How we install chimney liners in Crystal Point

Local specialists and upfront prices on every relining in Crystal Point, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Tees and cleanout access

Where an appliance connects to a liner from the side, a tee joins the two, and a tee cap at the bottom gives access for cleaning. One maker's instructions describe removing soot through the tee branch.

We place the tee where both the connection and future cleaning can be reached. The cleaning method that suits the liner is explained at completion, so future sweeps do not damage the system. A tee that is hard to reach tends to be skipped at cleaning time, so access is part of the plan from the start.

Connecting the liner to the appliance

The bottom connection joins the liner to the appliance outlet through an adapter, a connector or an insert collar. The appliance's instructions and the code in force set the clearances and the parts that may be used there.

We plan this connection before the liner is ordered, since it can decide the liner size and the parts needed. Moving an appliance for access is planned with protection for the floor and the hearth. The connection is the part of the system you see every day, so it is finished neatly and left accessible for inspection.

Clearing the flue before relining

Nests and debris in the flue have to be removed before a liner can pass. Some birds that nest in chimneys are protected under federal migratory bird law, which affects when an active nest may be disturbed.

We identify what is in the flue and plan the relining date around it. Once the liner and its cap are in place, animals no longer have an open path into the chimney. A nest found during the inspection does not end the project, it simply sets the timing.

Checking the draft after installation

Once the liner is connected, the appliance is operated as its instructions allow and the draft is observed at the connection. A liner sized and installed correctly should carry the exhaust up and out.

If the appliance itself shows a problem unrelated to the liner, we tell you and explain who services that model. The relining is finished only when the system works as installed. You see the connection and the top of the system before the job is signed off.
