Cracks and gaps inside the firebox

Looking into the fireplace and seeing cracked firebrick or open mortar joints at the back? The firebox takes the most heat of any part of the chimney, and gaps there let heat reach brick and framing that weren't built for it.

Firebrick and refractory mortar made for that heat are what go back in, from a few reset joints to a full row of replaced brick. Hairline surface cracks are sometimes fine, and you'll hear which ones matter before any work is priced. Talk to a local specialist about firebox repair at your home in Alachua by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Alachua lies inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park lies a short way from Alachua.

Local Conditions

Timing repairs with a new roof

Replacing the roof on a home in Alachua? That's the best moment to repair the chimney too. Masonry and crown work should be finished before the new flashing and roof covering go on. Our specialists coordinate with your roofer, handle the chimney side, and make sure the new flashing seals against sound mortar rather than old joints about to fail.

Why a chimney starts to lean

All that brick needs a solid base. Under the Florida Building Code, the base under a chimney is a concrete or solid-masonry pad no thinner than 12 inches, reaching 6 inches or more beyond the chimney all the way around.

When the soil under that footing settles, or the footing was too small to begin with, the whole chimney tilts away from the house. A lean that starts above the roofline points to loose masonry there instead. Our pros check both, measure any gap at the wall, and tell you which it is, because the repair for each is very different. Marking the gap and checking it again over a few weeks shows if it's still moving.

Following an orange streak back up the chimney

Every rust streak on a chimney starts at a piece of metal. It might be a galvanized cap whose coating has worn through, a steel chase top holding water, the damper plate inside, or steel reinforcing in an old crown.

Our specialists follow the streak up to where it begins and check that metal for rust holes and loose fasteners. Replacing the source with a stainless part is the lasting fix; cleaning the stain without it only buys time. If crown steel is rusting, the crown itself is cracking around it, and that repair is priced on its own line. Rust left alone keeps staining and keeps spreading.

Resealing flashing or replacing it

Flashing that has lifted at an edge or lost its sealant can sometimes be refastened and resealed. That's a small repair, and it's worth doing when the metal itself is sound.

Metal that's rusted through, bent, cut too short or tucked behind shingles the wrong way needs replacing, and patching it only delays the leak. Our specialists check the metal on all four sides before recommending one or the other. Resealing and replacement are priced separately on the quote, with the reasons for the one we recommend. Where the roofing around the chimney has failed too, the quote names the roofer's part.

FAQs

Planning a chimney repair

Can small repairs be done on the same visit?

In many cases, yes. Small jobs like resealing flashing or refastening a cap can be done during the inspection visit if you approve the price on the spot. Bigger repairs are scheduled so the right materials come along.

Will the new mortar and brick match?

Our pros match the brick's size before anything else, then its color and texture, and they match the mortar color and joint profile as well. You'll see a sample before any replacement brick goes in.
