How our crew approaches a chimney rebuild in Bryn Mawr
Read these before you sign off on a rebuild in Bryn Mawr.
Protecting shingles and tile during teardown
Dismantling a chimney puts brick, mortar and foot traffic on the roof around it. Unprotected shingles scuff and tile can crack under a careless step or a dropped unit.
Before any brick comes off your Bryn Mawr chimney, the crew lays protection over the working area, sets up a path for material and keeps loose pieces contained. If roof covering must be lifted to reset flashing, that is written into the plan along with how it will be restored. Gutters below the work are guarded as well, since they catch most of what slips.
A new crown with a drip edge and bond break
Section R1003.9.1 of the Florida Residential Code finishes a masonry chimney in concrete, metal or stone with a drip at the edge, plus a caulked bond break at each flue liner done to ASTM C1283.
Every rebuild our crew finishes in Bryn Mawr ends with a top that meets that description. The estimate names the material, and the new crown is built to shed water away from the brick instead of letting it run down the face of the fresh work. A top that only looks finished falls short unless it carries these details.
Counterflashing set into the new joints
Where a chimney meets the roof, the flashing is in two parts. Base or step flashing works with the roof covering, and counterflashing laps over it from the chimney side, usually let into a mortar joint.
A rebuild through the roof line is the right time to cut new reglets or build the counterflashing into the courses as they go up. Our crew plans the flashing for your Bryn Mawr chimney before the masonry reaches the roof, so the two parts meet properly.
Keeping people clear of loose masonry
Loose brick at the top of a chimney can fall onto a walkway, a patio or a car. Until the chimney has been checked, treat the area below as off limits and do not climb onto the roof to look.
Describe what you see when you call. Our Bryn Mawr team can often remove the immediate risk on the first visit, then return to rebuild the section properly once the plan and estimate are agreed. Moving a car or closing off a patio door for a day or two is a small price for safety.
