Chimney Rebuild in Hartford CT
Chimney Rebuild and Liner Installation in Hartford, CT
Recently, we completed a significant chimney project in Hartford, CT. This job involved rebuilding two chimneys up to the roofline, each requiring approximately 200 bricks. We installed stainless steel chimney caps to cover all flues.
Addressing Heating System Concerns
During our inspection, we also discovered deteriorated clay flue tiles in the heating system further down below the areas we were rebuilding, which posed a safety hazard. To address this issue, we installed a stainless steel liner. This upgrade not only ensures proper venting of combustion gases but also significantly improves the safety and efficiency of the heating system.
Coordination with Roofers
For both rebuilds, we left the flashing long to accommodate the roofing work that will follow. The roofers will need to lift the counter flashing when performing the roof rip-up, after which they will trim it to the appropriate size upon roof completion. This approach ensures a seamless transition between the chimney and the new roofing system.
Conclusion
This project in Hartford is a great example of the comprehensive chimney services we offer, from complete rebuilds to liner installations and coordination with other contractors.
