Once a strong storm has passed

High wind and hard rain work on the top of a chimney. A cap can tilt or blow off, a crown can crack, flashing can lift, and loose brick can shift without being obvious from the ground.

Following rough weather, our specialists check the chimney from the roof and from inside, including the attic around it, where water shows up first. If something needs a quick temporary cover to keep rain out, we'll say so and price it along with the permanent repair, so you can weigh both.

Local Conditions

Attic insulation against the chimney

When insulation is added to an attic in Jonesville, 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.

How It Works

Attic and connections

Clearances, fireblocking and any stove or insert connection within reach are checked.
Findings in writing

What a pre-sale inspection adds

When a property changes hands, NFPA 211 calls for a closer inspection, and it goes beyond the yearly look. Our specialists check the chimney more thoroughly, including the attic side, the clearances around it and every flue in it.

Buyers get a clear account of the chimney's condition before the deal closes. Sellers get a chance to fix things before a buyer finds them. Either way, the findings come on a written quote with prices for each repair, and the inspection itself doesn't cost you anything. Tell us your closing date when you call so we can fit the visit in with time to spare.

Water signs inside the fireplace

Water leaves clues well before it drips. Rust on the damper or firebox floor, white crusty deposits on the brick, wet debris on the smoke shelf, a musty smell and loose mortar at the top of the firebox all point to water getting into the chimney.

Those clues inside point our pros to the crown, cap, flashing or brick outside. Finding the entry point matters more than treating the stain on the ceiling, and you'll hear where the water is most likely coming in and what fixing it involves, with the price on the quote and the urgent part first.

Furnace and water heater flues in the chimney

Venting a gas furnace or water heater through masonry takes a lining made for that appliance. Under the Florida Building Code, a masonry chimney needs a lining suited to the appliance it serves, and a flue built for a wood fireplace can be too big or the wrong material for gas exhaust.

An oversized flue lets gas exhaust cool and condense, and that moisture works on the mortar from the inside. Our pros check how each appliance flue is lined and sized and look for signs of condensation. If a liner is needed, the options are priced separately, sized to the appliance's own instructions.

FAQs

Quick answers about chimney inspections

Can I watch while you inspect?

Please do. You're welcome at the hearth while our specialists work inside, and they'll show you the damper, the smoke chamber and the flue with a light. Roof work stays with our pros for safety.

Do you check the flue for the furnace too?

Every flue in the chimney gets inspected, including ones that vent a furnace or water heater. Our pros check that each is lined and sized for its appliance and that the partitions between flues are intact.
