How Our Specialists Inspect Your Chimney
Local inspection pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every visit.
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.
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.
Chimneys with more than one flue
Some chimneys carry two or more flues, for fireplaces on two floors or for another heating appliance. Each flue needs to be checked on its own.
Our pros identify which flue serves which appliance, check each one's top, lining and connection, and tell you if any flue is unused, blocked or shared in a way that needs attention. An unused flue left open still takes in rain, so we note whether it should be capped or closed off.
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.
