Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire. Third-degree creosote is glazed and hot enough to crack flue tile, and removing it is the entire point of an annual sweep.
Most chimney leaks are not the brick. They are a failed crown, missing cap or bad step flashing where the stack meets the roof - which is why repointing a chimney that leaks through the crown fixes nothing.
What the job includes
- Annual sweeping and creosote removal
- Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
- Stainless cap and crown repair
- Flue liner installation
- Flashing and leak repair
- Dryer vent cleaning
Homes in Cape Coral and chimney sweeping work
Public figures for the city of Cape Coral in Lee County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Ft Myers Page Fld Ap) averages 0.1 nights a year at or below 32°F.1,2 With rare freezes, masonry damage usually comes from water alone - a failed crown or missing cap - rather than from freeze-thaw cycles. The median home in the city of Cape Coral was built in 2000, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Florida median of 1988.3 Newer homes commonly have factory-built (prefab) fireplaces; they are inspected and serviced differently from masonry, so mention which type you have.
Most of Cape Coral's housing is recent: only 15% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 17% were built since 2010.3 Annual precipitation is about 57 inches, with 18 days a year of an inch or more.1,2 Heavy rain tests the flashing and crown; most chimney leaks enter there rather than through the brick, and the inspection report should say which. Cooling dominates the year: about 4,046 cooling degree days against 252 heating degree days (base 65°F).1,2 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.
Building permits in Cape Coral are normally issued by the city building department.4,5 Where a liner or rebuild needs a permit, the contractor files it with the city before work starts.
