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 Williston Highlands by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Clues you can see from the yard

Before a ladder goes up, the chimney gets a look from the yard. A lean or a bulge, mortar washed out of the joints, white staining down the brick, rust streaks under the cap and gaps at the roof line all tell part of the story.

Our specialists note those first, since they guide where to look closely once they're on the roof or inside. A chimney that tilts or has separated from the wall gets checked at its base as well, because the footing carries all that weight. It's a quick step, and it saves time on everything that follows.

Does the flue match the fireplace opening?

Smoke from a big opening needs a flue with room to carry it. The Florida Building Code sets the ratio: for a round flue, no less than one twelfth of the opening's area, and for a square one, no less than one tenth. A flue smaller than that struggles on every fire.

When a fire smokes into the room for no clear reason, our specialists measure the opening and the flue and do that arithmetic. An undersized flue can't keep up, and the fix might be a smaller opening, a taller chimney or a change of appliance. You'll get the measurements and the options, rather than a guess.

Flashing seen from the roof

Where brick meets roofing, layered metal flashing keeps rain out of the joint. It's built in layers, with base pieces on the roof and counter pieces set into the brick above them, and it's one of the places water gets in when it's worn.

All four sides of the flashing get checked for lifted edges, gaps, rust holes and dried-out sealant. On wider chimneys, our pros check for a cricket behind the chimney to shed water. If the roof covering around the chimney has failed, they'll say so, since that part goes to a roofer, and your quote will say who does what.
