What goes into a chimney inspection in Crescent Park
Before you book in Crescent Park, these points are worth knowing.
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 Crescent Park 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.
Fireplaces in attached homes and condominiums
In a townhouse or condominium, the chimney may pass through space you do not own or serve more than one unit. Before we visit a home like that in Crescent Park, check with the association or building manager about roof access and who is responsible for the chimney top. We inspect the parts within your unit and those we are permitted to reach, and the notes make clear which items fall to you and which to others. Where the chimney is shared, a problem in one unit can affect another, so anything that may need the association's attention is noted.
Drip edges that keep water off the brick
A crown that overhangs the chimney with a drip underneath throws rain clear of the brick below. Without one, water runs straight down the chimney faces after every storm. The Florida code calls for a drip edge on a masonry chimney cap. We check whether your Crescent Park chimney has one and whether water staining on the upper courses suggests it is missing or not working. Soft, dark or flaking brick just under the crown often shares the same cause. The estimate explains whether a new crown with a proper overhang is worth doing now.

Chimney inspection questions from Crescent Park
Short answers from our chimney team in Crescent Park. Call for anything not covered here.
Can you inspect a factory-built fireplace?
Yes. We look for the listing label, check the firebox panels, the metal chimney, the chase cover and the cap, and compare what we see with the maker's instructions for that model.
Can I use the fireplace until you come?
If you have a specific worry, such as water, loose pieces or smoke spilling into the room, leave it unused until the inspection. Otherwise, let the last fire burn out well before the appointment so the system is cold.
