Looking closely at chimneys in Wyndham Lakes
A closer look at the inspection, from our family-owned crew serving Wyndham Lakes.
Inspecting a stucco chimney finish
A stucco chimney hides its structure behind a cement-based skin. Cracks in that skin may be shallow shrinkage lines, or they may signal movement and trapped water behind the surface. We tap and look along the finish of your Wyndham Lakes chimney for hollow spots, open cracks and stains below the roofline. The joint where stucco meets the roof gets extra attention, because it is easy to seal poorly and hard to judge from the yard. Where a hollow area turns up, we mark its outline so a repair covers the whole loose section instead of a patch in the middle.
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 Wyndham Lakes 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.
Inspecting a fireplace kept for looks
Some fireplaces are kept purely for decoration, with candles in the firebox and no plan to burn anything. The chimney still stands in the weather, though, and an open, uncapped flue still lets in rain and animals. For a decorative fireplace in Wyndham Lakes, the inspection focuses on the top, the damper and signs of water. If you never intend to light it, we can explain how to close it off properly. Candles in the firebox are fine, but a damper left open above them lets cooled indoor air escape all year.

Inspection answers for Wyndham Lakes homeowners
If your question is not here, our Wyndham Lakes team is a phone call away.
Can I use the fireplace until you come?
If you have a specific worry, such as water, loose pieces or smoke spilling into the room, leave it unused until the inspection. Otherwise, let the last fire burn out well before the appointment so the system is cold.
Can you inspect a fireplace we want to close off?
Yes. We check the top, the damper and signs of water, then explain how the flue can be closed and capped properly so rain and animals stay out.
