This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who already have a DuraFlex liner or DuraFlex chimney components and need repairs done right. Not every chimney company knows the difference between DuraFlex’s 316L and AL29-4C stainless lineups, and that matters when it comes to repair decisions. We do.

How DuraFlex Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Corrosion pitting on DuraFlex 316L liners in salt-heavy air. Fort Lauderdale’s humidity and salt breeze accelerate pitting on 316L stainless, especially on liners serving oil or coal appliances that should have used AL29-4C. We see this all the time in homes along Las Olas and Victoria Park. The fix is section replacement with the correct alloy, not a patch job that fails again in two years.
• Sagging or separated flex sections on uninsulated DuraFlex runs. DuraFlex flexible liners can develop a slight sag or joint separation when the original installer skipped insulation or didn’t secure the support at the top plate. The symptom is a rattling sound inside the chimney when the wind picks up. We pull the affected section, realign the run, and re-secure with proper top-plate hardware.
• Failed connector bands at the appliance outlet. The single-wall connector sections on DuraFlex systems often fail at the thinnest point: the crimped end where the liner meets the stove or insert. Homeowners in Fort Lauderdale frequently mistake the flaking metal there for a liner problem. It’s usually a $75 to $150 connector replacement, not a full reline.
• Improper adapters between DuraFlex and older clay tile flues. When a DuraFlex liner was retrofitted into an existing clay tile chimney, the transition piece between the stainless liner and the old clay throat is a known weak spot. Water gets in at that transition, drips down, and shows up as staining on the firebox wall. We replace the adapter, seal the transition properly, and water-stop the top.
• Cracked crowns letting water behind the liner. DuraFlex liners themselves rarely fail structurally in Fort Lauderdale. What fails is what surrounds them: the masonry crown. A cracked crown lets water run down the outside of the liner, corroding the liner from the outside in. The fix is crown repair or replacement with proper overhang and a flexible sealant, then evaluating whether the liner needs section work.

Our DuraFlex Chimney Repair Process

Here’s how a DuraFlex repair job runs when you call Flint Chimney Co Fort Lauderdale:

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. (754) 354-1430. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You tell us what you’re seeing and we give you a ballpark range before we ever roll a truck.
2. 2
   We inspect the whole system. We don’t just look at the DuraFlex section you think is the problem. We camera-inspect the full liner run, check the crown, the flashing, the appliance connection, and the chase top. You see the camera feed and the photos.
3. 3
   Written price before any work. We put the scope and the dollar amount on paper. The number you approve is the number you pay. No surprises at the end.
4. 4
   Parts decision, stated plainly. If a DuraFlex section needs replacing, we tell you whether we’re using a DuraFlex OEM section or a quality aftermarket equivalent, and why. We don’t substitute cheap alloy without telling you.
5. 5
   The repair, done clean. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed. We drop cloths, we bag debris, and we leave the firebox cleaner than we found it.
6. 6
   Test, document, guarantee. We fire-test the system where applicable, document the repair with photos, and hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. One full year, every repair, in writing.

• Connector section replacement: $150 to $350

• Chase-top and flashing repair around a DuraFlex system: $375 to $850
