Chimney inspection details that matter in Timberleaf
A closer look at the inspection, from our family-owned crew serving Timberleaf.
Chimney height compared with nearby rooflines
The Florida code sets a height rule in section R1003.9. The chimney has to rise three feet or more past the spot where it leaves the roof, and top every part of the house within ten feet by two feet or more. An addition or a raised roof section can leave an older chimney short of that. When a remodel or a draft problem raises the question in Timberleaf, we check the heights around your chimney and say plainly whether an extension belongs in the plan.
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 Timberleaf 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.
Embers escaping past the fireplace screen
Burn marks on the hearth, scorched rugs or tiny holes in a nearby floor covering show that embers have been getting past the fireplace screen. We check the screen or doors for gaps and the hearth extension for size and condition. At your Timberleaf home we then explain whether a tighter screen, hearth repair or a change in how the fireplace is used would best stop it happening again. Rugs should also sit clear of the hearth extension, an easy change you can make today.

Inspection answers for Timberleaf homeowners
If your question is not here, our Timberleaf team is a phone call away.
Can you inspect a chimney on a tile roof?
Yes. We choose where to step and how to reach the chimney so the tiles are protected. If a section cannot be walked safely, we inspect it from a ladder or the ground and note that in the findings.
Is same-day service available?
Often, yes. Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, so call early in the day and we will tell you the next open time.
