The phone call before a visit in Jacksonville Beach

A few minutes on the phone make the visit better. We ask what you have noticed and when, whether it follows rain, what fuel the fireplace burns, how old the roof is, and whether anyone has worked on the chimney before. We also ask about access: pitch, roof covering, gates and pets.

Those answers let us load the right ladders and likely materials before heading to your Jacksonville Beach address, so the visit is spent looking rather than fetching. If something you describe sounds urgent, we say so on that call and tell you what to do in the meantime. The whole-stack check in Jacksonville Beach is free, and the repairs come ranked in writing; call (904) 920-5495.

Rust streaks on Jacksonville Beach chimney brick

Brown streaks down a chimney face in Jacksonville Beach usually start at a metal part above them, such as a cap, a flashing edge or the steel lintel over the fireplace. Close to salt water those parts corrode early, so the streak is often the first thing an owner notices.

We follow the stain up to its source and repair or replace that part before any brick or mortar work begins.

The stepped brick above the damper

Above the damper, the fireplace narrows into the flue through a smoke chamber, and that narrowing can be built by stepping bricks inward course by course. Left rough, those steps catch smoke, collect soot and give heat a jagged surface to work on. The mortar there takes more heat than anywhere in the chimney except the firebox.

We look at the chamber from below with a light, noting missing mortar, open joints and bare brick. A chamber that needs work gets its own line, because repairing it means working overhead through the damper opening, which is slow and careful work.

A masonry flue that now vents a gas appliance

Chimneys built for wood fires sometimes end up venting a gas appliance, and that change matters to the flue. Gas exhaust is cooler and wetter than wood smoke. In a large clay flue it can cool enough to condense, and the water it drops washes out mortar and stains the brick.

A lined flue matched to the connected appliance is what the residential code expects, and the appliance's own instructions spell out what that lining must be. Where an existing flue does not fit the appliance, we propose a liner listed to UL 1777 and sized to the appliance it serves.

Metal chimney parts close to salt water

Near the coast, salt carried on the wind settles on every metal part of a chimney and holds moisture against it. Galvanized caps, chase covers, fasteners and flashing lose their zinc coating faster under that film and start to rust sooner than the same parts further inland.

On chimneys in this band we look closely at cap mesh, cover seams and screw heads, and we specify stainless steel or copper parts with fasteners of a compatible metal, following each maker's guidance on exposure. The Brick Industry Association does not recommend galvanized steel for chimney flashing in any case, and near salt water the reasons add up faster.

Chimney repair questions from Jacksonville Beach

Can you repair just one part of my chimney?

Yes, when one part is what failed. The estimate lists each finding separately, so you can approve the crown and leave the repointing, or the other way round. If two items have to be done together to work, we say so.

Do you work on factory-built chimneys as well as brick ones?

Yes. Factory-built chimneys have a metal pipe, a framed chase and a sheet-metal cover instead of brick and a crown, and the repairs follow the maker's listing. We tell you on the first visit which kind you have.
