A new crown, cap and flashing on top

The top is where a rebuilt chimney proves itself. Every rebuild our pros do finishes with a proper crown: sloped, overhanging the brick with a drip, and with a flexible seal around each flue tile, the way the Florida Building Code describes.

A cap sized to the flue goes on next to keep rain and animals out, and new flashing is set into the rebuilt brick at the roof line. Old flashing isn't reused. All of that is part of the rebuild price, listed line by line. Reserve a rebuild with a top built to last in Bronson at (352) 675-6366.

The 2020 Census put the population of Bronson at 1,140. Bronson lies inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

Local Conditions

Storm damage to the top courses

A strong storm can reach well inland and take the top courses off a chimney in Bronson, especially one whose mortar was already weak. Falling limbs can do the same. Our pros cover the damaged top to keep rain out, then build back up from solid brick with a new crown, cap and flashing, each with a written price. If rain is on the way, the cover goes on the same day.

The footing under a full rebuild

A masonry chimney is heavy, and it sits on its own footing. The Florida Building Code has that footing made of concrete or solid masonry no less than 12 inches thick, projecting 6 inches or more beyond the chimney on all sides.

If the lean starts at the ground, the footing is the first thing our specialists look at. Undersized, cracked or settled footings are why some chimneys fail from the base. On a full rebuild, the footing is checked and, where needed, replaced before any new masonry goes on it. That part of the job is priced separately. The footing's condition goes on your quote with a note of what was seen.

Building the new walls

The new chimney walls are laid with solid brick, or hollow units grouted solid, to at least the 4-inch nominal thickness the Florida Building Code requires around the flue. Every joint is filled full, with no voids for heat or water to travel through.

Our specialists lay each course level and plumb, check the chimney stays square as it rises, and tool the joints as they go. The mortar is mixed to a type chosen for your brick and the exposure, and it's kept consistent from the first course to the last so the whole rebuilt section cures evenly. The mortar type is named on your quote.

New flashing on the rebuilt chimney

Old flashing doesn't go back on a rebuilt chimney. It's bent from coming off, sized for the old brick, and in many cases rusted or glued on instead of set into the mortar.

New base and step flashing go in with the roofing, and new counter flashing is set into the fresh mortar joints of the rebuilt masonry, lapping over the base pieces. Where the roof covering itself needs work around the chimney, a roofer handles that part and the quote says so. Getting the flashing right is what keeps the new chimney from leaking at the roof line. The flashing metal is named on the quote.

FAQs

Rebuild or repair, and other questions

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.

Can you coordinate with my roofing company?

We can. Our specialists rebuild the chimney and set the counter flashing, and a roofer handles the roof covering. The quote splits the work and we coordinate the timing.
