How Our Specialists Inspect Your Chimney
Our local pros check what can be seen safely and tell you clearly what could not.
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.
Factory-built fireplaces and their labels
A factory-built fireplace is a tested, listed unit. Section R1004.1 of the Florida residential code requires it to be listed and labeled and installed according to its listing, and the listing standard is UL 127.
Our specialists look for the label, identify the model where they can and check the firebox panels, the doors and screens, the air openings and the connection to the chimney. Replacement parts and changes must fit that listing, and we tell you if anything does not.
Decorative shrouds on metal chimneys
Some framed chases wear a decorative shroud at the top. Section R1005.2 of the Florida residential code allows a shroud there only when the shroud itself is listed and labeled for use with that particular chimney system.
Our specialists identify what is on top of your chimney during the inspection and explain what it means if a shroud is not listed for the system underneath, including the options for correcting it.
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.
