Chimney brick and mortar, repaired with care

A gap opening where the chimney meets the house

Where a chimney is built against the house wall, the joint between them should stay tight. A gap that widens toward the top suggests the chimney is moving away from the house rather than the masonry simply wearing.

That is a structural question before it is a masonry one. Keep people clear of the area below and tell us when you first noticed the gap. We look at the attachment, the base and the crack pattern. Masonry repair follows once the cause is understood, and a larger section may need relaying.

Clearing masonry debris from the property

Masonry repair creates broken brick, old mortar, dust and packaging. We clean up as we work, protect the ground and roof below and haul all of the debris away when the job is done.

Brick chips in gutters, dust on window sills and mortar splashes on the paving are part of what we clean before leaving. Tell us about areas that need extra care, such as a pool deck or planted beds, so protection is planned before any removal starts.

Stucco or stone over the masonry

Some chimneys are finished in stucco or faced with stone rather than exposed brick. Stucco chimney repair and stone chimney repair each have their own methods and materials, and the assembly behind the finish matters as much as the surface.

If the finish is sound and the problem lies in exposed brick elsewhere on the chimney, the masonry repair covers that part. Where the finish itself has failed, we name the right service. We tell you which parts of the chimney each scope covers, so the estimate stays clear.

Masonry around the top of the flue

At the top of a masonry chimney, the flue lining passes through the crown. The Florida Building Code calls for a bond break around the lining, so the lining and the masonry can move separately without cracking each other.

Where the crown was cast tight to the lining, or the joint has failed, cracks can run into the top courses. We look at that joint whenever the top masonry is damaged. The crown and lining work is listed separately, but it is planned together with the masonry repair so the top is closed in one sequence.

Before you approve masonry repairs

What if a crack in my chimney looks structural?

Cracks through several bricks, stepped cracking or a stack moving away from the house can point to a structural cause. We explain what we see and when an engineer should assess it before masonry repair.

Can you remove plants growing out of the chimney joints?

Yes. We remove the growth carefully so it does not pull brick faces away, then repair the joints the roots opened. That work is listed on the estimate with the rest of the masonry.

What do you need from me before the masonry visit in Doral?

Access to the fireplace, a clear path to the side of the house under the chimney and, if possible, the attic. Any records of earlier masonry work help, but the visit goes ahead without them.
