Chimney Sweeps, Inspections & Leak Repair in Palm Bay, FL
Straight answers for Space Coast and Central Florida homeowners — honest diagnosis first, upfront pricing always.
About Us
An Honest Diagnosis Comes First
Chimney Doctor is a Palm Bay-based chimney and fireplace company serving homeowners across Brevard County and Central Florida. We built this business around one problem we kept seeing: people paying for roof repairs, chimney work, or full replacements they never needed, because nobody took the time to find the actual source of the trouble.
So that's where every job starts — with a real inspection, a camera where it helps, and a plain-English explanation of what we found. Our pricing is flat and stated up front. If the fix is small, we'll say so. If your chimney is fine, we'll tell you that too and shake your hand on the way out.
We handle everything a Florida chimney or fireplace needs: annual sweeps and safety inspections, leak diagnosis and repair, chase cover replacement, gas fireplace inserts, masonry restoration and waterproofing, dryer vent cleaning, and pre-sale real estate inspections.

Chimney Leak Diagnosis & Repair Flat $250 Diagnostic
Not sure if that ceiling stain is the roof or the chimney? Don't pay a roofer to guess. Our $250 diagnostic inspects the flashing, crown, chase cover, and flue — camera-first, inside and out — and pinpoints the actual entry point before you commit to any repair. You get the findings, photos, and a written price for the fix. That's it. No pressure, no bundled "while we're up there" upsells.
Chimney Sweeps & Annual Inspections

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends an annual chimney inspection whether you burn every week or twice a winter. Creosote builds up after just a handful of fires, and during Florida's long off-season, dormant flues are prime real estate for raccoons, birds, and wasps. One yearly visit clears the buildup and the nests, documents the system's condition from firebox to flue cap, and satisfies most homeowner-insurance requirements.
Chase Cover Replacement & Decorative Chase Covers

Chase Cover Replacement & Decorative Chase Covers
The chase cover is the flat metal pan sealing the top of a prefab chimney — and on the Space Coast, salt air off the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon corrodes them years ahead of the national norm. Most rust through quietly, and the first symptom is a water stain two rooms away. We replace failing covers with stainless or galvanized steel built for coastal exposure, and we fabricate decorative covers that upgrade your roofline while they're at it. Beachside homes in Satellite Beach, Indialantic, and Melbourne Beach: this is the first thing we check.
Gas Fireplace Inserts & Installation
Masonry Chimney Restoration & Waterproofing
Chase Cover Replacement & Decorative Chase Covers
A gas insert turns an unused firebox into a fireplace that lights with a switch — instant warmth for that one January cold front, and ambiance the other 51 weeks. We handle sizing, venting, and installation from start to finish, and we confirm the flue is sound before anything is connected.
Masonry Chimney Restoration & Waterproofing

Masonry Chimney Restoration & Waterproofing
Florida humidity, salt air, and daily summer downpours are hard on brick and mortar, but an aging masonry chimney is almost always restorable. We repoint failing joints, seal cracks in the crown, wash decades off weathered brick, and finish with a breathable waterproofing that locks rain out without trapping vapor inside the masonry — the mistake that quietly destroys chimneys from within.
Dryer Vent Cleaning

Lint-clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of household fires, and the warning sign is mundane: towels still damp when the timer goes off. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap and confirm the airflow is back where it should be. It pairs naturally with a chimney visit — one trip, both fire risks handled.

Buying or selling? A documented chimney inspection — firebox, flue, crown, exterior — removes the biggest unknown from the negotiation. Most fireplaces can be repaired rather than written off, so a clean report (or a priced repair list) protects the deal for both sides. We work with agents and inspectors across Brevard County and can usually schedule ahead of your inspection deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at chimneydoc23@gmail.com or call us at (321) 477 4096 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Location is the clue. If the water stain sits on or near the wall that shares the chimney, the chimney is the more likely source — not the roof deck. A roofer typically won't inspect the chimney interior, which is why so many leaks survive a roof repair. We start inside the flue with a camera and work outward, so one $250 visit rules both in or out.
The NFPA 211 standard recommends an annual inspection regardless of how often you use the fireplace. Creosote can accumulate from as few as a handful of fires, and animals nest in dormant flues during Florida's long off-season. One visit a year catches both.
Yes. Gas burns cleaner, but the flue still has to vent combustion byproducts safely. Annual inspections check for blockages, corrosion, and connector integrity — the problems gas-only homeowners miss because there's no soot to prompt a call.
A chase cover is the flat metal pan sealing the entire top of a prefabricated chimney chase. A chimney cap is smaller — it covers just the flue opening, usually with a spark screen. Masonry chimneys get caps; prefab chimneys get chase covers. Both wear out faster in coastal Florida, and both leak when they do.
Yes — we're open seven days a week, 7am to 6pm, and you can text us at (321) 477-4096 any time. Chimney leaks don't wait for Monday, especially in summer storm season.
Our leak diagnostic is a flat $250, which includes the camera inspection, photos of what we find, and a written price for any repair. Prices are quoted before we start, and they don't change on the roof.
