Chimney liner installation, from sizing to cap
Sizing starts with the appliance manual
A liner is sized to the appliance it serves, not to the opening at the top of the chimney. The DuraLiner instructions, for example, say the liner shall be no smaller than the size the appliance manufacturer specifies. Other listed systems carry similar wording in their own manuals.
That is why we ask for the make and model before we quote. With the appliance manual in hand, the required flue size becomes a documented figure rather than an estimate. If the manual is missing, we look for the model label on the unit and work from the published instructions.
Offsets in the flue and flexible liners
Not every flue rises straight from the fireplace to the top. Offsets and bends limit what kind of liner can pass and how it is supported. Flexible liners can follow some bends that rigid pipe cannot, within the limits the maker publishes.
We check the route before recommending flexible or rigid pipe. An offset may also limit the liner size that fits, which feeds back into the sizing question. If the route cannot take the liner the appliance needs, that is explained before the estimate is final, not discovered on installation day.
Rigid liner sections in a straight passage
A straight flue can accept rigid liner sections that join as they are lowered. Rigid pipe holds its shape along the run and connects section by section. It suits a passage where no bend has to be negotiated and where the top gives room to work.
Whether rigid or flexible pipe goes in is a choice we explain, not a default. The estimate names the form of liner, how the sections connect and how the run is supported. If both would work, we tell you what each involves so the decision stays yours.
Following up on an earlier relining recommendation
Sometimes relining comes up because another company or an earlier inspection mentioned it. The wording of that finding matters. A note about a cracked tile, a missing lining or a mismatched appliance each points to a different next step.
Share the exact wording when you book. We look at the same area and explain whether we agree and why. If the finding points to repairing the existing tile rather than a full liner, we say so and describe that option instead. Where our view differs, we explain the difference in plain terms.

Liner installation answers in River Run
Can a liner go inside the clay tile that is already there?
That depends on space and condition. If the old tile leaves room for the liner and whatever insulation its listing needs, it can usually stay. Broken sections that block the route, or a passage that is too tight, may require removal before installation.
How does the discount after the free inspection work?
When you book the relining no more than 72 hours after your free inspection, a 10% discount applies to the agreed work. The window starts from your own inspection, and the estimate shows the figure before you decide.
Who handles the appliance itself during relining in River Run?
Our work covers the liner, its top parts and the connection agreed in the estimate. If another company installs or services the appliance, we describe exactly where our scope ends so nothing falls between the two jobs.
