What Goes Into a Sound Chimney Rebuild
Partial or full, our experts size the rebuild to the damage and explain every choice.
No change in chimney size at the roof
The code does not let a chimney or its flue lining change size or shape within 6 inches above or below where it passes through a floor, ceiling or roof.
That matters when a rebuild changes the chimney's footprint at the top. Any step in or out has to happen well clear of the roof line. The rule applies to the flue lining as well as the outer brick, so both are planned together.
We plan the rebuilt shape with that rule in mind, and explain any change in the chimney's outline before work begins.
Corbeling limits in a rebuilt chimney
Corbeling is stepping brick courses out beyond the ones below. Overall, the code lets a chimney corbel out from a wall or foundation by no more than half the chimney's wall thickness.
For a single course, the allowed step is the smaller of two measures, one half the unit's height or one third of its depth into the wall. Rebuilding is the moment to correct a profile that never met those limits.
Decorative bands and caps on older chimneys often break those limits, so a rebuild may bring the profile back within them.
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.
Details that help before the rebuild inspection
Before the visit, tell us what you have seen, such as fallen brick, a lean, a gap at the wall or water inside, and roughly when it started.
Mention earlier repairs, planned roofing work and how the fireplace is used. If an engineer or home inspector has already looked at the chimney, their notes help. A short description of what changed and when is enough to start.
There is nothing to measure or climb. Our crew handles access and measurements on the free visit.
