How a Chimney Rebuild Gets Planned in Mango
Family rebuild crew, prices fixed before the first brick comes down, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on the finished stack.
A cap on the rebuilt flue
Rain, leaves and animals all stay out of a capped flue. The code also sets a size rule for rain caps on masonry chimneys, with open area under the cap of four times the flue outlet area or more. A cap chosen for the old flue may be too tight for a new one.
A rebuild is the right time to fit a cap sized to the finished flue, rather than reusing one made for a different opening.
We include a cap on every rebuilt flue and show which one on the estimate.
When a full rebuild reaches the footing
A chimney that is rebuilt from the ground needs a sound footing. Florida's residential code calls for a footing of concrete or solid masonry no less than 12 inches thick that projects 6 inches or more past the chimney's face all round.
Where the ground does not freeze, the code puts the footing at least 12 inches below finished grade. A settling footing is a structural question for an engineer before any rebuild starts.
Full rebuilds are rare, and when one is needed, we explain what happens at the base before quoting the rest.
Coordinating a rebuild with a new roof
A chimney rebuild and a new roof meet at the flashing, so the order matters. Usually the chimney is rebuilt first, then the roofer installs the roofing and base flashing, and the counterflashing ties them together.
Agreeing who installs which part of the flashing avoids a gap nobody owns. If the roof is already new, our crew protects it during the rebuild and resets the flashing without disturbing the roofing around it.
Our crew coordinates directly with your roofer when you want us to, so both jobs finish watertight.
Openings in a full-height rebuild
A chimney rebuilt from the ground may need openings that a top rebuild never touches. Florida's residential code requires appliance inlets to enter from the side through a thimble.
It also requires a cleanout no more than 6 inches above the bottom of every flue, with an exception for masonry fireplace flues that can be cleaned through the fireplace opening. Neither opening is needed on every chimney, and we explain which ones apply to yours.
We plan those openings into a full rebuild so the chimney can be connected and maintained properly.
