NW Portland Chimney Rebuild

This fireplace was suffering from extensive saturation decay. The internal walls of the chimney were loose and crumbling apart. Mortar sand was coming out of both fireplace openings. Due to the saturation decay this chimney was not structurally sound and would not withstand an earthquake event. This chimney did not have proper chimney lining. It did not have structural integrity. It was to be torn down to the foundation and rebuilt with new “red rugg” brick and reinforcing the rebuild with rebar. Here it is, before.
