Puddles in the firebox after a storm
Finding puddles, wet ash or rust on the firebox floor after a storm? Rain is coming straight down the flue or through the masonry, and the fireplace is the lowest point it reaches.
The search starts at the top: an uncapped or damaged flue, a cracked crown, or brick soaking through. Our pros fix the entry point and check the damper and firebox for water damage while they're at it. Letting it continue rusts the damper and softens the mortar at the back of the firebox. Get a repair plan for the wet firebox in Archer by phoning (352) 675-6366.
Archer recorded a population of 1,140 in the 2020 Census. Archer is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

After a big storm inland

Our specialists check the chimney top, the flashing and the attic side after rough weather, secure anything loose and price the permanent repair on the quote. A temporary cover is available if rain is on the way.

Getting replacement brick to blend in
Brick varies in size, color and texture from one batch to the next, and a chimney has weathered for years. A new brick straight from the yard can stand out badly against old ones.
Size comes first in the match, since a brick that's the wrong height throws off every joint around it. Color and texture come next, from salvaged brick where possible. Mortar color is matched too, and joints are tooled to the same profile as the existing ones. You'll see a sample before the work begins, set against the old brick in daylight so the match is judged fairly.
Where chimney work ends and roofing begins
The chimney and the roof meet at the flashing, and that line decides who does what. Our pros handle the chimney: brick, mortar, crown, cap, and the counter flashing set into the masonry.
Shingles, tiles or metal roofing around the chimney are a roofer's work. When the roof covering itself has failed, our specialists will say so and work alongside your roofer, making sure each part is done in the right order. Your quote names who handles each piece, so nothing falls between two contractors and gets missed. If you don't have a roofer, we'll tell you what to ask one for.
Vines and plants on the brick
Vines climbing a chimney look nice, but their roots work into mortar joints, hold moisture against the brick and pry loose anything that's already weak. Plants growing from the top of a chimney mean water and soil have collected there.
Our specialists remove growth carefully, since tearing vines off can pull mortar with them. They then check and repoint the joints underneath. If plants are rooting on the crown, the crown needs attention too. The cleanup and the repair are priced as separate lines, so you know what each costs. Trimming the plants back from the brick afterwards keeps the new joints sound.
