What We Check on Every Chimney in Seminole Heights
Local inspection pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every visit.
The roof line and flashing
Where the chimney passes through the roof, base flashing and counter flashing overlap to keep water out. A chimney wider than 30 inches along the ridge direction that does not meet the ridge needs a cricket under section R1003.20 of the Florida residential code.
The laps, the corners and the counter flashing joint are checked on every side. Loose metal, tar patches and stains in the attic all go into the findings, with any repair priced separately.
Space between the chimney and the house framing
Section R1003.18 of the Florida residential code calls for an air space of at least 2 inches between a masonry chimney and combustible framing where the chimney sits inside the house or in an exterior wall, and 1 inch where the whole chimney stands outside the walls.
Much of that space is hidden, though some can be seen in the attic, at the ceiling and around the mantel. Our specialists check what is accessible and note what could not be seen.
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 Seminole Heights, 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.
Stucco and siding on the chimney
Stucco-clad chimneys and framed chases with siding hide the structure underneath, so cracks, stains and soft spots in the finish are the clues. Stucco can look sound from the ground while the masonry under it is wet, and siding can hide a soft frame.
Our pros look over the finish for cracks that run toward the roof line, stains below the top and trim that has pulled away, and they explain what each one suggests about the structure behind it.
