Removal Line, Brick, Flue and Crown, in That Order
A free inspection marks where sound masonry begins, and the rebuild is priced from that line.
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.
Rebuilding a chimney that bends
Some chimneys step sideways on their way up. For a fireclay-lined chimney built one wythe thick, the code limits that offset unless masonry underneath carries it in an approved manner.
Inside, clay flue lining is limited to a lean of 30 degrees off plumb, which caps how sharply the chimney can bend. Offsets are measured before any brick comes down, so the rebuilt bend follows the same rules.
When a rebuild involves an offset, we explain how it will be supported and how the flue will follow it.
Permits for chimney rebuilding
The Florida Building Code requires anyone who intends to construct, alter, repair or demolish a regulated building or structure to obtain the required permit from the building official first. The code also lists work that is exempt.
Rebuilding a chimney is structural masonry work, so whether and how that rule applies is settled with the building department for your address before the rebuild starts. Where a permit applies, inspections by the building department become part of the schedule as well.
Our crew tells you what applies to your job and builds the timing into the schedule.
