Flexible Chimney Liner Installation in Boerne, TX

This one comes down purely to the liner type, and geometry drives it. Flexible corrugated stainless is for flues with offsets, doglegs, or elbows, or tight and out-of-round clay tile where a rigid liner simply will not feed through, and for running a liner down to the collar of a gas or wood insert around an offset. On a straight, accessible flue, rigid gives you smoother walls and slightly better draft, so flexible is not the default; the bends in your chimney settle it.

It is a subset of it. Relining is the broad decision to replace a flue's liner, and a flexible liner is just one of the materials that decision can land on, the bendable kind you would choose when the flue is crooked or you are venting an insert. Reline a straight flue and it might take rigid or cast-in-place instead. If your chimney has offsets or you are venting an appliance, flexible is usually the answer, and that specific option is what this page covers.

Often, yes, and more so than with rigid, because the corrugation runs a bit cooler and drags on the draft. On wood-burning and many other solid-fuel installs, insulation is required both to meet the listed clearance to combustibles and to hold flue temperatures high enough for good draft and less creosote. It does add cost per foot and eats into flue width, so it is not automatic; the appliance listing and the clearance to nearby framing decide it.

That is precisely what it is listed to do. The corrugated wall bends within the manufacturer's listed radius, so we ease it around offsets and elbows instead of forcing it, since a kinked or torn liner no longer seals. Every bend gets camera-mapped up front, an oval profile goes in where a round one will not clear a tight throat, and positive top-plate and collar connectors get locked down so the whole bent run stays gas-tight end to end.

A properly installed liner in the right grade for your fuel commonly runs 15-20 years or more, often with a manufacturer warranty that is tied to annual sweeping and inspection. Because the flexible corrugation carries more surface area than a smooth rigid wall, burning unseasoned wood, trash, or the wrong fuel for the grade eats it up early and can void that warranty.

At that burn rate, annually — no hedging on this one. A Boerne fireplace running sixty-plus nights builds creosote a light-use city fireplace takes five years to accumulate. The upside: pairing the sweep with the whole-home inspection means the duct, insulation, and dryer checks ride along on the same trip, and you're squared away before the first hard freeze.

Flashing, mainly. Standing-seam roofs common around Kendall County expand and contract with temperature swings, and the chimney-to-roof joint absorbs that stress. Sealants that hold fine on shingles fail here. We inspect that transition on every Hill Country visit, along with the cap — ridgeline lots out here take wind exposure most Texas homes never see.

Probably less than an old farmhouse in town — but new construction carries its own list: flex duct crushed during the build, insulation blown unevenly, dryer vents with too many elbows, prefab flues installed to bare minimums. One inspection either catches those early or hands you a documented clean bill of health, which is genuinely useful for warranty conversations.
