Chimney relining details worth knowing in Little Haiti
Measuring the passage a liner must follow
The height visible above the roof is only part of the route. A liner runs from the appliance or the top of the smoke chamber up through the whole chimney, including any offsets. Its length and size come from that full passage, not from a glance at the roofline.
During the assessment we look at the opening at the top and the connection at the bottom. Where the middle of the route cannot be seen, we say so. The estimate reflects what was measured and names anything that may change once the old passage is opened.
The written record after a liner goes in
When the liner is installed, you receive a written record of the work. It names the liner system, the parts installed, the flue it serves and the appliance it was sized for. That information is easy to lose once the chimney is closed up.
Keep the record with the appliance manual and the liner's own instructions. A future sweep, inspector or appliance installer can start from facts instead of guesses. If you replace the appliance or change fuel, the record shows what the liner was intended for.
Keeping an open fireplace after relining
A liner can serve an open masonry fireplace as well as an appliance. The sizing then follows the fireplace opening, and the lower end transitions above the smoke chamber. The finished flue should still carry smoke up rather than back into the room.
If you mainly burn in the open fireplace, say so at the inspection. We explain whether relining suits that use and what the transition involves. The estimate states the rule used to size the liner, so the choice can be checked later. A fireplace you use often deserves that check.
Comparing two relining quotes fairly
Relining quotes can look alike and describe very different jobs. One may include insulation, a cap and tile removal, while another prices only the pipe. The total means little without the lines behind it.
Line the quotes up by system name, liner size, insulation, top parts, connection and preparation. Ask each company what is excluded. Our estimate is written so that comparison is straightforward, and we explain any line you want clarified. A quote that cannot say which listing its liner carries is missing something basic. That single question often separates one proposal from another.

What to know before relining in Little Haiti
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.
Do you install liners for open fireplaces as well as appliances?
Yes. For an open masonry fireplace, the code sizes the flue against the fireplace opening, so the calculation differs from an appliance. We explain which rule set the size in the estimate, along with how the liner leaves the smoke chamber.
What if my appliance needs a vent the chimney cannot provide?
Some appliances vent under pressure or condense their flue gases, and the chimney liner standard excludes those types. Their manuals specify their own vent systems. We explain this before any liner estimate is written, so nothing is bought in error.
