Rebuilding a chimney that's gone cold

Haven't used the fireplace in years, and now the chimney is crumbling? A chimney standing above the roof still needs to be sound, used or not, since loose masonry can fall and a failed top lets water into the house.

Our pros rebuild the damaged section so it's safe and watertight, and they'll ask if you want the flue ready for fires again or simply sealed and capped. Each choice changes the scope a little, and both are priced. Either way, the loose masonry comes down before it can fall. Talk to our rebuild specialists about the unused chimney in Manatee Road by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Idle chimneys still need rebuilding

Years without a fire don't shield a chimney in Manatee Road from the weather, and its top can crumble just the same. Loose masonry above the roof is a hazard whether it's used or not. Our specialists rebuild it sound and watertight, capped and sealed, and talk through what it would take to use it again later.

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.

Does the rebuilt chimney need a cricket?

The uphill roof connection is part of planning a wide chimney rebuild. Its dimensions and position affect whether a cricket is required. Any new cricket, flashing or adjoining roof repair needs its own scope and a clear connection to the completed masonry.

If your chimney qualifies and has no cricket, a rebuild is a sensible time to add one, since the flashing is being redone anyway and the roofing around the chimney is already disturbed. Our specialists tell you whether yours qualifies on the free inspection, and your quote says who frames and roofs the cricket.

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.

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

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 paperwork comes with a rebuild?

Your quote records what came down, what went back up and the materials used, and our workmanship warranty covers the rebuilt section. Keep it with your house papers, since it's useful if you sell. Ask about a rebuild in Manatee Road at (352) 675-6366.
