A liner for an open wood fireplace

Want to keep using the open fireplace, but the old liner has failed? A fireplace needs a flue sized to its opening. The Florida Building Code ties them together, with a round flue no smaller than one twelfth of the opening's area and a square one no smaller than one tenth.

Measure the opening, work out the flue size it needs, then fit a stainless liner that meets it, connected to the smoke chamber above the damper: that's the job in order. If the opening is large and the chimney small, our specialists explain the choices, such as a smaller opening. Call our pros about relining your open fireplace in Fairbanks: (352) 675-6366.

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

Local Conditions

Clay flue tiles that have cracked

A clay-tile flue in Fairbanks can crack from years of heat, settling or an old chimney fire nobody noticed, and none of it shows from the firebox. Our specialists inspect the full flue before recommending anything. Where tiles are cracked, a continuous stainless liner restores a sound flue without taking the chimney apart. Relining costs far less than rebuilding to replace old tile.

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.

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.

Pouring insulation in around the liner

Some liner makers, National Chimney among them, allow a poured insulation mix around the liner instead of a blanket. It fills the gap around the liner inside the old flue and sets there.

Poured insulation suits flues where a wrapped liner won't fit or where the old tile is too damaged to rely on. It's more work to install and harder to undo, so our pros recommend it only where it's the better answer for your chimney.

You'll see blanket and poured options side by side when both are possible, with the listing each relies on. The mix is the one the liner maker lists.

Keeping a stainless liner clean

A stainless liner still needs care after installation. Keep its instructions so future cleaning can use a head and method suited to that liner; brush material alone does not establish that a tool is suitable.

That's the brush our pros use on stainless, and they empty the tee cap at the bottom where there is one. Yearly sweeping and dry fuel are the two biggest things you can do to make the liner last, since deposit and moisture shorten its life.

The liner's make and size are on your quote, so the right brush comes on every future sweep. A dry, clean liner lasts longest.

FAQs

Liner questions from homeowners

Why is my water heater flue crumbling?

It may be too big for the water heater, especially after a furnace change, so the exhaust condenses inside. A liner sized to the water heater stops it. Talk to us about it in Fairbanks at (352) 675-6366.

Do you sweep the flue before relining?

Yes. Liner makers require a clean flue and smoke chamber before installation, and a clean flue shows the damage that affects the install. The sweep is priced on its own line.
