Chimney & fireplace care for The Falls homes, handled by a Pinecrest-based team that works your neighborhood every week.
The Falls sits directly southwest of Pinecrest along US-1, a quiet pocket of subdivisions wrapped around the shopping center that gave the area its name. We pass through it constantly on our way up and down the corridor, and its 1970s-era homes, with their original masonry chimneys, are exactly the kind of work we know best.
Summer storms in The Falls don't fall straight down — they arrive sideways, in bands, with wind behind them. Vertical rain rolls off a chimney; wind-driven rain gets pushed into hairline cracks, under drip edges, and past tired flashing. That's why a chimney that 'never leaked before' suddenly does after one loud July afternoon.
The neighborhoods around The Falls are largely 1970s and 80s single-family subdivisions, ranch and split-level homes on quiet cul-de-sacs, many with original masonry fireplaces. Mature oaks and ficus line the residential streets here, dropping steady leaf litter on rooftops through the wet season.
The area takes its name from The Falls, the open-air shopping center on US-1 at SW 136th Street known for its waterfall-lined walkways.

Absolutely. Wind can loosen caps and flashing, sideways rain exploits any opening in the crown or the joints, and falling branches from mature trees are a real hazard. A pre-season check and a post-storm look are both smart.
