The chimney top broke in a storm

Wind or a falling limb can crack a chimney top, knock off courses of brick or twist the crown off the masonry. After a strong storm, a damaged top can let rain pour into the chimney and the house.

First the damaged top gets covered to keep the rain out, then our pros check how far the damage runs and plan the rebuild. The new section goes back with matched brick, a lined flue, a new crown and cap, and fresh flashing. The temporary cover and the rebuild are priced separately.

Local Conditions

Chimneys that were built short

Built short, or left short when the roof was raised around it, a chimney draws poorly and can drop sparks on the roof.

A rebuilt top has to meet the building code's height rule, so our specialists measure it first. Your quote shows what reaching that height takes and who does that part of the work.

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.

Setting the flue liner as the chimney rises

In a rebuilt masonry chimney, clay flue tiles go in as the walls go up. The Florida Building Code has them set in medium-duty refractory mortar that won't dissolve in water, with tight joints struck smooth inside, and with a space around them so the tiles can expand without pushing on the brick.

Our pros set each tile, check it's aligned with the one below, and keep mortar from filling the gap between the liner and the walls. A liner set carelessly, with rough joints or mortar packed around it, cracks early. The liner is priced on its own line.

What the building department may ask for

Rebuilding a chimney counts as construction, so Florida's permit rules apply, and your county or city building office decides the specifics, reviews the plans where it asks for them, and inspects the work.

Before approving the estimate, establish who is responsible for the application, which inspection stages are expected and which charges are included. A smaller repair may be treated differently from a rebuild. The responsible department's requirements should guide the work sequence and any expected waiting time.

FAQs

Rebuild answers for homes in Evinston

Do I need a permit for a chimney rebuild?

Generally yes, since the Florida Building Code requires one for this kind of work; your local building department sets the details and inspects. The quote says who pulls the permit and whether the fee is included.

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.
