Rebuilding from sound masonry upward

What the free inspection can settle for a rebuild

Our free inspection looks at the stack from the ground and, where it is safe, from the roof. It also covers the fireplace, the part of the flue we can see and the attic side where accessible. We test the joints and units we can reach.

Some things stay uncertain until removal begins, such as the exact depth of weak masonry. We say what the visit could confirm and what it could not. The estimate sets a planned removal line and explains how it will be confirmed on the job.

When the leak comes first

If water is getting into the house and the entry is not yet clear, chimney leak repair is the place to start. Its job is to find where water gets in before any part is replaced.

A rebuild does stop leaks that come from failed masonry at the top, but it is a large answer to a question that may have a smaller one. We explain what the evidence shows about the leak before suggesting a rebuild for it. If the leak turns out to come from the top masonry, the rebuild discussion can follow.

A rebuild on a chimney finished in stucco

Some masonry chimneys are finished with stucco over the brick or block. When such a chimney is rebuilt, the new masonry is built first and the finish is applied over it afterwards.

The stucco is a separate item on the estimate, and it needs time to cure in its own right. We explain how the new finish will meet the old one below the removal line. Where the finish alone has failed on sound masonry, stucco chimney repair is the better fit.

Ties and anchors in salt-laden air

Ties that connect a rebuilt chimney to the house sit inside the masonry, where moisture can reach them. Near the sea, salt in that moisture speeds corrosion, and a rusting tie can crack the new brick around it.

On coastal and near-coast rebuilds, we choose tie metal for the exposure and keep dissimilar metals apart. The ties are listed on the estimate with their material, so the choice is on record for anyone who works on the chimney later. Ties are also cheap to get right now and very hard to replace once the brick is up.

Line items in a chimney reconstruction

  • New brick matched to the lower courses
  • Roof covering protection
  • Cover over the open chimney each evening
  • Structural assessment flagged where needed

Asked often about chimney rebuilds

Is there a discount if I book the rebuild soon?

Yes. Once the free inspection at your home is done, you have 72 hours in which any service you book carries a 10% discount. The rebuild scope stays exactly as written either way.

Will a rebuild change how my fireplace draws?

It should not make it worse. The rebuilt flue is kept to a size that suits the fireplace, and the top follows the code's height rule. If draft was a problem before, we explain what the rebuild can and cannot change.

How do you keep debris off the roof and the yard?

Masonry is taken down by hand and lowered in a controlled way. We protect the roof covering and the ground below, clean up as we go and haul all of the debris away at the end.
