What goes into a chimney inspection in Edgewood
Before you book in Edgewood, these points are worth knowing.
Chimney height compared with nearby rooflines
The Florida code sets a height rule in section R1003.9. The chimney has to rise three feet or more past the spot where it leaves the roof, and top every part of the house within ten feet by two feet or more. An addition or a raised roof section can leave an older chimney short of that. When a remodel or a draft problem raises the question in Edgewood, we check the heights around your chimney and say plainly whether an extension belongs in the plan.
The kinds of deposits we look for
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys and fireplaces, names freedom from deposits as one of the things a chimney check confirms. Deposits change as they build. Early buildup is dry and flaky, heavier buildup turns sticky and tar-like, and the worst becomes a shiny, hardened glaze. We describe which kind lines your Edgewood chimney and where it sits. That description, more than a date on a calendar, tells you whether a sweep is due now. Buildup heavy enough to hide the flue walls also means the lining cannot be judged until the flue is swept.
When a sweep is part of the plan
An inspection tells you the condition of the system, and a sweep removes deposits from it. Heavy buildup can hide the lining, so sometimes the right order is to sweep first and finish the inspection after. If that applies to your Edgewood chimney, we explain why before any cleaning starts and put the sweep on the estimate as its own item. You never pay for a cleaning you did not agree to. The same applies when a blockage keeps us from seeing the flue, such as a nest or a pile of debris on the shelf.

Chimney inspection questions from Edgewood
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Edgewood is free.
Do you inspect chimneys that another company built?
Yes. We inspect the chimney as it stands today, whoever built or repaired it. If earlier paperwork exists, it helps us understand the parts in place.
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.
