Flue relining work and the rules behind it
A liner for an open fireplace follows other sizing rules
When the flue serves a masonry fireplace rather than a sealed appliance, the code sizes it against the fireplace opening. A liner that is too small for the opening can leave the fireplace short of draft. That makes relining an open fireplace a different calculation from relining for a stove.
Tell us whether you plan to keep burning in the open fireplace or connect an appliance later. The answer changes which rule governs the liner size. We explain the basis for our sizing in the estimate, so you can see which part of the code the proposal relies on.
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.
Looking up the flue from the fireplace or appliance
The bottom of the flue shows the connection, the damper area and the lower tiles. It also shows how much room there is for a liner to pass. For appliances, the connector and thimble are checked from here.
We explain what we can see from below and what the damper or smoke chamber hides. That limit is written into the findings. If more access is needed to decide, we say what it would take and what it would add to the estimate. Soot patterns at the opening can also hint at how the flue behaves.
What a liner visit in Hialeah involves
A liner visit in Hialeah follows the plan you approved. The old passage is prepared, the liner is lowered and supported, and the top and bottom connections are made. The appliance connection is checked before we leave.
At the end we explain what was installed and hand over the written record. The chimney top is closed with the liner's cap, and debris is hauled away. If anything was left for another day, we say what and why. If you want to see the finished connection before we leave, ask.

Questions to settle before relining
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.
Does a relined flue still need cleaning?
Yes. A liner gives flue gases a sound passage but does not stop deposits forming. The liner's manual explains how it should be cleaned and inspected, and maintenance visits from our team can include the liner, cap and top plate.
Do you leave paperwork about the liner that was installed?
Yes. You receive a written record of the work naming the liner system, the flue it serves, the appliance it was sized for and the parts installed. Keep it with the appliance manual for later visits.
