Chimney and fireplace repair help for homes in Westwood Lakes

Cracked flue tiles are hard to see and easy to ignore, and our family team repairs flues for homes in Westwood Lakes. As a locally owned company, we also sweep chimneys, install liners and repair fireplaces. The repair we recommend is the one your flue needs, not simply the one we happen to sell. Every flue repair starts with a free inspection.

We look at the flue from the firebox and from the top, and we clean it where deposits hide the surface. Then we tell you how much of it we could see. The free written estimate carries upfront pricing. Book from it inside the 72-hour window that your free inspection opens, and 10% comes off.

The residential volume of the Florida Building Code requires a masonry chimney to carry a flue lining. In many chimneys that lining is clay tile set in mortar. Tiles can crack from sudden heat or from the chimney settling. Joints between tiles can open or lose their mortar. Either defect lets heat and combustion gases reach the masonry and the framing around it.

The national standard for chimneys and fireplaces treats a damaged lining as something to correct before the fireplace is used again. Depending on the damage, the options include repairing joints or relining with a listed liner. A coating system made for flue repair is another, applied as its maker instructs. We explain which suits your flue and why.

Tell us what burns in the fireplace and whether you have seen pieces of tile in the firebox. Mention whether anything unusual happened during a recent fire. While the flue is open, it is covered each evening, and debris is hauled away. The written record lists what we repaired, and our workmanship warranty covers it.
