Inside a chimney rebuild in Timberleaf
Why our pros check what they check on rebuilds around Timberleaf.
Where the old brick goes
A rebuild produces a lot of heavy debris, and throwing it off the roof is how gutters, plants and walkways get damaged. The better approach is to lower material in buckets or send it down a chute into a container.
We plan the debris route for your Timberleaf home at the inspection, taking into account landscaping, pool areas, screen enclosures and driveways. Haul-away is part of the estimate, and the yard is raked and swept before the crew leaves. Nothing heavy is dropped where it could crack a walkway or bend a gutter.
Solid walls at least 4 inches thick
Section R1003.10 of the Florida Residential Code calls for masonry chimney walls built of solid units, or hollow units grouted solid, with at least a 4-inch nominal thickness. The wall thickness is part of what protects the house from the heat inside the flue.
Rebuilt courses on your Timberleaf chimney are laid to that standard. Where an existing section was built thinner or with ungrouted hollow units, we tell you what we found and how the rebuild addresses it, rather than stacking new work on a weak base.
New flashing with a rebuilt chimney
Old flashing is shaped to the old chimney. Once the masonry at the roof line is rebuilt, reusing bent, patched or sealant-covered flashing rarely gives a reliable seal against the new courses.
For that reason, a rebuild through the roof on your Timberleaf home normally includes new flashing. If only the courses well above the roof are relaid, the existing flashing may stay, and the estimate explains which case applies and why. New flashing is detailed to the roof covering in place, so the two work together from the first rain.
Keeping an eye on the chimney after the rebuild
Brick Industry Association guidance recommends periodic inspection of brick masonry, preferably each season, using binoculars to see upper areas without climbing. The same habit suits a rebuilt chimney.
Once a season, look at your Timberleaf chimney from the yard. Check the crown edges, the flashing and the joints near the top for anything new. If something catches your eye, describe it when you call, and we will tell you whether it needs a visit. A few minutes of looking can catch a loose cap or cracked crown edge while it is still a small repair.

Chimney rebuild questions from Timberleaf
Still weighing a rebuild? The inspection in Timberleaf costs nothing.
Is a new crown part of the rebuild?
Yes. A rebuilt chimney is finished with a concrete, metal or stone crown or cap that has a drip edge and a bond break around each flue tile. The material is named in your estimate.
What if you find more damage once the top is open?
Work on that item stops, you see what we found and you receive a written change with its price. Nothing extra proceeds without your approval, which is how we keep pricing upfront with no hidden fees.
