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 Tioga at (352) 675-6366.

The Gulf and Atlantic shorelines are away from Tioga. A straight line from the Gainesville reference point to Tioga runs about 8 miles.

Local Conditions

Liners behind a working insert

A wood insert that heats a home in Tioga runs hot and long, and its liner has to be sized and insulated to its instructions to draft well through those fires. Our specialists connect the insert to a full-length liner, insulate it where the listing calls for it, and set up the tee or connection so it's easy to sweep.

How It Works

Test piece first, then the full liner in Tioga

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.

316L and AL29-4C stainless

Makers match the liner alloy to the exhaust. National Chimney's instructions, for example, list 316L stainless for wood, pellet, coal, oil and non-condensing gas appliances, and AL29-4C for high-efficiency gas units, whose cooler exhaust condenses and attacks metal harder.

Using 316L on a high-efficiency appliance shortens the liner's life. Using AL29-4C on a wood appliance isn't what it's listed for. Our pros read the appliance type before choosing and name the alloy on the quote.

If you might change appliances later, they'll mention which choice keeps your options open. The alloy also decides which cap and top plate go with the liner, and those are matched.

A tee fitting at the base of the liner

For some inserts, the liner connects to the appliance through a tee, a T-shaped fitting with a removable cap at its base. Liner makers include it so soot and debris that fall down the liner collect where they can be emptied.

Where the appliance and liner call for a tee, one goes in, and you'll be shown where its cap is. At each sweep the cap is opened and the debris emptied, which keeps the connection from clogging.

Where the setup uses a direct connection instead, you'll hear how that one is checked and cleaned. The cap is easy to reach.

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.
