Our Approach to Chimney Repair in Ballast Point
Our local experts explain each step of the repair before any work starts on your Ballast Point home.
Replacing brick that has lost its face
Brick that flakes, pops or sheds its outer face is spalling, and it usually means water has been getting into the unit and working it apart. Mortar that is harder than the brick can make matters worse, because stress that should relieve through the joints travels into the brick instead.
Individual damaged bricks can often be cut out and replaced without disturbing the rest of the stack. We match size and color as closely as the available brick allows and tell you before work begins if a visible difference is likely on your Ballast Point chimney.
Repairing a metal chimney inside a framed chase
Not every chimney is brick. A factory-built fireplace uses a listed metal chimney that runs up inside a framed chase, and Florida's code requires it to be installed and terminated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Repairs to the pipe, the cap or the chase top follow the same rule.
The code also limits decorative shrouds to those listed for that specific chimney system. Our specialists read the fireplace label where it can be reached and use parts that fit the system, so a repair in Ballast Point keeps the chimney the way its maker designed it.
Nests, debris and chimney swifts
Birds and other animals use open flues, and nesting material can block the passage or hide damage. Chimney swifts are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and an active nest with eggs or young may not be disturbed until the birds have left.
If a repair visit turns up nesting, you hear what can happen now and what has to wait for the birds. Once the flue is clear, a properly fitted cap keeps animals out of your Ballast Point chimney without blocking the draft.
Chimneys that vent a furnace or water heater
Some masonry chimneys serve an appliance besides the fireplace, such as a furnace or a water heater. Each flue has to suit what is connected to it, and a flue built for one use may not suit another after an appliance is changed.
If your chimney vents more than the fireplace, tell us when you book. We make sure the repair plan accounts for every flue in the stack, and anything outside our scope is named clearly so the right trade can take it on in your Ballast Point home.
