and it saves money, because the plan depends on what the flue really looks like inside.

Flue size, offsets, broken tile, the smoke chamber and the damper all get checked, so you know the chimney is sound enough for the new setup. You'll get options that fit your chimney, each given a written price, rather than a one-size answer. Ask for an inspection ahead of your insert or liner in Arredondo by phoning (352) 675-6366.

In our service area, Arredondo is grouped with Alachua County. Arredondo sits away from Florida's Gulf and Atlantic shoreline.

If you're buying in Arredondo, a chimney inspection gives you the condition of the crown, the flue, the damper and the firebox written out before closing. A general home inspection may not go that far.

Checking the joints between flue tiles

A clay flue is a column of tiles stacked inside the chimney. The Florida Building Code has them set in medium-duty refractory mortar with tight joints left smooth on the inside, so smoke and heat stay inside the tile.

Our pros shine a light up the flue and look at each joint they can see for gaps, missing mortar or offset tiles. An open joint lets heat and gases reach the brick around the liner, and over time that damages the chimney from the inside. If a joint is open, you'll hear where it is and what relining or repair would involve.

Measuring the hearth in front of the fire

In front of the opening, a noncombustible hearth extension catches sparks and any log that rolls out. Under the Florida Building Code, the extension reaches 16 inches or more out from the opening and 8 inches or more beyond each side, growing to 20 and 12 inches once the opening is 6 square feet or larger.

Your hearth gets measured against those figures and checked for cracked or loose tiles where embers could slip through to wood below, and for how it sits against the floor. A short hearth can be extended with matching noncombustible material, and the options come with prices.

What happens while our pros are there

An inspection starts with a few questions: which fireplace, what you burn, what you've noticed and when. Then our specialists look from the ground, go up if the roof allows, and work inside with a light and a mirror through the damper and into the smoke chamber.

They'll check the attic side if there's access, and any stove or insert connections. You're welcome to watch the inside part and ask questions as they go. Nothing is taken apart without your okay, and before they leave, you'll hear what they found and get it noted on the quote, with any repair priced line by line.
