How we inspect chimneys in Winter Park
What our pros check and why, on chimney inspections across Winter Park.
Clearance between the fireplace and the framing
Wood framing needs breathing room around a masonry fireplace. The Florida code, section R1001.11, asks for at least two inches between combustible framing and the front faces and sides of the fireplace, and four inches from the back. Most of that space is hidden inside walls, so we check what can be seen from the attic, a basement or an access panel at your Winter Park home. Anything we could not reach is named as a limit of the visit. Scorch marks on framing near the chimney are recorded as a priority item.
Chimney checks for rental properties
Landlords and property managers often want a clear record of the fireplace before a new tenant moves in. We inspect the rental in Winter Park, explain which items need repair before use and write up the findings so they can go into your property file. If you would rather the fireplace stay out of service, we can describe how to close it off safely and what that involves. A clear record also helps if a tenant later reports a stain, a smell or smoke from the fireplace.
Sealant and coatings on the crown
A crown with fine cracks can sometimes be sealed with a flexible crown coating instead of being replaced. The method only suits a crown that is still sound and shaped to shed water. On your Winter Park chimney we check whether the crown qualifies, whether any earlier coating has failed and whether the cracks run deep. The estimate names the option that fits and says why the other one does not. A coating goes only onto a dry, clean crown, and any failed older layer comes off first.
