What the rebuild estimate lists

Each part of a rebuild is its own line: the take-down height, brick and mortar, the flue work, the crown, the flashing and any cricket, roof protection and debris removal, and permit handling. Reused brick and new brick are shown separately, which tells you how much of the original stack goes back.

Anything uncertain until the masonry is opened is named as an allowance with its reason instead of being hidden in a total. It also states the cure time the Tallulah-North Shore schedule allows before first use. Questions about any line are answered before you sign. Tell us what you see from the ground; (904) 920-5495 reaches our rebuild team in Tallulah-North Shore.

From take-down line to cured crown in Tallulah-North Shore

Courses tested, line marked
Each course is pressed and probed from the top down, and the take-down line is marked where sound brick starts.
Taken down under cover
The flue is plugged and the roof protected, then brick comes off by hand and sound units are saved.
Relaid with flue and flashing
Courses go back plumb in the chosen mortar, the flue tile or liner rises with them, and counterflashing is set into the joints.
Height, crown and cap
The height is checked, a crown is cast with a drip edge and bond break, and the cap goes on after it cures.

Height checks on rebuilt chimneys in Tallulah-North Shore

A rebuilt stack must stand at least 3 feet above where it passes the roof and 2 feet higher than anything within 10 feet, as the code requires.

If an addition or a new roof has changed that, the rebuild in Tallulah-North Shore adds courses before the crown is cast.

Closing the flue while the stack comes down

The open flue is the easiest path for rubble into the house. Before the first course comes off, a cover or a plug goes into the flue a few feet down, so mortar and brick fragments stop on top of it instead of landing in the smoke chamber or on the damper.

Inside, the fireplace opening is sealed as a second barrier. The cover is lifted and cleaned out as the take-down goes lower, and it stays in place until the new flue work begins. A cover that fills with debris is emptied by hand rather than pushed down the flue.

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.

How far a rebuilt chimney may step out

Some chimneys step out from a wall or foundation as they rise, a detail called corbeling. The code limits it: a chimney may not be corbeled out more than half of its own wall thickness from a wall or foundation, and may not be corbeled from a wall less than 12 inches thick unless it projects equally on each side (FBC R1003.5).

Corbeled sections reached by the take-down are rebuilt within those limits. Where the old corbel went beyond them, the rebuilt section is brought back inside them. A decorative band of stepped courses near the top is relaid to match the original pattern.

Rebuild questions from Tallulah-North Shore

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.

Does a rebuild qualify for the 10% offer?

Yes. A rebuild booked within 72 hours of the free inspection comes 10% off; just ask for it on the call.
