Planning the liner your appliance needs
The lining types the code accepts
The code names a short list of acceptable linings for a masonry chimney. It includes clay flue tile, a listed chimney lining system, a factory-built chimney unit listed for use inside masonry, and other approved materials that resist heat, corrosion and condensate. Each one carries its own installation rules.
A listed lining system is designed to go into an existing masonry chimney, which is why relining proposals often take that route. Our estimate still names the option it uses. If another route suits your chimney better, we explain why and describe what that route would involve.
Rigid liner sections in a straight passage
A straight flue can accept rigid liner sections that join as they are lowered. Rigid pipe holds its shape along the run and connects section by section. It suits a passage where no bend has to be negotiated and where the top gives room to work.
Whether rigid or flexible pipe goes in is a choice we explain, not a default. The estimate names the form of liner, how the sections connect and how the run is supported. If both would work, we tell you what each involves so the decision stays yours.
Rain entering a relined flue
A liner's cap and top plate are meant to keep rain out of the pipe. If water still reaches the appliance after relining, the cause may be the cap, the plate seal or another part of the chimney. Each has a different fix.
Tell us when the water appears and how much you see. A hose water test, used only when the job calls for it, helps tell one source from another. The finding is explained before any repair is proposed, and the repair is priced on its own line.
Room clearances belong to the appliance manual
Clearances between an appliance and nearby walls, floors or furniture come from the appliance's manual. Relining the chimney does not change them. A new liner does not make an unsafe appliance position safe.
If we notice a clearance concern in the room, we mention it. Correcting it may involve the appliance installer rather than our team. The estimate focuses on the liner, and our note makes sure the concern is not lost between the two jobs. Room clearances are checked against the manual, not by eye.

Common questions about a new flue liner
How do you decide what size liner my chimney needs?
We start from the appliance manual, which states the flue size the appliance requires, and the code rule that a flue may not be smaller than the appliance connector. Then we check whether the passage can take that size along its whole route.
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.
What warranty applies to a new chimney liner?
Two apply. The liner maker's product warranty has its own conditions, often including maintenance. Our workmanship warranty covers how we installed it. We explain both when we hand over the written record of the work.
