The Details Behind a Rebuilt Chimney That Lasts
You see the removal line, the materials and the finished height before work starts.
Rebuilding a chimney that carries two flues
Chimneys with more than one flue get a masonry partition, called a wythe, between each pair. In a rebuild it goes back at least 4 inches thick and built into the chimney walls, as the state code requires. A cracked or missing partition lets smoke from one flue find its way into the other.
There is an exception for two flues venting a single appliance, which may sit side by side with their joints staggered at least 4 inches.
Our rebuild crew rebuilds each partition to the rule and keeps every flue separate from bottom to top of the new section.
Corbeling limits in a rebuilt chimney
Corbeling is stepping brick courses out beyond the ones below. Overall, the code lets a chimney corbel out from a wall or foundation by no more than half the chimney's wall thickness.
For a single course, the allowed step is the smaller of two measures, one half the unit's height or one third of its depth into the wall. Rebuilding is the moment to correct a profile that never met those limits.
Decorative bands and caps on older chimneys often break those limits, so a rebuild may bring the profile back within them.
Tying the rebuilt chimney to the house
A chimney built against an outside wall is held to it with ties. On single-wythe chimneys, BIA's details space corrosion-resistant metal ties no more than 24 inches apart.
A rebuild replaces ties that were lost with the old brick, and adds them where they were missing. Ties are set into the mortar joints as the courses rise, so they become part of the wall rather than an afterthought.
Our crew sets new ties as the courses go up and checks that the rebuilt section is anchored to the structure.
