How Our Crew Handles Chimney Rebuilds in Riverview
Approve a rebuild within 72 hours of the free inspection and it is 10% off. Here is how our crew plans one.
Partial rebuild or full rebuild
Most rebuilds are partial. The top of the chimney, above the roof, takes the weather and fails first, while the lower stack often remains sound and can carry new brick.
A full rebuild, down to the foundation, becomes the answer when damage, movement or poor original construction runs the length of the chimney. It is a much bigger project and it changes the flue, the footing and the interior work too.
We explain which one your chimney needs and why, with the evidence behind the recommendation.
Choosing brick for an exposed chimney
A chimney is exposed to the weather on every side, so the brick has to be durable. BIA's chimney guidance calls for face brick of the severe-weathering grade, Grade SW, under ASTM C216 or C62.
Softer brick salvaged from interior walls or bought for looks alone may not stand up to that exposure. Matching color matters, but durability comes first. Brick that looks right but soaks up water quickly will not last long at the top of a chimney.
We source brick that meets the grade and comes as close as possible to your existing chimney, and show you a sample before ordering.
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.
Protecting the chimney between stages
A rebuild can take more than one visit. Between stages, the open top of the chimney is covered, loose materials are secured and the fireplace below is kept out of use.
Temporary protection, finished masonry and permission to use the fireplace are three separate milestones. Knowing which one has been reached avoids mistakes. A secured cover over the open flue keeps rain out of the fireplace below between visits.
Our crew tells you at the end of each visit where the work stands and what is safe to use.
