How Our Specialists Inspect Your Chimney

What our inspectors look at on a visit in Bloomingdale, from the cap down to the hearth.

What NFPA 211 asks an inspection to check

The national standard for chimneys and fireplaces, NFPA 211, frames a chimney inspection around three things: soundness, freedom from deposits and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance and repairs follow when the inspection shows they are needed.

Our pros use those three questions to organize every inspection in Bloomingdale. You hear what they found under each one, in plain words, before any work is suggested, and you can ask about anything while the chimney is right there.

How tall the chimney stands

Height affects how well a chimney draws. Section R1003.9 of the Florida residential code sets two tests. The top has to clear its own roof penetration by 3 feet or more, and it has to rise 2 feet or more over any part of the building within 10 feet.

Height is measured against nearby roof lines during the inspection. If a later addition or a roof change has left the chimney short, we explain what that means for your fireplace and what the options are.

Sorting urgent repairs from ones that can wait

Findings differ in urgency. A blocked flue or a cracked firebox needs attention before the next fire, while a hairline crown crack can often be scheduled. Loose bricks near the top and a missing cap sit in between, worth fixing before the next storm season.

Our specialists sort what they find into what to fix now, what to plan for and what to watch. You get each item priced in writing.

The chimney cap and how it is mounted

The cap keeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue. During the inspection our pros check that it is fastened securely, sized for the flue and free of rust, dents and clogged mesh.

One manufacturer's instructions keep multi-flue cap flanges at least an inch from the crown edge, so the anchors do not crack the concrete. Our specialists check the mounting as well as the condition, and a replacement cap is priced separately.
