Relining once a chimney fire is out
If a fire is burning in the chimney now, leave the house and call 911 once everyone is outside. A chimney fire, even a quick one, can crack clay tiles along the whole flue, and the chimney can't be used again until it's been checked and the liner repaired or replaced.
After the fire department has cleared it, our specialists inspect the full flue and the framing around it and tell you what was damaged. Relining with stainless is the usual way back to a safe fireplace, and the options are given a written price. Reach our relining pros about the chimney in Orange Heights by calling (352) 675-6366.
Our specialists serve Orange Heights as part of Alachua County. Orange Heights is set inland from Florida's sea coasts.
What's Included
Inside your chimney in Orange Heights, a new liner
- Each liner matched to the appliance below it
- Insulation wrapped to the liner's listing
- Top plates sealed and caps fitted
- Tees and cleanout caps at the base
Local Conditions
Sun and heat on the top plate
The top plate and its sealant on a chimney in Orange Heights 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.
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.

Sealing the top of a relined flue
At the top of the chimney, the liner passes through a stainless top plate that covers the old flue opening and sits on the crown. A clamp holds the liner at the right height, and the plate's edges are sealed so rain can't run down around the liner inside the old flue.
A cap goes on top, sized to the liner and made to fit the plate. Our pros check that the plate sits flat on the crown and that the crown under it is sound, since a cracked crown lets water in around the plate.
Crown repairs, if needed, are priced separately.
Condensation in an oversized flue
Gas exhaust carries water vapor. In a flue that's too large or too cold, the exhaust cools before it leaves, and the water condenses on the flue walls.
That moisture carries acids that eat mortar joints, crack tile and stain the chimney from inside, showing up as white crust and damp patches that look like a rain leak. A liner sized to the appliance keeps the exhaust warm enough to leave as vapor.
Any flue serving a gas appliance is checked for condensation damage, and the new liner is sized to stop it. The appliance's own instructions set the size.
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.

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 Orange Heights at (352) 675-6366.
Is relining covered by a warranty?
You get our workmanship warranty on the installation, and the liner carries its maker's warranty under its terms. Reserve your free relining inspection in Orange Heights at (352) 675-6366.
