More than one flue in the chimney

Second fireplace, furnace or water heater sharing the chimney? A rebuild has to rebuild every one of them, with masonry separating each flue from the next, the way the Florida Building Code requires.

Planning the new chimney around all its flues means setting each liner as the walls go up and topping each with a proper seal at the crown and a cap. If an appliance needs a different liner than it has now, that comes up on the quote. You'll know what each flue will get. Speak with our pros about a multi-flue rebuild in Melrose: (352) 675-6366.

Melrose is a listed service location spanning Alachua, Bradford, Clay and Putnam counties. This does not extend our service area to every address in those counties; confirm your location when booking.

Melrose sits away from Florida's Gulf and Atlantic shoreline. The Gainesville reference point is roughly 18 miles from Melrose as the crow flies.

Local Conditions

Trees close to the chimney

If a tree stands close to your home in Melrose, its limbs can strike the chimney top in wind and loosen courses, and leaves can pile against it and hold water.

Before a rebuild, our specialists note any limbs close to the chimney and suggest trimming them back, so the new top isn't damaged by the same tree. Trimming is a job for a tree service, and we'll say so.

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.

A stainless liner in a rebuilt chimney

Clay tile and listed lining systems are among the options that may suit a rebuilt chimney. The choice depends on the appliance, fuel, condition and approved installation arrangement. A replacement section must connect properly with the lining that remains below it.

Where a listed stainless liner is suitable, its connection and route need to match the appliance instructions and the rebuilt chimney. Other permitted options may also be considered. The estimate should identify the proposed system and explain why it fits the existing construction.

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.

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

Rebuild questions worth asking

Will the rebuilt part match the rest?

Our pros reuse sound bricks from the section coming down and match new ones for size, color and texture. You'll see a sample against the chimney before the new courses go up.

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.
