What Goes Into a Sound Chimney Rebuild
Sound brick kept, failed brick replaced, then lined, crowned and flashed. That is every rebuild in Progress Village.
Finding the line where sound masonry begins
Every rebuild starts with one decision: how far down the chimney has to come. The answer is the point where the brick is sound, the joints are hard and the courses are still tied into one another.
That line is found by inspection, not by picking a convenient course. Sometimes it moves lower once the top courses are off and the brick beneath can be seen properly.
Our estimate marks the proposed line and says what happens if the brick below proves weaker than expected, so a change is agreed with you rather than added quietly.
How tall the rebuilt chimney has to be
Height is set by rule. Under Florida's residential code, the rebuilt top must clear its own roof penetration by 3 feet or more and rise at least 2 feet above any part of a building standing within 10 feet.
In BIA's chimney design note, height ranks with flue area as one of the two factors that matter most, since a taller stack pulls harder. A rebuild that ends a course or two short can leave a chimney drafting poorly for no visible reason.
We measure the roof and the surroundings before any rebuild and show the finished height on the estimate.
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.
Fireblocking where a chimney passes floors and ceilings
Gaps where a chimney passes a floor or ceiling are closed with noncombustible fireblocking, fastened firmly, under the state code. Where the gap meets wood joists, the code lets the fireblocking sit on metal strips or lath laid across the space.
A full rebuild that reaches inside the house has to put that fireblocking back. Missing fireblocking lets fire and smoke travel along the chimney between floors. Where missing blocking is spotted beyond the rebuilt section, we point that out as well.
Our crew notes the fireblocking at each level the rebuild reaches and restores it as the chimney goes back up.
