After a limb or debris strike
An impact from a falling limb or wind-driven debris can knock courses out of line, crack the crown and bend the cap, and the damage can reach lower than it looks. Courses below the visible break get the same hand and tool tests as the rest, because a blow can loosen joints several courses down.
The flue is checked for tile knocked into the passage, and the fireplace stays unused until it has been. Impact damage on the Green Cove Springs chimney is kept apart from older wear, with each item described in plain words. Chimney leaning or dropping brick in Green Cove Springs?

What's Included

- Crown cast with an overhang, drip edge and bond break
How It Works
How our rebuild specialists work in Green Cove Springs
-
Take-down line marked
We test each row of brick from the top down and mark where sound brick starts.
-
Old brick taken down by hand
The flue is covered and the roof protected, then brick comes off a row at a time, with sound brick saved to relay.
-
Relaid plumb around the flue
Brick goes back in matched mortar with tooled joints, around new clay tile or ready for a listed liner, and is flashed into the roof.
-
Crown cast, cap on last
A new crown with an overhang and a drip edge cures before the cap goes on and the first fire is lit.
Local Conditions
Footings under leaning chimneys in Green Cove Springs
A chimney sits on its own footing of concrete or solid masonry. When the whole stack leans from the base, rebuilding the top will not stop it.
We check whether a lean in Green Cove Springs starts at the top courses or at the footing, and we name who would evaluate the footing.

Where new flue tile starts and how far it may lean
The code sets where clay tile begins. For a flue serving an appliance, it starts no less than 8 inches under the lowest inlet; for a fireplace, it starts at the top of the smoke chamber, and it runs to a point above the enclosing walls (FBC R1003.12).
The tile runs vertically where it can, and where it must offset, the slope stays within 30 degrees of vertical. A rebuild that goes low enough to reach the smoke chamber rebuilds that starting point too, and you know in advance how far down the new tile begins. The first tile sits on a solid base, clear of loose rubble.
The divider between two flues
Where two or more flues run in one chimney, the code wants masonry built between them, a wythe not less than 4 inches thick (FBC R1003.13). That divider keeps smoke and heat in one flue from crossing into the next through an open joint.
In old chimneys the divider can be broken, thin or missing near the top. A rebuild puts it back to full thickness through the rebuilt section and ties it into the outer walls. Each flue's tile or liner is then set on its own side of the divider. Where one flue is abandoned, the divider still goes back, since the empty flue beside it still collects heat and water.
A cricket behind a wide chimney
On the uphill side of a chimney, water running down the roof piles against the masonry. A narrow chimney splits the flow on its own; a wide one needs help. The code requires a cricket, a small ridged diverter, where the chimney measures more than 30 inches parallel to the ridge and does not meet the ridge (FBC R1003.20).
Changing the chimney's width or position during a rebuild is the time to check that requirement. The cricket ties into the roof covering, so its builder and its junction with the new flashing are settled before work starts.

FAQ
Before the first brick comes off
Will the rebuilt section look like the rest of the chimney?
Original brick is reused where it tests sound, and new brick is chosen for size, then color and texture. New mortar shades differently at first and settles as it cures. An exact match is not something anyone can promise; the estimate shows which brick is planned.
Can I use the fireplace while the rebuild is underway?
No. From the day the take-down starts until the crown has cured and the cap is back, the flue stays covered and the opening sealed. The estimate gives the date it can be used again.
