Before your stone chimney is repaired in Edgewood
Straight from stone jobs around Edgewood, the details that set your repair plan.
A stone chimney is a masonry chimney
The Florida Building Code, Residential, section R1003.1, defines a masonry chimney as one built of solid masonry units, hollow masonry units grouted solid, stone or concrete. A solid stone chimney falls under the same masonry chimney rules as a brick one.
Section R1003.10 puts the floor for masonry chimney walls at 4 inches nominal. Solid stone chimneys are repaired as structure, so loose or missing units are more than a cosmetic matter, and we treat them that way in the findings.
A chimney that leans or separates
Pulling away from the house, or leaning out of plumb, makes a stone chimney a structural concern. Footing problems, failed ties or long-term water damage at the base can all be behind it.
Keep people clear of the base and the area below the chimney, and do not lean ladders on it. We assess the chimney, explain what we see and when a partial or full rebuild is the sound answer. Rebuild work is scoped and priced separately.
Why we do not pressure wash stone chimneys
High pressure water drives water deep into joints, erodes mortar and can scar softer stone. One manufactured stone maker rules out power washing and sandblasting on its product.
If a stone chimney has been pressure washed in the past, we look for eroded joints and damaged faces during the inspection. Cleaning we do is done by hand with low-pressure rinsing, so the stone and joints keep their surfaces.
Chimneys that mix brick and stone
Some chimneys combine materials, a stone base with a brick upper section, or stone facing on a brick core. Brick and stone take different mortars, different joint styles and sometimes different repair methods.
We treat each part on its own terms and name both in the estimate. Brick sections are handled under brick repair, and the stone portions under this work, so it is clear what is being done to each.
Family-owned stone repair, start to finish
Our business is family owned and locally owned. Whoever inspects your chimney works for the same family that does the repair, with no call center or distant head office in between.
That shows up in small ways, such as tarps down before the first chisel, mortar samples shown before the full batch and a phone call answered when you have a question weeks later.
