Ojus sits between Biscayne Boulevard and the Oleta River corridor, where year-round humidity and salt air push mortar joints and flashing to fail long before anything is burned in the firebox. That’s why most of our Chimney Inspection calls in Ojus are about water intrusion, not creosote. We know these homes. We know what the salt air does to a crown cap and what a summer storm does to flashing that looked fine in March.

Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Ojus’s Preferred Chimney Inspection Company

We’ve been inspecting chimneys in Ojus since 2002 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and the work runs on The Garrison Standard: a written price before we start, a full-year guarantee on every repair, and a free return visit if a covered repair fails. Homeowners near the 199th Street corridor, along NE 10th Avenue, and up toward the Oleta River State Park side know us for showing up inside the window we give and leaving a photo report, not a mess.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so when the van pulls up in Ojus you know exactly who’s walking through the door. The phones are staffed around the clock. Hank Delano runs the team with a simple rule: don’t recommend a repair we can’t show you on camera. That’s why Ojus customers get a photo report with every inspection, not a sales pitch.

We carry professional-grade materials on the truck, including DuraFlex liners and HeatShield resurfacing compound, so when an inspection turns up a real problem we can often quote the repair on the spot with the actual materials specified. No vague “we’ll get back to you.” You get a price, in writing, that day.

Key Takeaways

• Flat price agreed before we book, not after we arrive

Chimney Leak in Ojus

A Chimney Leak in Ojus is almost never about the firebox; it’s about the crown, cap, and flashing where salt air and summer downpours do their work year after year. We start by running a camera up the flue to trace the moisture path, then document every finding with photos so you can see the leak for yourself. In Ojus, a chimney leak inspection runs $189 to $289, and if the camera shows a failed cap collar or cracked flashing, we quote the repair flat before we climb down.

Crown and Cap Damage

Salt-laden air accelerates spalling on mortar crowns and galvanized caps in Ojus faster than nearly anywhere inland. A crown that looks intact from the ground may be shedding small chips into the flue. We check the full crown surface and cap collar from the roof, and we photograph what we find.

Flashing and Water Tracking

Chimney flashing at the roofline takes the brunt of South Florida’s storm cycles. The home there had a rust line down the firebox and light first-degree creosote from a few winter fires. The camera showed the water was tracking down past a spalling crown and into the smoke chamber, and the report let the homeowner repair the top of the chimney and hold the sweep until fall.

Chimney Camera Inspection in Ojus

A Chimney Camera Inspection in Ojus runs $219 to $299 and is the only way to see what’s actually happening inside the flue liner without dismantling anything. We run a waterproof camera from the firebox up to the crown, recording the whole path. Homeowners in Ojus get a full photo report before we discuss any repair, because no one should be told they need thousands of dollars of liner work they can’t verify.

Moisture Path Documentation

Because Ojus chimneys fail from the top down, the camera shows us exactly where water is entering: a cracked crown, a rusted cap collar, separated flashing, or a degraded liner. The photos become part of your inspection record. If you’re selling a home near NE 210th Street, a camera inspection report gives the buyer real documentation instead of a verbal assurance.

Real Estate Inspections

We perform Level 1 and Level 2 inspections for real estate transactions throughout Ojus, including homes around the 199th Street corridor. Sellers and buyers both get the same thing: a written, photo-documented report that states plainly what the chimney needs now and what can safely wait.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus

We specify materials by the job, not by margin. For Ojus homes, that means DuraFlex for flue relining where a liner has failed from moisture, HeatShield for resurfacing when a third-degree creosote glaze or spalled tile needs treatment, and Famco caps and Copperfield dampers for top-of-chimney replacements. We stock common sizes locally, so when the inspection turns up a problem we can often quote the repair the same day with the exact brand and part number in writing. No substitute materials. No “equivalent” products. You know what’s going on your chimney before you pay for it.

Common Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Ojus Homes

• Spalled crowns from salt air. The constant humidity and salt exposure along the Oleta River corridor eats away at mortar crowns faster than the rest of the state. A crown that’s shedding sandy material onto the roof below is already failing.
• Rusted cap collars and flashing separation. Storm cycles near Biscayne Boulevard push water under flashing that looks tight from the driveway. The camera shows the moisture track inside.
• First-degree creosote buildup from a few winter fires. Most Ojus chimneys are only used a handful of times a year, which produces light creosote. It still needs to be checked, but it rarely justifies a full liner replacement.
• Flue liner spalling from moisture absorption. Humidity penetrates older clay tile liners, and over time the inside face begins to flake. Left alone, spalled tile can block the flue and become a fire hazard.
