Smells that will not go away
A fireplace smell can come from creosote, water or an animal, and each points to a different part of the chimney. Sooty, sharp smells that grow when exhaust fans run point to deposit in the flue. Musty smells point to water soaking the masonry from the crown or flashing down. A rotten smell points to something that died in the flue or on the smoke shelf.
The inspection follows the smell to its source rather than masking it. Whatever the source proves to be in your Orange Park house, the fix listed is the one that removes it. Choose a time that suits you in Orange Park, and (904) 920-5495 books the free inspection.

How It Works
How our inspection pros check a chimney in Orange Park
-
Firebox, damper and throat first
We start where the fire sits, checking the firebrick, the hearth, the damper and the chamber above it.
-
Flue checked end to end
A strong light and a mirror from below, and a look from the top where footing is safe, show the full run of tile.
-
Clearances, attic and roof
Gaps to framing are measured where we can reach them, then the crown, cap, flashing and height are checked up top.

You see each finding on site, and any repair goes on a written estimate ranked by how soon it matters.
Local Conditions
Storm season checks for Orange Park chimneys
Hurricane season stretches from June to the end of November, and inland chimneys lose caps and crack crowns in its storms too.
An inspection after a storm in Orange Park looks at the top first, then follows any water down to the damper and the attic.

Flue area against an appliance connector
For a stove, furnace or other appliance, the flue it vents into may not be smaller in area than the connector feeding it (FBC R1003.14). The inspection reads the connector size and compares it with the flue or liner. Too small restricts the exhaust; much too large lets it slow and cool. For gas appliances, sizing comes from NFPA 54 and the appliance's installation manual instead.
When two appliances share one flue, each connection is checked, since the combination changes what the flue has to carry. The manual for each appliance is asked for at booking so the check has the right numbers.
What a cap should do, and how it fails
A chimney cap sheds rain, bars animals from the flue and holds sparks in. To do that it has to sit square on the flue or crown, be fastened so wind cannot lift it, and keep its screen whole. The inspection checks each point: legs or band loose on the tile, fasteners rusted, mesh torn or clogged with soot, a lid dented low enough to choke the draft.
A missing cap is noted with the flue's outside size so the right one can be fitted. Where one cap covers several flues, it is checked against every opening under it.
A gas appliance vent, end to end
Gas appliances make no creosote, but their exhaust carries water vapor and carbon monoxide, so the vent has to stay clear, connected and correctly sized. The inspection follows the vent from the appliance collar to the termination, looking for separated joints, rust-through, sagging runs, and nests or debris at the top.
Where a gas appliance vents into a masonry flue, the flue's lining and size are checked against NFPA 54 and the appliance's manual. Work on the appliance itself is separate, done to its manual, and a gas smell means calling the gas utility or 911 from outside first. The vent's cap is checked for a screen or hood that has come loose.

FAQ
Before your chimney is inspected
Will you need to get into the attic?
If the chimney passes through an attic, yes, because the attic is where clearances to framing and fireblocking can be seen. If there is no safe access, the findings say what could not be checked.
If the inspection is free, where does the 10% off come in?
The inspection itself costs nothing. If it turns up work and that work is your first service with us, 10% comes off that job. Ask for it on the call.
