Our approach to chimney inspection in Lake Nona
Before you book in Lake Nona, these points are worth knowing.
Inspecting a stucco chimney finish
A stucco chimney hides its structure behind a cement-based skin. Cracks in that skin may be shallow shrinkage lines, or they may signal movement and trapped water behind the surface. We tap and look along the finish of your Lake Nona chimney for hollow spots, open cracks and stains below the roofline. The joint where stucco meets the roof gets extra attention, because it is easy to seal poorly and hard to judge from the yard. Where a hollow area turns up, we mark its outline so a repair covers the whole loose section instead of a patch in the middle.
The smoke chamber above the damper
Above the damper, a masonry fireplace narrows through the smoke chamber before the flue begins. Its walls are often stepped brick, and a rough or broken surface collects deposits. With a strong light we look into that chamber at your Lake Nona home for loose mortar, open gaps and heavy buildup. Smoke chamber repair is its own job with its own estimate, and we explain when it should come first and when it can follow other work. Rough chamber walls can also slow the draft, which sometimes explains a fireplace that smokes only while a fire is getting started.
Drip edges that keep water off the brick
A crown that overhangs the chimney with a drip underneath throws rain clear of the brick below. Without one, water runs straight down the chimney faces after every storm. The Florida code calls for a drip edge on a masonry chimney cap. We check whether your Lake Nona chimney has one and whether water staining on the upper courses suggests it is missing or not working. Soft, dark or flaking brick just under the crown often shares the same cause. The estimate explains whether a new crown with a proper overhang is worth doing now.
