Chimney and Fireplace Inspection in Citrus Park

Every inspection we do in Citrus Park follows NFPA 211, roof first and hearth last.

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 Citrus Park. 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.

The screen under the cap

If your masonry chimney has a spark arrestor, its mesh size comes from section R1003.9.2 of the Florida residential code. The screen must stop anything larger than half an inch across while letting anything under three eighths of an inch pass, and it must be accessible and removable for cleaning.

A screen clogged with soot or debris can restrict the draft, and one with holes rusted through no longer keeps embers in or animals out. Our pros check both and note whether the screen can be cleaned or should be replaced.

Space between the chimney and the house framing

Section R1003.18 of the Florida residential code calls for an air space of at least 2 inches between a masonry chimney and combustible framing where the chimney sits inside the house or in an exterior wall, and 1 inch where the whole chimney stands outside the walls.

Much of that space is hidden, though some can be seen in the attic, at the ceiling and around the mantel. Our specialists check what is accessible and note what could not be seen.

Free inspection, separate repairs

The inspection is free. If the chimney needs sweeping or repairs, those are separate services, and each one is described and priced before you approve it. Your estimate separates each item, so you can approve a sweep and hold off on a repair, or the other way round.

There are no hidden fees and nothing obliges you to proceed. Say yes within 72 hours of the inspection and the work is 10% off, with our 100% satisfaction guarantee behind it.

On any service we offer

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