Pairing the inspection with a sweep
Is the flue coated in soot? Then the inspection works best after a sweep, since deposit hides cracks and gaps in the liner. Our specialists can sweep first and inspect right after, on the same visit.
If the flue is already clean, the inspection can go ahead on its own. Either way, you'll know before the visit which order makes sense and what each part costs, and the inspection itself stays free. The report you get covers the chimney as it stood once it was clean and every part could be seen. Ask for a sweep and inspection together in East Williston at (352) 675-6366.

How It Works
The route our pros take through your chimney
-
A few questions, then outside
We ask what you've noticed, then check the chimney from the ground and the roof.
-
Inside, firebox to flue
Firebox, hearth, damper, smoke chamber and flue get a light and a mirror, and you can watch.
-
Attic and connections
Clearances, fireblocking and any stove or insert connection within reach are checked.
-
Findings in writing
Our pros explain the findings and provide a written estimate for any proposed repairs.

Stove connector pipe and its joints
On the pipe joining a stove to the chimney, NFPA 211 lists what to check: how it's supported, how its joints are fastened, its pitch, and signs of damage, deterioration, blockage or heavy deposit.
Each of those is checked, plus the clearance from the pipe to nearby walls and ceilings and the spot where the pipe enters the chimney. Rusted sections, loose joints or a pipe that sags back toward the stove are all noted, and your quote says who corrects them. A connector in good order is one of the simplest ways to keep a stove venting properly.
Where the pipe enters the chimney
A stove connector joins the chimney through a thimble, a fireclay, refractory or metal sleeve set in the masonry. The Florida Building Code wants it built so the connector can't pull out of the wall or poke into the flue past the liner.
We check that the thimble is solid, that the connector fits it snugly, and that the pipe stops at the inner face of the liner. A pipe pushed too far into the flue narrows it and catches deposit. A loose thimble lets smoke leak into the room. Both are worth fixing, and you'll get prices for each.
What happens while our pros are there
An inspection starts with a few questions: which fireplace, what you burn, what you've noticed and when. Then our specialists look from the ground, go up if the roof allows, and work inside with a light and a mirror through the damper and into the smoke chamber.
They'll check the attic side if there's access, and any stove or insert connections. You're welcome to watch the inside part and ask questions as they go. Nothing is taken apart without your okay, and before they leave, you'll hear what they found and get it noted on the quote, with any repair priced line by line.
