Customer Concern: A homeowner in Brookfield contacted Smoke Stacks due to significant brick damage and deterioration on their chimney. The extent of the damage raised concerns about the chimney’s structural integrity, prompting the need for a comprehensive solution to ensure its safety and longevity.
Assessment and Response: Our team responded promptly to this Brookfield chimney rebuild project, arriving on-site within four days of the initial call to assess the situation. After a thorough evaluation, it was clear that the only practical solution was to perform a full chimney rebuild down to the roofline. We provided the homeowner with a detailed quote on-site outlining the necessary steps to restore their chimney to optimal condition.
Chimney Services Provided: The project involved several critical steps to ensure a complete and durable rebuild:
- Chimney Rebuild: We carefully dismantled the existing chimney down to the roofline and rebuilt it using new bricks. This process restored the chimney’s structural integrity and enhanced its appearance.
- Concrete Crown Installation: We poured a robust 4-inch concrete crown reinforced with rebar to protect the newly rebuilt chimney. The crown was designed with a generous overhang to shield the bricks from weather exposure, ensuring long-lasting protection.
- Chimney Liner Installation: As part of the rebuild, we installed a new appliance liner to ensure the safe and efficient venting of gases. This liner is crucial for maintaining the overall safety of the chimney system.
The unique challenge of this project was working around the homeowner’s solar panels on the roof. Our team took extra precautions to protect the solar system throughout the rebuild process, ensuring no disruption to the homeowner’s energy setup.
Project Duration: The chimney rebuild was completed in four days, which is typical for this type of project. We efficiently managed the project within the expected timeframe despite the added complexity of working around the solar panels.
Importance of Service: When a chimney’s bricks are severely deteriorated, a full rebuild is often the only viable solution. Rebuilding ensures the chimney can function safely and effectively, preventing hazards like collapsing bricks or compromised venting systems. In this case, installing a properly constructed crown will significantly extend the chimney’s lifespan.
