Chimney and Fireplace Inspection in Bayshore Beautiful

Every inspection we do in Bayshore Beautiful follows NFPA 211, roof first and hearth last.

What the flue is lined with

Section R1003.11.1 of the Florida residential code lists the lining materials a masonry chimney may use, including clay flue liners complying with ASTM C315 and listed chimney lining systems complying with UL 1777.

Our specialists identify which lining your chimney has and check what can be seen of it from the top and from the firebox with a strong light, looking for cracks, gaps, missing sections and heavy deposits. Whatever cannot be seen is named as a limit of the inspection.

Soot and creosote in the flue

Every wood fire leaves some soot and creosote on the walls of the flue. NFPA 211 treats freedom from deposits as part of every inspection, because heavy deposits narrow the flue and can burn if they ignite.

Our pros note how much has built up and where. If the flue needs sweeping, that is quoted as its own service and can often be done on the same visit once you approve it, while the inspection itself stays free.

The damper and smoke chamber

The damper should open fully, close snugly and move without forcing. Above it, the smoke chamber and smoke shelf funnel smoke into the flue, and they collect debris and rainwater when something above is open.

Our specialists work the damper, look for rust that points to a leak and inspect what can be seen of the smoke chamber. Anything that needs repair gets a written price.

Chimneys with more than one flue

Some chimneys carry two or more flues, for fireplaces on two floors or for another heating appliance. Each flue needs to be checked on its own.

Our pros identify which flue serves which appliance, check each one's top, lining and connection, and tell you if any flue is unused, blocked or shared in a way that needs attention. An unused flue left open still takes in rain, so we note whether it should be capped or closed off.

On any service we offer

Any paid service booked no later than 72 hours after the inspection is 10% off.
