Relining decisions explained step by step
Separate flues and permitted common gas venting
The permitted connections depend on the appliances, fuel and listed venting system. A DuraLiner restriction on a particular installation does not apply to every liner. DuraVent also publishes common-vent sizing guidance for compatible Category I gas appliances. That is a specific designed arrangement, not permission to join unrelated equipment.
We trace the existing connections and check the applicable appliance and liner instructions before recommending a layout. A solid-fuel appliance may require its own flue. Where common gas venting is permitted, the combined input, vent dimensions and connector arrangement all need evaluation. The gap outside a liner cannot serve another appliance.
Deposits trapped behind a failed lining
When a clay lining cracks or its joints open, soot and deposits can collect in the gaps behind it. A new liner inside that passage leaves those deposits where they are unless they are removed first. That is one reason liner makers ask for thorough cleaning.
We explain what the cleaning can reach and what it cannot. If the gaps are significant, that affects whether the old lining should be removed. The estimate states the preparation, so you know what surrounds the new pipe once it is in.
Liner size tables in the manual
Liner manuals include tables that match liner sizes to flue openings and appliance connections. They show which liner fits which passage, and sometimes which adapters are needed. They do not replace the appliance's own venting requirements.
We use both documents together. The appliance sets the required size, and the liner table shows whether the passage can take it. If the two conflict, the estimate explains the conflict and the options for resolving it. Tables also list the adapters a connection may require. Those small parts appear in the estimate as well.
Liner decisions for fireplaces in Lauderdale Harbours
For a fireplace in Lauderdale Harbours, the liner decision depends on how the fireplace is used and what may be connected to it later. An open fireplace, a solid-fuel appliance and a gas-fired appliance each lead to a different sizing basis. We ask before we measure.
The assessment then checks the passage against that use. The estimate explains which rule set the size and which listing covers the liner. You approve a plan that fits the way the fireplace is actually used. A change of use later means the sizing question returns.

Liner installation answers in Lauderdale Harbours
Does the new liner need insulation around it?
Only the liner's listing can answer that. Some systems require insulation on part or all of the run, some come insulated, and some rely on the space around them. We read the requirement from the manual and state it in the estimate.
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.
Can you reline a chimney that serves a gas-fired appliance?
Yes, where the fuel gas code and the appliance manual allow a chimney liner. The code accepts listed liners, clay lining or other approved material. The appliance's own venting type decides whether a chimney liner is appropriate at all.
