Chimney Rebuilds From a Local Family Crew

Rebuild inspections are often available the same day you call, and they cost nothing.

Choosing between clay flue tile and a listed liner

The state code accepts four kinds of lining, namely clay flue tile, a UL 1777 listed lining system, a listed factory-built chimney unit made to sit inside masonry, or another approved material.

In a partial rebuild, the new section usually continues the lining that remains below. When the old lining is damaged along its length, a listed metal liner run from top to bottom can be the better choice.

We explain which lining suits your chimney and your appliance, and price the flue work as its own line.

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.

Making the rebuilt top match the chimney below

A rebuilt section sits on top of the old brick, so the join is visible from the street. Brick size, color, texture and mortar color all affect how well it blends.

BIA advises using mock-ups or sample panels when choosing brick to match existing work. Even a good match looks newer until it weathers. Where the chimney is seen from the street, the finish is agreed before any brick is ordered.

We show you brick and mortar samples next to your chimney and agree the choice before ordering.

Details that help before the rebuild inspection

Before the visit, tell us what you have seen, such as fallen brick, a lean, a gap at the wall or water inside, and roughly when it started.

Mention earlier repairs, planned roofing work and how the fireplace is used. If an engineer or home inspector has already looked at the chimney, their notes help. A short description of what changed and when is enough to start.

There is nothing to measure or climb. Our crew handles access and measurements on the free visit.
