How we inspect chimneys in Hunter's Creek
What our pros check and why, on chimney inspections across Hunter's Creek.
Firebrick and the joints between the bricks
Firebrick lines a masonry firebox and takes the direct heat of every fire. We check the bricks for deep cracks, loose pieces and missing joint mortar, paying close attention to the back wall. Fine surface cracks can be ordinary wear, while open joints that expose the wall behind are a repair item. During the fireplace inspection in Hunter's Creek we separate those two cases in writing, so you know which items call for firebox repair. Open joints are repaired with a heat-rated product, since ordinary mortar is not made for the inside of a firebox.
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 Hunter's Creek 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.
Antennas, straps and hardware on the chimney
Old antenna mounts, satellite brackets and metal straps were often bolted straight into chimney brick. Each fastener hole can let water in, and a strap pulling on the chimney in wind adds stress to the top courses. Up at the chimney top in Hunter's Creek, we note any hardware, whether it is still in use and what its removal would involve, including sealing the holes it leaves behind. Old anchors are removed carefully so the brick around them is not damaged further. Hardware still in use stays until you decide where it should go.

Chimney inspection questions from Hunter's Creek
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Hunter's Creek is free.
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.
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.
