An inspection you can watch

Curious what our pros are looking at? You're welcome to stand at the hearth while they work inside. They'll shine a light up the flue, show you the damper and the smoke chamber, and point out anything worth knowing right there in the firebox.

Roof work stays with our specialists for safety, but they'll describe what they saw up top and show you from the ground where it is. Nothing is hidden in jargon, and nothing is repaired without your say-so. The chimney tends to make a lot more sense afterwards.

Local Conditions

Brick, sun and rain away from the coast

Sun and rain wear on masonry anywhere, and a chimney in Williston is exposed on every side above the roof. Mortar washes out of the joints first, then brick faces can start to break down.

An inspection spots washed-out joints early, when a targeted repointing job is enough, long before the chimney needs rebuilding. Our pros point out each spot and price the work.

How It Works

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

Measuring the hearth in front of the fire

In front of the opening, a noncombustible hearth extension catches sparks and any log that rolls out. Under the Florida Building Code, the extension reaches 16 inches or more out from the opening and 8 inches or more beyond each side, growing to 20 and 12 inches once the opening is 6 square feet or larger.

Your hearth gets measured against those figures and checked for cracked or loose tiles where embers could slip through to wood below, and for how it sits against the floor. A short hearth can be extended with matching noncombustible material, and the options come with prices.

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.

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.

FAQs

Booking an inspection in Williston

What happens after a chimney fire?

If it's burning now, leave the house and call 911 once you're outside. Once it's out and the fire department has cleared the house, don't light another fire until the flue has been inspected, since tiles can crack and the damper can warp. Our pros check the full flue and the attic side and tell you what needs repair.

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.
