Cracked flue tiles found on an inspection

Were you told the clay flue tiles are cracked or missing? That's a reason to keep the fireplace cold. The liner is what keeps heat and smoke inside the flue, and broken tiles let both reach the masonry and, in some chimneys, the wood framing beyond it.

Relining with a stainless liner is the usual fix, since it runs as one piece from the firebox or appliance to the top and doesn't depend on the old tiles. Our specialists confirm the damage, measure the flue, and price the liner and its insulation. Reserve a relining visit for the cracked flue at your home in Starke by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Measured directly, about 23 miles separate Starke from the Gainesville reference point. Starke falls in the Bradford County part of our service area.

Local Conditions

Trees over the chimney top

If trees hang over your roof in Starke, leaves and twigs can land on the liner's top plate and cap. A clogged cap screen chokes the draft, even through a new liner. Our specialists fit a cap sized to the liner and check the screen on every sweep, clearing anything that has collected. A hip-shaped cap lid sheds leaves better than a flat one.

The inspection before relining

NFPA 211 calls for a closer inspection before a chimney is relined, and it makes sense. The flue has to be checked along its length, the smoke chamber and crown looked at, and the clearances around the chimney considered, since they decide whether insulation is needed.

Our specialists do that inspection as part of the relining quote. It's also when they confirm the relining is the right fix, and not something else, like a crown or cap problem letting water in.

You'll get the findings noted on the quote along with the liner plan and its price. It's also when water problems at the crown or cap get spotted, so they're fixed before the new liner goes in.

Break-in fires on a new liner

Some insulated liner systems call for reduced flue temperatures for a break-in period after installation. National Chimney's instructions, for instance, describe small to moderate fires in a fireplace for the first few hours of use.

The gentler start lets the insulation and joints settle. Our pros give you the break-in steps for your liner spelled out, with what to watch for during those first fires.

After that, the fireplace or insert is used as normal. Skipping the break-in may not cause trouble right away, but it's part of the maker's instructions and worth following. Our pros can answer questions on the phone during those first fires.

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

Before relining in Starke, a few answers

Is Starke on your list for relining?

Yes. Our specialists reline chimneys throughout Bradford County, Starke included, and every job opens with a free look at the flue and the appliance it serves. Knowing what vents into the chimney helps us come prepared.

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.
