Professional chimney repair and rebuilding to keep your home safe from leaks, carbon monoxide, and structural damage.
Your chimney does more than just vent smoke. It protects your family from dangerous gases and keeps water out of your home. When your chimney develops cracks, leaning, or deteriorating mortar, these problems turn into serious safety hazards fast. We see it all the time in Palm Bay where heavy rains and humidity attack chimney masonry relentlessly.
A damaged chimney lets water seep into your home. Water runs down the flue, soaks into walls, damages ceilings, and creates perfect conditions for mold growth. Even worse, cracks in the chimney liner can allow carbon monoxide to leak into your living spaces instead of venting safely outside. This invisible, odorless gas is deadly.
At PB Palm Bay Masonry, we repair and rebuild chimneys to eliminate these dangers. Whether you need a simple crown repair or a complete chimney rebuild, we handle the job right. We've fixed hundreds of chimneys across Palm Bay and know exactly what it takes to make them safe and functional again.
Every chimney has unique problems. We start every job with a thorough inspection from top to bottom. We check the crown, flue liner, masonry, flashing, and structural stability. This tells us exactly what needs fixing and helps us give you an accurate estimate.
The crown sits at the top of your chimney and protects it from water damage. Cracks in the crown let water pour straight down into the chimney structure. We repair minor crown damage and rebuild severely damaged crowns using weather-resistant materials that stand up to Florida's climate.
Flashing creates the waterproof seal between your chimney and roof. When flashing fails, water runs straight into your attic and walls. We install new flashing correctly and seal it properly so water stays outside where it belongs. This often goes hand in hand with our brick repair services when chimney masonry has deteriorated.
Chimney mortar takes a beating from constant temperature changes and weather exposure. Deteriorating mortar joints weaken the entire structure and let water penetrate the masonry. We remove old, damaged mortar and replace it with fresh mortar mixed to match your chimney. This process, called repointing, restores structural strength and stops water intrusion. Our tuckpointing services use the same expert techniques.
Sometimes a chimney is too far gone for simple repairs. Severe structural damage, extensive deterioration, or a leaning chimney usually means you need a partial or complete rebuild. This sounds expensive and scary, but it's often the smartest long-term investment.
A chimney rebuild gives you a brand new structure built to modern safety codes. We tear down the damaged sections and rebuild them from the ground up using high-quality materials. We make sure the new chimney is straight, stable, and properly flashed. The rebuilt chimney will last for decades without the constant repair costs of trying to patch up a failing structure.
We handle chimney rebuilds methodically and safely. First, we protect your roof and property with tarps and barriers. Then we carefully dismantle the damaged chimney sections. We salvage good bricks when possible to help with color matching. Next comes the rebuild using premium materials and mortar. We install a new crown, flashing, and cap. Finally, we clean up thoroughly and leave your property looking better than before we started.
After any major chimney work, we recommend a professional chimney sweep inspection before you use your fireplace. This ensures everything is safe and properly venting. We can coordinate this for you or you can arrange it yourself. Your safety matters more than anything else.
