Bringing the chimney up to height

Does the fireplace smoke when the wind blows from a certain direction? A chimney that's too short for the roof around it draws poorly. The Florida Building Code wants a chimney to stand 3 feet or more over its roof opening, and to rise 2 feet above any part of the house inside a 10-foot radius.

A rebuild is the time to fix that. Our specialists measure the chimney against those rules and, where it falls short, rebuild it taller. You'll see the measurements and what the added height costs before deciding. Reserve a rebuild that brings your chimney up to height in Earleton at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Water from gutters and sprinklers

A gutter that overflows onto a chimney in Earleton, or a sprinkler that soaks its base, keeps parts of the masonry wet and wears them out faster than the rest.

Before a rebuild, our specialists point out any water sources like that, since the new masonry deserves a drier life than the old one had. Fixing the water source protects the new work.

Our Process

Down to sound brick, then back up

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.

Air space and fireblocking in a rebuild

A rebuild must keep the required separation between the chimney and combustible framing. The construction type and applicable exceptions determine the detail. Our pros discuss concealed areas that need closer examination before surrounding finishes are replaced.

Where the chimney passes floors and ceilings, the gap is fireblocked with noncombustible material. On a full rebuild, our pros build those clearances in and fireblock at each level. On a top-section rebuild, they check the attic and roof framing around the chimney and correct anything touching it before the new masonry goes up. Anything touching the masonry is noted with how it will be corrected.

Rebuilding in step with a new roof

Rebuild work and a new roof go best together. The roofers need the chimney sound and its crown finished before they flash around it, and our pros need the roof open to rebuild at the roofline.

Our pros schedule the rebuild so the masonry and crown are done, and the counter flashing set into the new brick, when the roofers reach the chimney. The base and step flashing go in with the new roofing. The quote splits the work clearly, and our specialists talk with your roofer so nothing is missed between the two jobs. That conversation happens before either job starts.

FAQs

Chimney rebuilds, briefly answered

Does the whole chimney have to come down?

Not necessarily. The damage can stop at the roofline, with the lower chimney still sound. Our specialists check course by course to find sound masonry, and that line sets the scope.

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.
