Is your chimney leaning?

Noticed a gap opening between the chimney and the wall, or a lean you can see from the street? That's a job to look at soon. A chimney is heavy, and when its footing settles or the masonry above the roof loosens, it starts to tilt.

Base, house connection and the brick above the roofline all get looked at, and you'll hear if this is a top-section rebuild, a footing issue or something to monitor. Until it's assessed, keep the fireplace cold and keep people clear of the side it's leaning toward. Reserve an urgent look at the leaning chimney in Waldo: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Sun and sealant on the chimney top

Sealants and coatings on a chimney top face full sun as well as rain. Over the years, sunlight breaks them down, and a joint that sealed well starts to open along its edges.

When our specialists repair a chimney in Waldo, they check every sealed joint, from the flashing to the flue tile at the crown, and replace any sealant that has dried out or pulled loose.

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.

Reading white stains on brick

White, powdery deposits on a chimney are salts that water dissolved inside the masonry and dropped at the face as it evaporated. The Brick Industry Association describes three things that have to come together for it: soluble salts, enough water sitting in the wall to take them into solution, and pores that lead out to the face.

Take away the water and the staining stops returning. Our pros use where the white appears to trace the water back: just under the crown points to the crown or cap, low on the chimney to the flashing or a gutter. Fix the source, brush the salts off, and the brick dries out.

Getting replacement brick to blend in

Brick varies in size, color and texture from one batch to the next, and a chimney has weathered for years. A new brick straight from the yard can stand out badly against old ones.

Size comes first in the match, since a brick that's the wrong height throws off every joint around it. Color and texture come next, from salvaged brick where possible. Mortar color is matched too, and joints are tooled to the same profile as the existing ones. You'll see a sample before the work begins, set against the old brick in daylight so the match is judged fairly.

FAQs

Planning a chimney repair

Is it safe to light fires before the repair?

It depends on what's wrong. Cracked flue tiles, open firebox joints or signs of a past chimney fire mean no fires until it's fixed. Some outside repairs, like a worn cap or recessed joints, don't stop you using it, and our pros will tell you which is which.

What stands behind a chimney repair?

Each repair comes with our workmanship warranty, and the quote describes the work it applies to. If something we fixed isn't right, we'll come back and look at it.
