The Parts of Your Chimney We Look At
The inspection is free, and a same-day visit is possible when the schedule allows.
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.
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.
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 Lake Magdalene, 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.
Gas fireplaces vented through a chimney
A gas fireplace that vents through a masonry chimney still depends on a sound, clear flue and a working cap. Nests, debris and fallen tiles can block that path the same way they block a wood-burning flue.
The vent path and the chimney that carries it are part of the inspection. Service on the gas appliance itself is a separate visit, and we tell you if it needs one.
