When patching stops making sense

Had the same chimney patched two or three times and it keeps failing? At some point, the mortar through the whole wall has lost its grip, the bricks are loose deep into the chimney, and every patch just holds for a season. That's when rebuilding the damaged section can make more sense than patching it again.

How far down the damage goes sets the scope, and you'll see a rebuild priced next to the best repair still available, so you can compare them fairly. You'll see why our pros recommend one over the other, with the reasons noted on the quote. Chat with a local pro about rebuilding your chimney in Alachua by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Alachua sits away from Florida's Gulf and Atlantic shoreline. Alachua has San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park nearby.

Local Conditions

Chimneys shared with a furnace flue

A chimney in Alachua that vents a furnace or water heater along with a fireplace needs a rebuild that carries every flue, with masonry between them and each lined for its appliance. Our specialists plan the flues together and set each liner as the walls rise, so exhaust from one can't cross into another. Each flue's liner is priced on its own line.

Our Process

Four stages of a rebuild

Find the sound line

Course by course, the chimney is checked to see how much has to come down, and that's priced.
Protect and take down

Roof and yard are protected, and the failed masonry comes down by hand.
Rebuild with liner

New courses rise with matched brick, with liners set as they go.
Top it off and flash it

A new crown, cap and flashing finish the chimney, with curing time written out.

How far a chimney can step out

A chimney that steps outward from a wall needs support appropriate to that design. Corbeling has limits, and the supporting wall or foundation matters as well as the projecting brickwork. Movement or uncertain support calls for assessment before the upper section is rebuilt.

A rebuilt corbeled section stays inside those limits. On older chimneys that stepped out further, the rebuild is an opportunity to bring the shape back within the code, and the quote explains what changes. Where the old shape can't be kept inside the rules, you'll see the new profile drawn on the quote before work starts.

A stainless liner in a rebuilt chimney

Clay tile and listed lining systems are among the options that may suit a rebuilt chimney. The choice depends on the appliance, fuel, condition and approved installation arrangement. A replacement section must connect properly with the lining that remains below it.

Where a listed stainless liner is suitable, its connection and route need to match the appliance instructions and the rebuilt chimney. Other permitted options may also be considered. The estimate should identify the proposed system and explain why it fits the existing construction.

Choosing the mortar for new masonry

Mortar for a rebuild is chosen with the same care as for repointing. ASTM C270 defines the mortar types, and the Brick Industry Association advises choosing the weakest type that still meets the job's needs, since a softer mortar lets the wall move and breathe without cracking the brick.

For an exposed chimney top, that points to one of the general-purpose types rather than the strongest available. Our specialists match the choice to your brick, especially when old brick is being reused, and the type is named on your quote. Reused brick, in particular, needs a mortar no harder than itself, or the old faces will crack.

FAQs

Rebuild questions worth asking

Is a new liner part of the rebuild?

Where the liner is cracked or missing, yes, and it gets its own price. Clay tile can be set as the walls rise, or a stainless liner listed for your appliance can be fitted.

What happens to the old brick and debris?

Sound bricks may be cleaned and reused. Everything else comes down in bags or a chute and is hauled away. The roof, gutters and yard are cleaned at the end.
