An Honest Look at Your Chimney
Every inspection we do in Gibsonton follows NFPA 211, roof first and hearth last.
Nests and animals in the flue
An uncapped flue can attract birds and animals. The chimney swift, a bird that nests inside chimneys, is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which limits what can be done while an active nest is in place.
If our specialists find signs of nesting, they tell you what is allowed now and what must wait for the birds to leave, and how a properly fitted cap keeps the flue clear afterward.
Inspecting a chimney for a sale
Selling or transferring a property is one of the points where NFPA 211 expects a deeper examination than the routine yearly check.
Our pros inspect chimneys for buyers and sellers in Gibsonton, explain the findings on site and put any recommended repair in a written estimate that both sides can read. We describe what we saw, and we say clearly what could not be seen. Sales run on deadlines, so tell us the closing date when you arrange the visit and we will plan around it.
What an inspection can and cannot see
Much of a chimney is hidden inside walls, behind finishes and above ceilings. An inspection covers the parts that can be reached and seen safely, and some findings point to areas that need opening up to confirm.
Our pros say clearly which parts they checked and which they could not, and they explain how a hidden area could be checked if it matters for your decision.
Water repellents and painted chimneys
Some chimneys have been painted or sealed over the years. Brick Industry Association Technical Note 6A prefers penetrating, vapor-permeable repellents on brick, discourages film-forming coatings and puts repairs first.
Our pros note any coating that is peeling, blistering or trapping water and explain whether repairs, a breathable repellent or neither makes sense for your chimney. A coating that blisters or peels can mean water is trapped behind it, which points to a leak worth tracing first.
