Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does a professional chimney sweep rebuild a chimney?
A dilapidated chimney stack is a disaster in the making. It could be a precursor to a host of accidents. So, whenever a chimney is damaged by a storm or by a fire or by any other calamity, the best option would be to rebuild it as soon as possible. You would never want the chimney above you to crash in.

The life of a chimney, on an average, depends on the weather conditions of the location of the house, frequency of its use, way it has been constructed, and frequency of its maintenance.

Chimneys disintegrate into nothing when left as they are. A sheer waste of masonry coupled with problems like water penetration would be the result if chimneys were left untended. If timely repairs are made, thousands of dollars could be saved from going down the gutter.

Proper construction and regular maintenance of chimneys is what is needed to avoid chimney rebuilds. Chimney rebuilds are quite expensive options, so they are resorted to when chimneys cannot be repaired. But a chimney with poor masonry work has to be rebuilt all the same.

Kinds of chimney rebuilds
Chimney rebuild is of different kinds:

  • Total chimney rebuild: The mortar making up the chimney has been seriously damaged leading to the chimney leaning on one side. Water begins to seep into the bricks through the ground; the outer layer of the chimney which is made of bricks is torn down.
  • Partial chimney rebuild: No elaborate equipment like scaffolding is required in this case. The topmost sections of a large chimney are merely added a new crown. At times the only part damaged by time is only the brickwork on the upper part of the chimney. Using low-quality mortar has a big hand in this. Partial rebuilding of the chimney is warranted.
  • Roof line up chimney rebuild: Over a period of time, brick and mortar tends to deteriorate and fade. This continues to the point where restoration of lost glory is no longer possible. In such a case, the chimney till the point of flashing is torn down, while the top of the chimney gets a new crown.
A chimney rebuild and the huge cost associated with it could always be avoided if a chimney crown were used. The chimney top is protected by the chimney crown. These crowns are made from a mortar mix. But crowns are not the permanent solution for havoc created by weather conditions and water seepage into chimneys. A chimney rebuild would be needed all the same.

A cracked or damaged chimney crown could be a source of water seeping into the masonry material of the chimney. Chimney crown sealing is the solution in this case if you are looking for an effective way out of chimney repairs or even a chimney rebuild that could burn some real holes in your pockets.

The rebuilt chimney would still have to be subject to regular maintenance and care. Unless properly maintained, there could be a build-up of moisture in chimneys that might lead to damage to the external face of the chimney as well as the internal structure of the chimney.

There are bound to be salt crystal buildups at points where the water collects, and there are bound to be places where algae and mildew congregate. These should be avoided to avoid a condition warranting a chimney repair and another chimney rebuild.
