Looking closely at chimneys in Falcon Trace
Our team in Falcon Trace walks every homeowner through details like these.
The ash dump in the firebox floor
Some masonry fireplaces have a small metal door in the firebox floor that drops ashes into a chamber below. We check whether the ash dump at your Falcon Trace home opens, closes and seats properly, and whether the chamber has room left. A warped door or a full chamber can let embers settle where nobody sees them. If the chamber empties through an outside cleanout, we look at that door too. A dump door that has rusted open goes on the estimate with its fix, usually a new door and frame.
A musty or smoky smell from the fireplace
A fireplace that smells stale on humid days usually has moisture mixing with old deposits in the flue. The odor itself is a clue rather than a diagnosis. During the chimney check at your Falcon Trace home we look for water getting in at the top, heavy buildup and air moving down the flue when the house is closed up. The written findings pair the smell with its likely source and the simplest fix that addresses it. Once the cause is confirmed, a sweep, a better cap or a top-sealing damper often cuts the smell down.
Branches and trees near the chimney top
Branches hanging over a chimney drop leaves and twigs into an open flue, brush against the cap and give animals an easy route onto the top. They can also affect how smoke leaves the chimney. From the roof in Falcon Trace we note any branches close to the chimney top and whether debris from them has reached the flue. Trimming is a job for a tree service, and we tell you which branches concern us. Leaves caught in a cap screen can also block the outlet and slow the draft.

Before your chimney inspection in Falcon Trace
Questions we hear on inspection visits in Falcon Trace, answered plainly.
Do I need to be home during the visit?
It helps if you are. We explain the findings at the fireplace, where you can see what we mean and ask questions. If that is not possible, arrange access and we will go over the findings by phone.
What if I only want the chimney checked and no repairs?
That is fine. The inspection stands on its own, and you are free to use the findings however you like, whether you book repairs with us, plan them for later or simply keep them on file.
