Our approach to chimney inspection in Lake Cain Hills
Parts of the visit our chimney specialists explain to homeowners in Lake Cain Hills.
Reading the crown during a chimney inspection
The crown is the concrete or mortar top that closes the brickwork around the flue. Florida's residential code, in section R1003.9.1, wants that top pitched to throw off water, with a drip edge at its rim. On your Lake Cain Hills chimney we look for hairline cracks, open cracks, flat spots that hold rain and edges trimmed flush with the brick. Each finding is written down with the reason it matters, so a crown repair is never quoted from a guess made in the driveway.
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 Lake Cain Hills, we check the heights around your chimney and say plainly whether an extension belongs in the plan.
Following up on a home inspector's chimney note
A home inspection report may say only that the chimney should be evaluated by a specialist. Bring that exact line to us. At your Lake Cain Hills property we look at the item the inspector flagged, explain what it is and whether it needs work, and put any repair in a written estimate you can share with the other party. If the note turns out to be a minor item, you hear that plainly too. We look over the rest of the fireplace and chimney as well, since the flagged line may not be the only item.
