Chimney liner installation, from sizing to cap
Cleaning access after the liner is installed
The code asks for a cleanout near the base of each masonry chimney flue, with an exception where the flue can be cleaned through a fireplace opening. A relined flue still needs a way in for brushes. The liner maker's instructions describe how the system is opened for cleaning.
Ask us where cleaning access will be once the job is done. On some systems it is the cap at the top, and on others a tee cap near the bottom. Keeping that access clear and usable is part of planning the installation, not an afterthought.
A flue is examined before a gas appliance is connected
The fuel gas code asks that a chimney passage be examined before an appliance is replaced or connected to it. The passage must be clear, and it must be cleaned if it previously vented a fireplace or a solid or liquid fuel appliance. That step matters whenever a flue changes use.
If a chimney that served a fireplace will now vent a gas-fired appliance, the old deposits are part of the preparation. We explain the cleaning and the liner decision together. The appliance connection is coordinated with whoever installs the appliance, and our scope says where our work ends.
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.
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 to know before relining in Lauderdale Isles
Do you remove the old liner before installing a new one?
When an old liner has failed, it normally comes out first, along with its top plate and cap. We explain how it will be removed and haul the debris away. Damage found behind it is discussed before the scope changes.
Will the chimney be left open overnight during relining?
No. Before leaving each day we close off the open chimney top against rain and debris. Inside, the fireplace area is protected and cleaned, and debris is hauled away when the work is done.
Can I use my fireplace while I decide about relining?
If an inspection has raised doubts about the lining, hold off until the question is resolved. A damaged lining can let heat and flue gases reach places they should not. We explain what is known so you can decide with the facts.
