Chimney inspection details that matter in Bryn Mawr
A closer look at the inspection, from our family-owned crew serving Bryn Mawr.
Clearance between the fireplace and the framing
Wood framing needs breathing room around a masonry fireplace. The Florida code, section R1001.11, asks for at least two inches between combustible framing and the front faces and sides of the fireplace, and four inches from the back. Most of that space is hidden inside walls, so we check what can be seen from the attic, a basement or an access panel at your Bryn Mawr home. Anything we could not reach is named as a limit of the visit. Scorch marks on framing near the chimney are recorded as a priority item.
What the free inspection covers
The inspection itself costs nothing. We look at the fireplace, the chimney and the roof junction within the access available, explain what we see and hand you a written estimate for any work we recommend. Cleaning, repairs and extra access such as removing panels are separate services with their own prices. Homeowners in Bryn Mawr get every line in writing before deciding, with no obligation to book anything. If you want time to think, keep the estimate and call with any follow-up question.
Items worth watching instead of fixing now
A hairline crack that has not moved, light staining with no active water or slightly worn mortar may not need work today. We note those items so you can keep an eye on them, and we explain what change would make them a repair. For your Bryn Mawr home, that means the estimate only carries the work that is justified now, and you know what to look for between visits. If a watched item changes, such as a crack widening or a stain returning, call and we will take another look.

Inspection answers for Bryn Mawr homeowners
Questions we hear on inspection visits in Bryn Mawr, answered plainly.
Can you look at a chimney on a home I am under contract to buy?
Yes. Tell us the closing timeline and any concern already raised. We inspect within the access the seller allows and give you the findings and any repair estimate in writing.
Will you check the attic?
When there is safe access, yes. The attic often shows stains and framing contact that cannot be seen from the roof. If it is sealed or too tight to move through, that limit is noted in your findings.
