Local chimney and fireplace service for Timberleaf

If your home in Timberleaf, a City of Orlando neighborhood, has a factory-built fireplace, the metal chimney pipe runs up through the attic on its way to the roof, and what surrounds it there matters. Manufacturers design these chimneys with specific firestops, spacers and attic shields that keep insulation and wood framing at a safe distance from the pipe, and those parts are easy to disturb during other work in the attic.

The installation manual for your fireplace lists the parts required where the pipe passes through each ceiling and floor, the air space that must be kept around it and any shield needed where insulation is present. Insulation added later, a storage platform built near the pipe or wiring run too close can end up where the manual says nothing should be.

Rust on the pipe, stains on the framing around it or loose sections of pipe are signs that water or movement has affected the chimney. You can look without touching, if the attic is safe to enter. Stay on the framing, bring a flashlight and look at the pipe where it passes through the attic floor and the roof.

Is insulation pressed against the pipe or piled over a shield? Is anything stored against it? Are there water marks? Tell us what you see. Do not move shields or cut insulation away yourself. Our technicians inspect the chimney from the firebox, the attic and the roof, compare what they find with the manual for your model and correct what needs correcting with the maker's listed parts.

If the chase cover or storm collar on the roof is letting water in, we fix that too. We are locally owned and operated, and the Timberleaf inspection is free. The estimate lists each correction with its own price, and a 10% discount applies to work booked within 72 hours after the inspection. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers the job.
