Getting several repairs done in one visit

Found more than one thing wrong? Doing the repairs together saves time on ladders, setup and cleanup, and the parts depend on each other anyway. It also means one set of tarps and one cleanup at the end. A new cap on a cracked crown won't sit right, and fresh flashing against crumbling mortar won't seal for long.

Planning the work so each repair supports the next means masonry first, then the crown, then the cap and flashing. You'll see the combined plan with each item priced separately, so you can still pick and choose. Reserve a combined chimney repair visit in Earleton by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Pressure washing and brick

High-pressure water on a chimney in Earleton can blast mortar out of the joints and scar the brick faces. The Brick Industry Association advises checking with the brick maker before pressurized water cleaning.

If the brick needs cleaning, our specialists use gentler methods, and if pressure washing has already damaged the joints, they'll repoint the affected section and match the mortar color.

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.

Heat-rated brick and mortar for firebox repairs

The firebox lining has its own materials. The Florida Building Code calls for firebrick to recognized standards laid in medium-duty refractory mortar, with joints no thicker than a quarter inch, because ordinary mortar breaks down in that heat.

Those are the materials a firebox repair uses. Open joints get cleared out and packed with refractory mortar; cracked or crumbling firebrick is cut out and replaced. A full rebuild of the firebox walls is priced separately, and you'll see why it's needed before you decide. Repairs cure before the fireplace is used again, and you'll hear exactly how long. The firebox is left swept and clean, ready for that first small fire.

When the old damper can't be saved

A throat damper that's rusted through or warped out of shape can sometimes be fitted with a new plate. When the frame is gone too, the better fix sits at the other end of the chimney.

Mounted on the flue at the chimney top, a sealing damper has a lid that seals against a gasket and a cable that hangs down the flue to a handle mounted in the firebox. Closed, it keeps out rain, animals and outside air. Our specialists fit it to your flue size and show you how it works, and it's priced alongside the plate repair so you can compare.
