When patching stops making sense

Had the same chimney patched two or three times and it keeps failing? At some point, the mortar through the whole wall has lost its grip, the bricks are loose deep into the chimney, and every patch just holds for a season. That's when rebuilding the damaged section can make more sense than patching it again.

How far down the damage goes sets the scope, and you'll see a rebuild priced next to the best repair still available, so you can compare them fairly. You'll see why our pros recommend one over the other, with the reasons noted on the quote. Chat with a local pro about rebuilding your chimney in Micanopy by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Matching the brick on a rebuilt top

Brick varies a lot from one chimney to the next, and a rebuilt top in Micanopy has to blend with the lower chimney and the house. Our pros salvage what they can, match new brick for size first, then color and texture, and show you a sample against the chimney before the new courses go up. The blend is checked in daylight before it's approved.

Rebuilding only the top section

On many failing chimneys, the damage stops near the roofline. The part above the roof takes wind, rain and sun on every side, while the part below is sheltered by the house.

A top-section rebuild takes the exposed part down to sound masonry, sometimes just below the roof deck or at the roofline, and rebuilds it with fresh mortar and matched brick. It comes with a new crown, cap and flashing. It's a fraction of the work of a full rebuild and it deals with the part that actually failed. Our pros confirm the lower section is sound before recommending it.

The footing under a full rebuild

A masonry chimney is heavy, and it sits on its own footing. The Florida Building Code has that footing made of concrete or solid masonry no less than 12 inches thick, projecting 6 inches or more beyond the chimney on all sides.

If the lean starts at the ground, the footing is the first thing our specialists look at. Undersized, cracked or settled footings are why some chimneys fail from the base. On a full rebuild, the footing is checked and, where needed, replaced before any new masonry goes on it. That part of the job is priced separately. The footing's condition goes on your quote with a note of what was seen.

Taking a chimney down safely

Demolition is where a rebuild can damage a house if it's rushed. Boards and coverings go down on the roof around the chimney, safe footing is set up, and the masonry comes down by hand, course by course.

Brick and debris come down in bags or a chute to a tarp below, rather than being thrown off the roof. The flue is covered so debris doesn't fall into the firebox. The fireplace opening inside is sealed. Each day ends with the open chimney covered against rain. It's slower than knocking it down, and it keeps the job clean and safe. Debris is hauled away as it comes down, so it doesn't pile up in the yard.
