Chimney liner installation, from sizing to cap
Parts from one listed liner system only
A listed liner is tested as a system of pipe, connectors, top plate, cap and any insulation the maker specifies. The DuraLiner instructions warn against mixing its parts with other products, improvising solutions or modifying parts. Other makers write similar limits into their manuals.
For you, this means the estimate should name one system and its matching components. A cap from one brand on a liner from another is not a small substitution. We order the parts that belong to the proposed system and explain any accessory the job needs.
Using the appliance after relining
After installation, the appliance's own manual governs how it is started and used. We explain which parts of the liner need no attention and which deserve a look later. Watch the early fires for smoke at the opening or an unusual odor.
If something seems wrong, stop using the appliance and tell us what you saw. We come back to check the connection and the cap. Our workmanship warranty covers how the liner was installed, and we explain what it includes when the job is handed over.
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.
A follow-up look at a new liner
After a period of use, a relined flue can show whether the connection and top parts are behaving as planned. Deposits, rattles at the cap or smoke at the appliance are worth telling us about. None of these should be ignored.
Describe what you notice and when it happens. A follow-up visit can check the connection, the cap and the liner interior. If a workmanship issue is found, our workmanship warranty addresses it, and we explain what was corrected. Early attention to small signs keeps them small.

More about relining your chimney in Homestead Base
What happens to my damper when the liner is installed?
If the liner runs down to an appliance, the damper plate or frame may have to come out for it to pass. The estimate says whether the damper stays or goes, and any damper repair is priced separately from the liner.
What should I have ready for the free inspection?
The appliance make and model, its manual if you have it, and any earlier inspection wording about the lining. Old invoices for chimney work help too. If you cannot find these, we locate the model label during the visit.
Are the top plate and cap included in the relining price?
They belong to the liner system, so our relining estimate includes them. A larger cap covering several flues, or crown repair around the plate, would be listed separately if the inspection shows it is needed.
