Planning the liner your appliance needs
The existing flue is cleaned before relining
Liner instructions call for the existing masonry flue to be inspected and cleaned before a liner goes in. The DuraLiner manual specifically mentions removing glazed creosote. Deposits left behind stay in the space around the new liner, where nobody can reach them later.
The cleaning is listed as its own line in the estimate. If heavy glazing needs more than ordinary brushing, we explain the extra step before doing it. You approve the preparation and the liner as parts of one plan, with each part priced so you can see it.
Rain entering a relined flue
A liner's cap and top plate are meant to keep rain out of the pipe. If water still reaches the appliance after relining, the cause may be the cap, the plate seal or another part of the chimney. Each has a different fix.
Tell us when the water appears and how much you see. A hose water test, used only when the job calls for it, helps tell one source from another. The finding is explained before any repair is proposed, and the repair is priced on its own line.
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.
Maintenance visits for a relined flue
A relined flue benefits from regular attention like any other part of the system. Maintenance visits can cover the liner interior, the cap, the top plate and the connection. The liner's manual explains what its maker expects over time.
We note the liner system on our records, so the next visit starts with the right information. If a part shows wear, we explain it and price the fix separately. Keep the liner manual where you keep the appliance manual, so both are easy to find. Notes from each visit help show how the liner is wearing.

Chimney liner questions, answered plainly
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.
Why does the estimate list cleaning separately from the liner?
Liner makers ask for the existing flue to be inspected and cleaned before relining, and the effort varies from chimney to chimney. Listing it separately shows you what the preparation involves and what it adds to the total.
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.
