A new liner as part of the rebuild

Taking a chimney down exposes the flue liner inside it, and that's the right moment to replace it if it's cracked or missing. Clay tile can be set as the new chimney goes up, or a stainless liner listed for the appliance can be fitted through the rebuilt section.

Which one suits your fireplace, insert or furnace is explained up front, following the Florida Building Code's rules for how liners are set. The liner has its own price on the rebuild quote. Doing it now saves relining a new chimney later. Speak with our specialists about the flue in your rebuild in Cedar Key at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Metal on a rebuilt coastal chimney

A rebuilt chimney in Cedar Key carries a lot of metal at the top: the cap, flashing, anchors and any reinforcement. Standard galvanized parts don't last long near salt water. Our pros specify stainless or copper for exposed parts and stainless anchors, matched so dissimilar metals don't corrode each other where they touch. The metals are named on your quote. Each metal choice has its own price 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.

When the rebuild goes to the ground

Sometimes the whole chimney has to come down. A failing footing, a chimney leaning from its base, or masonry that's crumbling all the way down leaves no sound section to build on.

A full rebuild means taking the chimney down course by course, checking or replacing the footing, and building the new chimney up with its liner, clearances and fireblocking to the Florida Building Code. It's the biggest job our pros take on, and it's planned carefully with you, from the permit to the protection of your house and yard. You'll see every stage priced. The footing work alone can be a separate stage on the schedule.

Joints tooled to keep water out

How the joints are finished changes how the new chimney handles rain. The Brick Industry Association's guidance on water penetration favors concave, V and similar tooled joints, which compact the mortar surface and shed water.

Our pros tool every joint of the rebuilt section at the right moment, when the mortar is firm enough to hold the shape. Raked or struck joints that leave a ledge for water aren't used on chimney tops. Where the lower chimney has a particular joint style, the new work is tooled to match it as closely as a water-shedding profile allows. Well-tooled joints are one of the reasons a rebuilt top outlasts the one it replaced.

Salvaging and matching brick

The best match for your chimney's brick can be your chimney's brick. As the damaged section comes down, sound bricks are set aside, cleaned of old mortar and checked for cracks and flaking.

Our specialists reuse the good ones on the most visible faces and fill in with salvaged or new brick matched in size, color and texture. Bricks that have spalled or soaked through aren't reused, since they'd fail again. You'll see how the blend looks against the lower chimney before the rebuild goes up. The count of new brick needed is on the quote. Salvage keeps the look consistent and cuts down on waste.

FAQs

Rebuild questions worth asking

Can I stay in the house during the rebuild?

Yes. Most of the work is on the roof and outside. The fireplace stays out of use until the new masonry and crown have cured, and our pros keep a safe zone below the chimney.

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.
