Our Approach to Rebuilding Chimneys in Tampa Heights
Sound brick kept, failed brick replaced, then lined, crowned and flashed. That is every rebuild in Tampa Heights.
Rebuilding to the old height is not automatic
Some chimneys were built too short for their roof, or were cut down during earlier repairs. Rebuilding them to the same height repeats the problem.
When the height rule calls for more, the rebuilt section is carried higher. Adding height beyond what the rebuild needs is a separate extension job with its own questions about support and appearance. The height is measured from the roof as it will be after any reroofing, not as it is today.
Our specialists tell you during the inspection whether your chimney's current height meets the rule, so the rebuild can be planned to the right finish line.
Keeping wood framing away from the rebuilt chimney
Wood framing stays 2 inches clear of a masonry chimney that sits indoors or is built into an exterior wall, and 1 inch clear of one standing wholly outside, under the code. Trim and siding edges may butt against the brick only as far from the flue lining as the code allows.
That airspace is not to be filled, except with fireblocking. A rebuild that brings framing or sheathing tight against the new brick undoes the rule.
We check the clearances around the rebuilt section and tell you if any framing needs to be cut back.
What the rebuilt chimney should not carry
A chimney is built to carry itself. The code bars it from supporting other loads unless it was designed and built for them.
Antennas, dish brackets and heavy fixtures fastened to the old chimney are not simply bolted back onto the new brick. Where an attachment has to stay on the house, it can usually be fixed to the structure instead of the chimney.
We discuss anything that was attached to the chimney before the rebuild and where it can go instead.
Rebuilding after a chimney fire
If the chimney is on fire, get everyone out of the house and call 911 once you are outside. Nothing should be done to the chimney until emergency responders say it is safe.
A flue fire can damage tiles and masonry in ways that are hard to see from the ground. The chimney stays out of use until it has been inspected from top to bottom.
Once responders are done, our crew inspects the chimney and explains whether it needs repair, relining or rebuilding.
On any service we offer
Partial or full, the rebuild is 10% off for 72 hours after the inspection.
