Nothing wrong? You'll hear that too

Not every inspection turns up a problem, and that's a good result. If the crown is sound, the liner is intact and the damper seals, our pros will tell you exactly that and leave it there.

You can ask which parts were examined and whether any area needs a closer look. A free inspection does not commit you to a repair. If work is proposed, the written estimate explains the scope and price so you can consider it before booking. Discuss a visit to your home in Fairbanks at (352) 675-6366.

Fairbanks falls in the Alachua County part of our service area. Neither the Gulf nor Atlantic coast reaches Fairbanks.

Partitions between flues in one chimney

Where several flues occupy one chimney, their required separation depends on the configuration and applicable code provisions. Some arrangements have specific exceptions. Our pros consider the actual connections and visible partitions before recommending work between the flues.

NFPA 211 expects every flue in the chimney to be checked, including ones serving other appliances. Our pros inspect each flue and the partitions they can see, looking for cracks, missing mortar or signs of smoke staining across from one flue into another. It matters most where a fireplace and a furnace share a chimney, since exhaust in the wrong flue can reach a living space. Any gap found is priced for repair.

Crown, cap and the flue top

The crown is the concrete slab that caps the brick, and it should slope away from the flue and hang past the chimney edge so water drips clear. The cap sits on the flue above it, keeping out rain, animals and debris.

Cracks, loose pieces and the slope of the crown are all on the list, along with the seal where the flue tile comes through it. Our specialists also check the cap is fastened, its screen is whole and it's sized for the flue. Any fix, from sealing a hairline crack to fitting a new cap, is priced separately so you can pick what you want done.

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

Booking an inspection in Fairbanks

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.

Can a factory-built fireplace be inspected too?

Absolutely. The rating plate comes first, then our pros go through the firebox panels, the metal chimney, the cap and the chase top with the maker's manual in hand. Replacement parts are quoted from the maker's own list.
