A chimney shared with the furnace or water heater

Is the furnace or water heater venting up the same chimney as the fireplace? Every flue in the chimney gets inspected, and the partitions between them get a look, since a crack there lets exhaust move where it shouldn't.

Our pros also check that each appliance's flue is lined the way that appliance needs, because an old clay flue sized for a fireplace can be the wrong fit for a modern furnace. You'll get a clear picture of every flue, with any work priced separately. Ask for a whole-chimney inspection at your home in Inglis by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Metal and masonry near the coast

Homes in Inglis get some salt in the air, though less than on the shore. The inspection weighs both, looking at metal parts for rust and at brick and crown for the damp wear salt can add. Our pros note what they see on each and explain which parts are fine and which will need attention sooner than they would inland.

Firebrick and mortar in the firebox

The firebox takes the direct heat of every fire. Its lining is firebrick laid in refractory mortar, and over time the joints erode, bricks crack and pieces spall off the face.

Back wall, sides and floor all get a look, with loose-looking brick tapped and gaps traced to see if they go through to the masonry behind. Surface cracks in firebrick can be cosmetic; open joints and missing pieces aren't, because heat can pass through them. You'll hear which kind you have and what a repair would take, from fresh joints to new brick, before anything is booked.

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.

Flashing seen from the roof

Where brick meets roofing, layered metal flashing keeps rain out of the joint. It's built in layers, with base pieces on the roof and counter pieces set into the brick above them, and it's one of the places water gets in when it's worn.

All four sides of the flashing get checked for lifted edges, gaps, rust holes and dried-out sealant. On wider chimneys, our pros check for a cricket behind the chimney to shed water. If the roof covering around the chimney has failed, they'll say so, since that part goes to a roofer, and your quote will say who does what.

Does the chimney need sweeping before you inspect it?
