An inspection you can watch

Curious what our pros are looking at? You're welcome to stand at the hearth while they work inside. They'll shine a light up the flue, show you the damper and the smoke chamber, and point out anything worth knowing right there in the firebox.

Roof work stays with our specialists for safety, but they'll describe what they saw up top and show you from the ground where it is. Nothing is hidden in jargon, and nothing is repaired without your say-so. The chimney tends to make a lot more sense afterwards.

Local Conditions

Attic insulation against the chimney

When insulation is added to an attic in Andrews, it sometimes gets packed right up against the chimney. The Florida Building Code wants an air space there, and insulation filling it is worth fixing. Our pros check the attic side of the chimney for that gap, for fireblocking at the ceiling, and for any darkened wood that suggests heat has been reaching it.

Working the damper through its swing

On a compatible wood-burning fireplace, the damper must open fully before lighting and stay open until all fire and embers are out and the appliance instructions permit closure. Our pros assess the plate, frame and operating control, including any restriction or corrosion.

A restricted damper can contribute to smoke entering the room; a stuck-open damper can allow unwanted airflow when the fireplace is idle. Our pros assess whether cleaning, a repaired control or a replacement is suitable. A top-sealing option is considered only where the appliance's venting requirements allow it.

Inspecting before a relining job

Relining starts with a closer inspection under NFPA 211, and it makes sense. A new liner is sized to the flue and to the appliance, and it has to pass any offsets and fit past damaged tile.

Our specialists sweep the flue if needed, then run a light and a measuring piece down to check its size, straightness and condition. They also look at the smoke chamber, the crown and the top of the flue, where the liner will be fastened. The liner options that follow are based on what they found, and each comes with its own price and a note of what it suits.

The clean-out door and ash pit

Down at the base of many masonry chimneys, a small iron door opens into an ash pit or the bottom of the flue. It's easy to forget, and it's where debris, water and sometimes animals end up.

On an inspection, our pros open it, look at what has collected, and check that the door closes and seals. Standing water or wet debris there points to a leak higher up. A rusted or missing door lets air feed the fireplace from below and gives animals a way in. Replacement doors are priced on their own line if yours needs one, sized to the opening in the brick.

FAQs

Your chimney inspection questions, answered

Will you tell me if nothing needs doing?

If the accessible parts examined do not show a repair need, our pros explain that. Ask about any areas that could not be reached and any further checks recommended for your situation.

Does the chimney need sweeping before you inspect it?

If the flue is coated in soot, yes, because deposit hides cracks. Our pros can sweep and inspect on the same visit, and they'll tell you beforehand which your chimney needs.
