What goes into a chimney inspection in Lake Weldona
Parts of the visit our chimney specialists explain to homeowners in Lake Weldona.
A cricket behind a wide chimney
Rain running down a roof piles up against the uphill face of a chimney. When a chimney is more than thirty inches wide along the ridge direction and does not meet the ridge, section R1003.20 of the Florida code calls for a cricket, a small peaked diverter that splits the flow around it. We measure the chimney at your Lake Weldona home, check for a cricket and inspect its flashing. If one is missing, the roofing work it involves is written up as a separate line.
Metal chimneys and the parts they were listed with
A factory-built chimney is only as sound as the combination of parts it was tested with. Section R1005.1 of the Florida code requires these chimneys to be listed and labeled and to be installed and terminated per the maker's instructions. For your Lake Weldona home, that means we check that the cap, pipe sections and supports appear to belong to one system. A part from another maker, or a decorative shroud added later, is flagged for a closer look. The label on the chimney pipe or its support often names the series, which helps when matching parts are needed.
What accessible means on an inspection
An honest chimney inspection is limited to what can be reached and seen without taking the house apart. That includes the firebox, the damper area, the chimney top, the roof junction, the attic and any open access panels. Inside walls and behind finished surfaces are outside that reach. For your Lake Weldona home, our notes list the areas we covered, so you know exactly what the findings do and do not describe. If you want an answer about a hidden area, we explain what opening it would involve before any work is agreed.

What people in Lake Weldona ask about chimney inspections
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Lake Weldona is free.
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 inspect a factory-built fireplace?
Yes. We look for the listing label, check the firebox panels, the metal chimney, the chase cover and the cap, and compare what we see with the maker's instructions for that model.
