How we inspect chimneys in Lake Eola Heights
Parts of the visit our chimney specialists explain to homeowners in Lake Eola Heights.
A stain on the ceiling beside the chimney
A brown ring on the ceiling next to a chimney breast is a common reason homeowners call us. The stain shows where water became visible, which may be well below where it entered. At your Lake Eola Heights home we check the flashing, the crown, the cap and the roof around the chimney, then look for a path that connects one of them to the stain. If the source cannot be pinned down on a dry day, we say so and explain the next step.
Before remodeling the room around a fireplace
New flooring, a new mantel or a refaced fireplace wall all touch the parts the code controls, such as the hearth extension and the space around the opening. Checking the fireplace before the remodel starts is easier than correcting it after. For a remodel in Lake Eola Heights, we inspect the firebox, hearth and surround and explain which measurements your designer or contractor should keep in mind. A new hearth or surround must also suit the fireplace type, since factory-built units have their own clearances. We are glad to review the plan with your contractor before materials are ordered.
Rattling and whistling from the chimney top
A rattle on windy days often comes from a loose cap, a bent lid or a damper plate moving in its frame. A whistle can come from a gap in the cap or a damaged screen. Neither sound is dangerous on its own, but each points to a part that is working loose. During the inspection in Lake Eola Heights we find the source and tell you whether tightening it will do or whether the part needs replacing. Noises that change when the damper is opened or closed also help locate the source.
