Chimney inspection details that matter in Keene's Pointe
Straight answers about chimney inspection in Keene's Pointe, from the people who do it.
The joint where the crown meets the flue tile
Flue tile and a concrete crown expand at different rates as they warm and cool. The Florida code asks for a caulked bond break around each flue liner at the crown, following ASTM C1283, so the two parts can move without cracking each other. During the visit in Keene's Pointe we check that joint for hard mortar packed tight against the tile, split sealant or a ring of cracks circling the flue. Found early, a failed joint is a modest repair. Resealing with a flexible product costs far less than replacing a crown that has already split.
Real estate chimney inspection for sellers
Sellers often learn about a chimney problem only when the buyer's report arrives. An inspection before listing gives you time to price a repair, fix it or disclose it on your own terms. Our pros in Keene's Pointe look at the fireplace and chimney with the sale in mind and give you the findings and any estimate in writing. If an agent or buyer asks for a specific scope, tell us before the visit. Fixing a small item before listing is often simpler than negotiating over it later.
A chimney that leans or pulls away
A chimney that appears to tilt, or a widening gap between the chimney and the house wall, is a structural question. Movement can come from the footing, the connection to the house or damaged masonry higher up. We look at the gap, the brick near the base and the roof junction at your Keene's Pointe home, and we say plainly when a condition goes beyond an inspection and needs a structural answer before anyone uses the fireplace. Until that answer is in, the fireplace should stay out of use.

Before your chimney inspection in Keene's Pointe
Questions we hear on inspection visits in Keene's Pointe, answered plainly.
Do you go up on the roof?
Yes, when it is safe to do so. Much of what matters on a chimney sits above the roofline. If weather or the roof surface keeps us off it that day, we tell you which parts were seen from the ground and which still need a closer look.
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.
