A furnace or water heater flue that's too big

Replaced the furnace, and now the water heater vents alone into a big masonry flue? Or found white crust and crumbling mortar at the base of that flue? Gas exhaust cools in a flue that's too large for it, and the moisture condenses and eats at the masonry.

Our pros size a liner to the appliance using its instructions and the national gas code's venting tables, and fit one made from an alloy suited to that appliance. The chimney stops taking on water from the inside. The liner's size and metal are written on your quote. Reserve a flue relining for your gas appliance in Cedar Key at (352) 675-6366.

Cedar Key is home to Cedar Key Museum State Park. The Gainesville reference point is roughly 55 miles from Cedar Key as the crow flies.

Local Conditions

Moist, salty air and the flue top

Moist air near the coast in Cedar Key works its way into a chimney that sits unused between fires. A capped, sealed top plate keeps most of it out of the liner and the old flue around it. Our pros seal the plate edges carefully and fit a cap sized to the liner, so the insulation around the liner stays dry.

How It Works

Sizing starts with what you burn

Read the appliance

The rating plate and manual come first, then the flue is measured and inspected.
Sweep and prove the path

After a sweep, a test piece is run down the flue to confirm the liner will pass.
Wrap, feed and connect

The liner is insulated where needed, fed down, and connected at the bottom.
Seal the top, explain break-in

The top plate and cap go on, the draft is checked, and you get break-in steps.

Proving the flue before ordering

Proving the flue before installation is something Selkirk's instructions describe: running a test piece or guide cone of the liner's size down the full length to be sure it will pass.

Our specialists run that test on each relining job. Loose tile, mortar ledges, tight joints and offsets show up during the test, and they're cleared or planned for before the liner is ordered. Sometimes the test shows a smaller liner or an oval one is needed.

It's a short step that prevents the worst install-day surprise: a liner stuck halfway down a flue it couldn't have fit. The result is noted on the quote.

Wrapping the liner in insulation

Selkirk's liner instructions require insulation where the chimney's clearance to combustibles can't be determined, and describe a foil-faced ceramic blanket wrapped with overlapping seams, sealed with foil tape and held with a mesh sleeve.

Our specialists wrap the liner that way before it goes down, checking that the overlap runs the full length. Insulation keeps the flue warmer, which helps the draft and cuts deposit, and it protects the masonry and any framing close to it.

The blanket thickness is the one the liner's listing calls for, and it's named on your quote. Seams face away from where the liner rubs during the feed.

What relining does to the damper

On an insert installation, the liner runs through the damper opening to the insert's outlet. The old throat damper is either removed or fixed open, depending on the insert's instructions, since the insert has its own controls.

On an open fireplace, the liner connects above the damper, and the damper stays in use. If it's rusted or warped, it's repaired or replaced as part of the job.

On setups where the throat damper is gone, a sealing damper at the top plate can close the liner between fires. Our pros explain which applies to yours and price each part. Each part is listed.

FAQs

What happens to my damper?
