How Our Crew Handles Chimney Rebuilds in East Tampa
Approve a rebuild within 72 hours of the free inspection and it is 10% off. Here is how our crew plans one.
Mortar for new chimney brickwork
BIA recommends Type N portland cement-lime mortar for chimneys, and accepts Type S where wind or other sideways forces on the stack are high.
The general rule in BIA's mortar note points the same way, toward the weakest mortar type that still does the job. Stronger is not automatically better. Mixing is done by measured volume on site so each batch matches the last, which keeps the color and strength even across the new section.
For your rebuild, the pick between N and S depends on height, exposure and brick, and the estimate names it.
Permits for chimney rebuilding
The Florida Building Code requires anyone who intends to construct, alter, repair or demolish a regulated building or structure to obtain the required permit from the building official first. The code also lists work that is exempt.
Rebuilding a chimney is structural masonry work, so whether and how that rule applies is settled with the building department for your address before the rebuild starts. Where a permit applies, inspections by the building department become part of the schedule as well.
Our crew tells you what applies to your job and builds the timing into the schedule.
Rebuilding after a chimney fire
If the chimney is on fire, get everyone out of the house and call 911 once you are outside. Nothing should be done to the chimney until emergency responders say it is safe.
A flue fire can damage tiles and masonry in ways that are hard to see from the ground. The chimney stays out of use until it has been inspected from top to bottom.
Once responders are done, our crew inspects the chimney and explains whether it needs repair, relining or rebuilding.
Scaffolding, debris and the yard during a rebuild
Rebuilding means lowering old brick and raising new material safely. Depending on the roof and the chimney height, that may mean roof anchors, ladders or scaffolding.
Let us know about side access, gates, pools, garden beds or a shared driveway. We plan a route and protect roofing, gutters and landscaping along it. Work areas are left tidy and safe at the end of each day, with loose material secured.
Old brick, mortar and packaging are removed when the work is done, and the roof is checked for debris.
