Chimney liner installation in Hallandale Beach
Relining usually comes up for one of two reasons. An inspection finds the existing liner damaged, or a new or different appliance is being connected to the chimney.
Either way, the flue should be looked at properly first. NFPA 211 calls for a Level II inspection before relining, which includes a look inside the flue by video camera or similar means.
A liner runs the full height of the flue. In a condominium, that flue may pass through shared parts of the building, and responsibility for it depends on the declaration and how the building is laid out. Talk to your association before arranging any relining. Some repair or installation work may require a permit depending on the scope of work and local building requirements.
Reline, repair or leave it?
Not every flue problem means a new liner. The inspection decides.
Chimney liner questions
Why is an inspection needed before relining?
NFPA 211 calls for a Level II inspection before a flue is relined or its lining replaced, so the condition of the whole flue is known before the work starts.
What does UL 1777 mean?
UL 1777 is the standard that manufactured chimney liner systems are tested and listed to. The Florida Building Code allows listed liner systems that meet it.
Does liner installation need a permit?
