Looking closely at chimneys in Beulah
How the visit runs in Beulah, and where your questions come in.
A cricket behind a wide chimney
Rain running down a roof piles up against the uphill face of a chimney. When a chimney is more than thirty inches wide along the ridge direction and does not meet the ridge, section R1003.20 of the Florida code calls for a cricket, a small peaked diverter that splits the flow around it. We measure the chimney at your Beulah home, check for a cricket and inspect its flashing. If one is missing, the roofing work it involves is written up as a separate line.
Mortar joints on the exposed brick
Mortar is meant to be the part of a brick chimney that wears first. As joints age they recess, crumble or split along the brick edges, and water finds a path into the wall. During the inspection in Beulah we look at joint depth, loose sand collecting on the roof below the chimney and hollow joints near the top courses. Repointing a band of joints and rebuilding the top are very different jobs, so the estimate keeps them apart. We also check whether earlier repointing used a mortar harder than the brick, which can crack the brick edges over time.
A chimney inspection when you buy a home
NFPA 211 describes a more thorough examination when a property changes hands, since the new owner has no record of how the fireplace was used or maintained. A general home inspector may note the chimney only briefly. If you are buying in Beulah, share the address, the contract timeline and any concern already raised. We explain what our free visit can establish, what it cannot and how quickly the written findings can be ready. Buyers often need answers inside a short inspection window, so mention the deadline when you call.

Before your chimney inspection in Beulah
If your question is not here, our Beulah team is a phone call away.
Do you inspect sealed gas fireplaces?
We inspect the vent cap, the visible pipe and the roof or wall around it, and we check for nests or damage. Servicing the appliance itself is a separate job with its own estimate.
Do you inspect the chimney cap and screen?
Yes. We check the cap for rust, loose fasteners and a lid that sits too low, and the screen for holes or soot clogging. A worn cap is noted with the replacement type if one is needed.
