The Work Behind a Sound Chimney
Every repair we make in Lake Magdalene is explained first and backed by our workmanship warranty.
Why the concrete top of a chimney matters
Under Florida's residential code, the top of a masonry chimney gets a cap of concrete, metal or stone, finished with a drip edge, and the joint where the flue liner passes through it is sealed with a caulked bond break. That slab keeps rain off the brickwork below and lets the liner move with heat without cracking the concrete around it.
When the crown is cracked, or was built flat with no overhang, water goes straight into the masonry. Our pros tell you whether the cracks can be sealed or the crown has to be rebuilt, and that work shows up on your Lake Magdalene estimate as a separate line, so its price is never buried inside a bigger number.
Smoke chamber repair above the damper
Above the damper, the fireplace narrows through a sloped section called the smoke chamber before the flue begins. Florida's code calls for its inside surface to be parged smooth with refractory mortar, because a rough, stepped surface collects deposits and disturbs the path of the smoke.
Gaps and bare brick in the chamber are usually found only when the damper is opened and the area is lit and examined from below. We explain whether smoothing it with a heat-rated parge coat is the right repair for your fireplace in Lake Magdalene, and price it separately.
Why surface patches keep failing
Caulk over a crown crack, roofing cement on flashing and a skim of mortar across open joints all look like repairs from the ground. Each one covers the defect without fixing what caused it, and when the patch starts to fail it can trap water behind it.
We remove failed patches where they hide damage and repair the material underneath. You see what we found on your Lake Magdalene chimney and what the proper repair involves, with the price agreed before anything is done.
Chimneys that vent a furnace or water heater
Some masonry chimneys serve an appliance besides the fireplace, such as a furnace or a water heater. Each flue has to suit what is connected to it, and a flue built for one use may not suit another after an appliance is changed.
If your chimney vents more than the fireplace, tell us when you book. We make sure the repair plan accounts for every flue in the stack, and anything outside our scope is named clearly so the right trade can take it on in your Lake Magdalene home.
