What Goes Into a Chimney Repair That Lasts
Local chimney repair pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every job in Temple Terrace.
When worn mortar joints need attention
Brick Industry Association guidance treats mortar that has eroded more than a quarter inch, crumbles when scraped or has pulled away from the brick as a sign the joints need repointing. Open joints let rain into the core of the chimney, where it does far more harm than it does on the surface.
We rake out only the failed mortar and refill the joints with a mix chosen to be no harder than the brick beside it. On many chimneys that focused joint work is the whole repair, and it spares you from taking sound sections apart. The free inspection in Temple Terrace tells you which case you are in.
Keeping a repaired chimney at the right height
Florida's residential code sets two height tests for a chimney. Its top must stand 3 feet or more above the spot where it comes through the roof, and 2 feet or more above any part of the building that sits within 10 feet of it, which helps it draw and keeps the outlet clear of nearby roof surfaces.
It matters during repair because rebuilding a damaged top can change the height. When we repair or rebuild the upper courses of a chimney in Temple Terrace, the finished stack keeps the height the code requires, and the plan shows that before work begins.
Repairs where the chimney meets wood framing
Inside the house, a masonry chimney needs space from wood. Florida's residential code requires a 2-inch airspace between the interior parts of a masonry chimney and combustible framing, plus fireblocking with noncombustible material where the chimney passes through floors and ceilings.
When a repair opens walls or ceilings near the chimney, or a leak has damaged framing, those clearances are checked before anything is closed up. We tell you what we found and which trade should handle the finish work in your Temple Terrace home.
Chimneys that vent a furnace or water heater
Some masonry chimneys serve an appliance besides the fireplace, such as a furnace or a water heater. Each flue has to suit what is connected to it, and a flue built for one use may not suit another after an appliance is changed.
If your chimney vents more than the fireplace, tell us when you book. We make sure the repair plan accounts for every flue in the stack, and anything outside our scope is named clearly so the right trade can take it on in your Temple Terrace home.
