Rebuilding a stack with two flues

A stack with two flues carries a masonry divider between them, and a rebuild has to put that back as well as the outer walls. Each flue is tracked through the take-down so its tile or liner goes back in the right place, sized for what it serves.

If one flue is no longer used, the rebuild is a chance to decide its future: keep it open with a cap, or close it properly at the top. Each flue in the Jacksonville Beach stack gets its own plan. The divider between the flues goes back at full thickness. Our rebuild masons assess Jacksonville Beach chimneys at no charge; book at (904) 920-5495.

At the 2020 Census, Jacksonville Beach was home to 23,830 people. Jacksonville Beach reaches the coastline.

How It Works

From take-down line to cured crown in Jacksonville Beach

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

Weather-side courses on coastal chimneys

The face of a chimney that takes onshore wind soaks up the most rain and loses mortar first. On a coastal chimney that side often sets the take-down line.

When we rebuild in Jacksonville Beach, joints on that face are tooled concave so rain runs off them.

What the footing has to be

A masonry chimney sits on its own footing. The code calls for one of concrete or solid masonry, 12 inches thick or more, extending 6 inches or more past the face of the chimney or its support wall on every side (FBC R1003.2).

Leaning from the base points to the footing, which may be undersized, cracked or sitting on soil that has moved. That is outside what a stack rebuild can correct. That gets said up front, with who would evaluate the footing, before any work above it is scheduled. Cracks that widen toward the bottom and a gap opening between chimney and wall point that way.

Anchoring the cap once the crown has cured

A cap goes on after the crown cures, since anchors in green concrete do not hold. Depending on the design, it clamps to the flue tile, screws to the crown with masonry anchors, or bolts to a top plate. Anchors go in with care near the crown's edge, where drilling too close can split off the drip edge. The cap is sized to the flue or to the crown for a multi-flue design, and its screen is checked for gaps once it is on. Stainless fasteners are used so rust does not streak down the new crown and brick.

Water repellent on rebuilt masonry

Fresh masonry can take a water repellent once it has cured, and the product's data sheet says how long to wait. A breathable, penetrating repellent lets moisture inside the brick escape as vapor while slowing rain from soaking in, which film-forming coatings do not.

Repellent is not a substitute for a good crown, tight flashing and tooled joints; it works on top of them. Whether it is worth applying depends on the brick and the exposure, so it is offered as an option, with the reasoning. It goes on clean, dry masonry, and the data sheet gives the reapplication interval.

We do. Describe what you are seeing on the chimney and the roof type, and the Jacksonville Beach estimate visit is planned around testing the masonry.

How long does a chimney rebuild take?

It depends on how far down the take-down goes, the flue work and the weather, plus cure time before the cap and first fire. The estimate gives a schedule with the working days marked.
