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 Micanopy at (352) 675-6366.

Micanopy is home to Micanopy Historic District. Micanopy is roughly 13 straight-line miles from the Gainesville reference point.

Clues you can see from the yard

Before a ladder goes up, the chimney gets a look from the yard. A lean or a bulge, mortar washed out of the joints, white staining down the brick, rust streaks under the cap and gaps at the roof line all tell part of the story.

Our specialists note those first, since they guide where to look closely once they're on the roof or inside. A chimney that tilts or has separated from the wall gets checked at its base as well, because the footing carries all that weight. It's a quick step, and it saves time on everything that follows.

Clearance from the masonry to the framing

Masonry chimneys need the required separation from combustible construction. The assessment considers where the chimney runs and whether any applicable exception changes the detail. Accessible framing and fireblocking are checked without assuming that every chimney has the same clearance arrangement.

In the attic and any spot where the chimney can be seen, our specialists check that the gap is there and that nobody has packed insulation or stored boxes against the masonry. Wood that has darkened near a chimney is a sign it has been getting too much heat, and it's worth taking seriously. You'll hear what they found and what a fix would involve.

Fire blocking at each floor the chimney crosses

Every floor and ceiling the chimney crosses leaves a gap around it, and that gap has to be closed with noncombustible material. That fireblocking stops a fire in a wall cavity from racing up alongside the chimney.

It's a code requirement in Florida, and it's easy to miss when rooms are remodeled or insulation is added. Our pros look for it wherever the chimney can be reached, in the attic and around ceiling openings, and note any gap or combustible filler used instead. Closing the gap properly is a small job with a big safety payoff, and it's priced separately from any other repair on the list.

FAQs

Getting ready for a chimney inspection

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.

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.
