Planning the liner your appliance needs
Measuring the passage a liner must follow
The height visible above the roof is only part of the route. A liner runs from the appliance or the top of the smoke chamber up through the whole chimney, including any offsets. Its length and size come from that full passage, not from a glance at the roofline.
During the assessment we look at the opening at the top and the connection at the bottom. Where the middle of the route cannot be seen, we say so. The estimate reflects what was measured and names anything that may change once the old passage is opened.
Appliances that need their own vent system
Some appliances are designed to push their flue gases out under pressure, or to condense them. The chimney liner standard's scope excludes those types, and their manuals specify the vent systems they need. A chimney liner is not a substitute.
If your appliance is one of these, relining may not be the answer at all. We explain what the manual calls for and whether any of it is work we do. Knowing this before an estimate avoids paying for a liner the appliance cannot use, and it keeps the conversation on the right equipment.
Floors and ceilings the chimney passes through
Where a chimney passes through floors and ceilings inside the house, the code requires fireblocking with noncombustible material. That detail sits outside the flue but affects how heat can travel. It is usually hidden behind finishes.
We note what we can see at accessible points such as an attic. Anything hidden is described as concealed rather than approved. If the relining conversation raises a clearance question, we explain it and suggest how it could be checked without guesswork. The findings keep what was seen and what stayed hidden clearly apart.
Appliances on different floors sharing one chimney
A chimney may serve appliances on two floors through separate flues. Each flue needs its own lining decision, and the space around one liner may not vent the other appliance. Treating them as one job without separating them causes confusion later.
We identify each flue and each appliance before quoting. The estimate can include one flue or both, and it says which. If only one is relined now, the other flue's condition is noted so it is not forgotten at the next visit. Each appliance's manual is read separately for its own required size.

Flue liner answers before you approve
Can a liner go inside the clay tile that is already there?
That depends on space and condition. If the old tile leaves room for the liner and whatever insulation its listing needs, it can usually stay. Broken sections that block the route, or a passage that is too tight, may require removal before installation.
Do you install liners for open fireplaces as well as appliances?
Yes. For an open masonry fireplace, the code sizes the flue against the fireplace opening, so the calculation differs from an appliance. We explain which rule set the size in the estimate, along with how the liner leaves the smoke chamber.
Does relining change how my chimney looks from outside?
Usually only the top changes, where the top plate and the liner cap sit above the crown. If a wall connection is involved, the tee opening is finished and sealed. We describe any visible change in the estimate before work starts.
