Chimney Inspection, Top to Bottom
We inspect chimneys across Forest Hills for free and explain every finding on site.
Why a chimney gets checked every year
Under NFPA 211, chimneys, fireplaces and vents are inspected at least once a year, and the NFPA's heating safety tips tell homeowners to have chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. A chimney changes between visits even with light use: crowns crack, caps loosen, nests appear and joints open.
A yearly look catches those changes while the fix is small. Our family-owned team makes that visit simple, and the inspection is 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.
The cleanout at the base
Every flue in a masonry chimney needs a cleanout opening no more than 6 inches from its base, under section R1003.17 of the Florida residential code. It lets debris come out without taking the flue apart.
Our team makes sure the cleanout door is there, closes tight and is not blocked, and they note any debris or water at the base of the flue. A missing or rusted door is a small repair, priced before it is done.
Findings explained on site
At the end of the inspection our specialists walk you through what they checked, what they found and what they could not see. You can ask questions while the chimney is right there.
Any work they recommend goes into a free written estimate with upfront prices and no hidden fees. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it, and anything you approve in the 72 hours that follow the inspection is 10% off.
