Chimney inspection explained for Lake Underhill homeowners
Here is how our local team works through a chimney inspection at your Lake Underhill home.
Inspecting a chimney after a strong storm
High wind and heavy rain test every part of a chimney top. After a storm, look from the yard for a tilted cap, missing flashing, loose brick or debris on the roof, but stay off the roof yourself. Our crew in Lake Underhill checks the cap, crown, flashing and chimney faces, and tells you which damage needs quick attention and which can join a later repair. If water came indoors, mention exactly where it appeared. Storm damage and older wear are priced as separate lines, which keeps your records clear.
Checking the chimney after roof work
A new roof is a good moment to confirm the chimney flashing was handled correctly. Roofers sometimes reuse old counterflashing, cover it with sealant or leave the cricket untouched. For your Lake Underhill home, we look at the new flashing where it meets the brick or chase and at the attic side for any fresh staining. Any concern is written up so it can go back to the roofer if the work is still under their warranty. We check that the counterflashing overlaps the new base flashing and that no joint was left relying on caulk alone.
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 Underhill 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.

Inspection answers for Lake Underhill homeowners
If your question is not here, our Lake Underhill team is a phone call away.
What happens if you find a problem?
We explain it on site and put the repair in a written estimate with upfront pricing. Nothing is started without your approval, and the estimate says what each item fixes.
Do you inspect the chimney cap and screen?
Yes. We check the cap for rust, loose fasteners and a lid that sits too low, and the screen for holes or soot clogging. A worn cap is noted with the replacement type if one is needed.
