Tile Relining can be done in very short (6' or less) flues that are straight. Relining is necessary when the existing tile liner is damaged by a flue fire, lightning strike or other reason, or when mortar joints are missing between each two-foot liner section. The process involves erection of scaffold, removal of the cement crown (cap), removal of the tile liner sections, insertion of new tile liners and rebuilding of the crown. If necessary, we will remove a section of bricks or stone in the rear of the chimney in order to gain access to the bottom flue tile. We use a tile inserter/Remover tool that Gene invented and built to help in this process. Note: longer flues or flues with offsets require tear down and rebuilding of the entire chimney chase in order to reline with tile because the NFPA 211 Standards require that tile be installed ahead of the chase. We use steel or Guardian liners in these cases. Tile liners are
made for normal fireplace use, and should never be
used with a wood stove or insert. |
