Inside a chimney rebuild in Boggy Creek
Why our pros check what they check on rebuilds around Boggy Creek.
Partial chimney rebuild or a full rebuild
A partial chimney rebuild takes down the failed upper section and relays it on the sound masonry below. A full chimney rebuild removes the stack much further, sometimes to the base. The difference is not the size of the crack but the condition of what would remain.
Our specialists explain both options for your Boggy Creek home when both are realistic, including what each leaves in service. A smaller job only makes sense if the retained brick can carry new work. When it cannot, we say so plainly and show you what we found.
A gap opening between chimney and house
A widening gap where the chimney meets the siding or roof means the chimney and the house are moving differently. Caulking the gap closes it for appearance only. The question is whether the chimney is settling, tilting or pulling away at the top.
We measure the gap at several heights on your Boggy Creek home and look at the flashing, the base and the attic side. The written findings describe what is moving and what a repair would have to address, whether that is a partial rebuild or a larger structural step.
Brushing the finished face
After tooling, a little mortar is left at the edge of each joint. The right brush removes it without scratching brick or disturbing the new joint. Preservation Brief 2 recommends natural bristle or nylon brushes and advises against metal bristles on historic masonry.
Our masons in Boggy Creek use soft brushes for the finishing pass on rebuilt courses. It is the last step in making the new work look settled instead of freshly smeared. Metal brushes can scratch brick and leave particles that stain the face over time.
Base and counter flashing that work together
Base flashing turns up the chimney from the roof, and counterflashing comes down over it. For asphalt shingle roofs, the code allows base and counter flashing installed per the manufacturer's instructions, per RAS 111, or as continuous metal L flashing set in cement.
On rebuilds in Boggy Creek, our crew chooses the approach that suits your roof and the new masonry. The two layers overlap, so water on either one runs onto the roof, not into the house. Sealant is a supporting detail in this system, never the only thing keeping water out.

Chimney rebuild questions from Boggy Creek
Still weighing a rebuild? The inspection in Boggy Creek costs nothing.
What happens to the flue liner?
A rebuild exposes the liner, and we decide with you whether it stays, is extended through the new work or needs relining. Relining is its own line on the estimate if it is needed.
Do you replace the flashing during a rebuild?
When the rebuild reaches the roof line, yes, because old flashing is shaped to the old masonry. If only courses well above the roof are relaid, the existing flashing may stay, and the estimate says which applies.
