Choosing the liner metal

Different jobs call for different stainless alloys. Liner makers such as National Chimney use 316L stainless for wood, pellet, coal, oil and standard gas appliances, and an alloy called AL29-4C for high-efficiency gas appliances whose exhaust is more corrosive.

Aluminum liners exist too, but makers limit them to a narrow class of gas appliances. Our specialists choose the alloy the appliance's instructions and the liner's listing call for, and the metal is written on your quote. The right alloy the first time avoids an early replacement. Reserve a liner in the right alloy for your chimney in Arredondo: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Sun and heat on the top plate

The top plate and its sealant on a chimney in Arredondo sit in full sun on the crown, and heat from the flue below adds to it. Over the years, the sealant at the plate's edges dries and cracks. Our specialists check that seal on every sweep and reseal it when needed, so water can't run down around the liner inside the old flue.

Flexible liners and offsets

Plenty of chimneys don't rise straight. An offset, where the flue shifts sideways partway up, blocks a rigid liner. Corrugated flexible stainless liners are made to bend through those offsets and take up expansion as they heat, while keeping their round shape.

Offsets show up while measuring, and the liner chosen has to pass them. Our pros feed the liner down slowly with a pulling cone, guiding it around the bend without kinking it.

A kinked or crushed liner loses area and won't draft properly, so they check its shape at the offset before connecting anything below. The liner is marked where it passes the bend.

Cleaning the flue before relining

Liner makers ask for a swept flue and a clean smoke chamber before their product is fitted. Deposit left behind a new liner can keep smoldering, and an unswept flue hides the loose tile and ledges that decide the install.

So the sweep comes first, then the smoke chamber is scraped and anything loose is pulled from the old flue. Then our pros measure and prove the path on a clean flue.

The sweep is part of the relining plan and priced on its own line. If heavy glaze is found, removing it may be a separate step, and you'll hear about it before the liner is ordered.

Relining after a chimney fire

A chimney fire can reach temperatures that crack clay tile along much of the flue, even when the fire itself was brief. Before the fireplace is used again, the flue needs a full inspection, and cracked tile means relining.

After checking the full height of the flue, the smoke chamber, the crown and the framing near the chimney, our specialists recommend a liner insulated to its listing, which also shields the masonry from the heat of the flue.

They'll tell you what caused the fire, from deposit to fuel, so the new liner isn't put through the same thing. A clean, well-fed fire is the best protection.
