Planning the rebuild at your Lockwood home
This is how our local crew reasons through a rebuild for homes in Lockwood.
Keep, extend or reline during the rebuild
Three outcomes are common for the liner in a rebuild. A sound tile run can stay and be extended through the new work. A damaged top section can be replaced with new tile. A liner in poor condition further down may call for a separate relining job.
We explain which applies to your Lockwood chimney and why, based on what we can see from the top and the fireplace. Relining is priced as its own line, and it is scheduled so the rebuilt masonry and the new liner fit together cleanly.
Chimneys with more than one flue
When two or more flues share one chimney, section R1003.13 calls for masonry wythes of at least 4 inches between adjacent liners, tied into the chimney walls, subject to one stated exception.
Our crew counts and traces every flue in your Lockwood chimney before planning the rebuild. The divider walls are rebuilt with the stack, each liner is extended to the right height and the new crown is formed around all of them with its own seal at each tile.
Full mortar joints in every course
Brick Industry Association guidance treats full bed joints as a basic requirement for water-resistant brickwork. Gaps and furrows in the mortar bed leave paths for water to travel into the wall.
Our masons lay each rebuilt course on a full bed of mortar and fill the head joints between units completely. It takes longer than buttering the edges and hoping, and it is one of the reasons a rebuilt chimney in Lockwood holds up the way it should. Head joints get the same attention as bed joints, because water finds the gaps between units too.
A chimney you never use still needs a sound top
Many homeowners rarely or never light a fire, and the chimney slips out of mind. Loose brick can still fall, and a failing top still lets water into the house.
If your Lockwood chimney is unused, the rebuild can focus on keeping it weathertight and safe while leaving room for future use. Tell us how you use the fireplace, and we will explain what the liner and cap need for either choice. A sound cap keeps animals and rain out of an unused flue as well.

Rebuild answers for Lockwood homeowners
Our family-owned team in Lockwood answers what homeowners ask us about rebuilding.
How do you decide where the rebuild stops?
We check the bond of the units, the depth of sound mortar and the condition of the brick course by course. The rebuild stops where the masonry can carry new work, and that point is written into the estimate.
Loose bricks are falling from the chimney. Is it safe to wait?
Treat the area below as off limits and stay off the roof. Falling masonry can hurt someone or damage property, so arrange an inspection promptly. We can often remove the immediate risk on the first visit.
