This chimney was torn down to about two feet below the roofline. All of the brick were salvaged and cleaned. To meet the building code, the chimney was then raised slightly higher (using only the original brick). The concrete cap was reformed/repoured and the original chase was reinstalled.

It’s very difficult to tell from most of the images that the wingwalls are curved very much, there were no straight lines in this project, everything was curved. The original steps were pulling away from the house and this was our solution.

On this project I reclaimed all of the original brick and reused them. The fireplace/chimney had heavy deterioration and was leaking smoke to the outside.
Another example of bad masonry. Everything in this area was deteriorating. There was also a drainage issue with respect to the concrete height and the door.
Here is the finished product. The brick were reclaimed and reused. The old concrete was busted up and repoured to a different height. Drainage grooves were added.
