From the first walkthrough to the final cleanup, our chimney & fireplace care in Country Walk is planned around this climate.
Country Walk holds a unique place in Florida building history: Hurricane Andrew came through here in 1992, and the neighborhood that rose afterward was built to the toughened standards the rest of the state later adopted. Its fireplaces are mostly mid-90s prefab systems now hitting the age where caps, chase covers, and flue parts need attention. We know these systems well, we stock the common replacement pieces, and we give Country Walk homeowners straight answers about what's worn and what isn't.
Masonry drinks. Brick and mortar were born porous, and Country Walk's climate rarely gives them the chance to dry out fully. Trapped moisture feeds efflorescence, rusts embedded metal, and slowly widens every hairline gap. Managing that moisture — with sound crowns, good caps, and breathable water repellents — is most of what inland chimney care comes down to.
Country Walk was rebuilt almost from scratch after Hurricane Andrew flattened it in 1992, so most homes here date to the mid-1990s or later. The canopy replanted after Andrew has grown back thick across the community's boulevards.
