Inside a Chimney Inspection From Local Pros
The inspection is free, and a same-day visit is possible when the schedule allows.
Soot and creosote in the flue
Every wood fire leaves some soot and creosote on the walls of the flue. NFPA 211 treats freedom from deposits as part of every inspection, because heavy deposits narrow the flue and can burn if they ignite.
Our pros note how much has built up and where. If the flue needs sweeping, that is quoted as its own service and can often be done on the same visit once you approve it, while the inspection itself stays free.
Metal chimneys and chase tops
The metal chimney above a factory-built fireplace is part of the same listed system. Section R1005.1 of the Florida residential code says factory-built chimneys, listed under UL 103, are installed and terminated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
On a framed chase, our pros check the chase top for rust and slope, the storm collar around the pipe and the cap on top, and they look for signs of water in the chase. One maker's manual calls for the chase top to slope away from the pipe, and a flat, rusting top is a frequent finding.
Before you change the fireplace
Adding an insert, switching fuels, relining the flue or remodeling around the fireplace changes how the system works. NFPA 211 calls for a closer examination when changes are made to a chimney system.
Our specialists inspect first, so the plan fits the chimney you actually have, and any work is priced before anything is ordered. That order saves you from buying parts that do not suit the chimney.
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.
