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 Orange Heights at (352) 675-6366.

Orange Heights is one of the Alachua County places our pros cover. Our Orange Heights coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

Local Conditions

Steep roofs and metal roofs

The roof decides how the top of the chimney gets inspected on your home in Orange Heights. A walkable shingle roof lets our pros stand at the crown; a steep or metal roof means working from a ladder or a roof bracket instead.

Either way, you'll hear what was checked up close and what was seen from a distance, so the summary is clear about what it covers.

Checking the chimney's height against the roofline

Too short a chimney draws poorly and can drop sparks onto the roof. The Florida Building Code's minimum is 3 feet over the roof where the chimney exits, and 2 feet taller than any part of the building within 10 feet.

Both rules get measured, which matters most on homes where a roof has been raised or an addition built nearby. If the chimney falls short, you'll hear what raising it involves, and your quote says who does that work. You'll see the measurements and the price before anything is decided, and you can check them yourself.

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.

Inspecting before a relining job

Relining starts with a closer inspection under NFPA 211, and it makes sense. A new liner is sized to the flue and to the appliance, and it has to pass any offsets and fit past damaged tile.

Our specialists sweep the flue if needed, then run a light and a measuring piece down to check its size, straightness and condition. They also look at the smoke chamber, the crown and the top of the flue, where the liner will be fastened. The liner options that follow are based on what they found, and each comes with its own price and a note of what it suits.
