How Our Specialists Inspect Your Chimney
What our inspectors look at on a visit in East Tampa, from the cap down to the hearth.
Brick, stucco and mortar joints
The chimney walls are checked for cracks, spalled brick, open mortar joints, leaning and water marks. Each one says something about how the chimney has been weathering and where water may be getting in.
Where mortar needs attention, our pros follow the National Park Service principle that repointing mortar should be softer than the brick it sits in. Any masonry repair is explained on site and priced on its own line.
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.
Signs of water inside and out
Water does plenty of damage to chimneys, so every inspection includes a search for it: stains beside the chimney, rust on the damper, white crust on the brick, damp ash and spalled faces near the top.
When our pros find water signs, they trace them to the likely entry point and explain what the repair involves before anything is priced. A controlled water test can be scheduled if the source is still unclear.
Carbon monoxide alarms and the fireplace
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911 from outside. For prevention, the NFPA's heating safety tips advise installing and maintaining CO alarms in the home.
During the inspection our specialists check that the chimney is clear and drawing, and they can point out where alarms are missing near the fireplace and the bedrooms. A flue partly blocked by a nest or debris, or a chimney that draws poorly, is fixed before the fireplace is used again, and the estimate explains how.
